SpadeClub poker tips

1. If you have any draw after the flop, make sure you go all in immediately.

2. If you are faced with an all-in bet and you have top pair with a weak kicker and are a 3-2 underdog you should always call this bet. Laugh when someone points out how behind you were after the flop.

3. Don't ever let anyone bluff you. Even if you have to call an all-in bet with nothing, it's better to call and show the table you won't be pushed around than to be bluffed. Never let anyone bluff you ever!

4. If you have a decent stack and there are about 50 people left in the tournament, sit out. Don't allow yourself to make the bad decision you know you are capable of. Just sit out and try to make the final table by having other, better players take each other out because they are actually trying to win the tournament.

5. Always try to steal by going all-in pre-flop from under the gun.

6. Always call large pre-flop bets with whatever you may be holding. You might flop trips.

7. Play like it's a freeroll. It's a freeroll and there's always another one starting in a couple of minutes.

Look dammit, I'm gonna play any two cards in any position I want to. I will push whenever I please and will almost never fold anything better than a four high, so if all you PEOPLE (I use the term loosely here) will just stop blogging about me and just SUK IT UP, maybe we could get back to playing some very good DONKEY KONG here. sheeesh

These are the SC Commandments 1-7. LOL I love the "sit out when you get down to 50 player so you don't MAKE A MISTAKE" and "let the players that WANT TO WIN kill each other." Very Funnt stuff!

This is a very different group of players. Donkeyism is alive and well.

Just keep saying, "This is not real world poker" and you will be OK.

You know what is funny is that poker hands are so totally random these strategies might payoff over time on this site. Have your ever played at a table online where all players but you are sitting out? You wouldnt believe how hard it is to bust them out of the tourney when they are finally forced to go all in blind....even with relatively good starting hands! It happened to me the other night and I probably got beat a dozen times in the process.

No matter what hand you have its not good he
