When to Double Barrel

Leo S. Class — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 01:03:11 +0000

I wanted to write a bit about double barreling. When to do it and when not to. Something that I consistently see with the students that I work with is a tendency to bet the turn too much or in the wrong spots. There is definitely a strong theme these days in poker literature, on forums etc about the benefits of being aggressive but I think the problem is that some people take that a little too far and end up causing even more problems for themselves. I call it betting for the sake of betting.

Aggression in itself is never a bad thing in poker but when you are being aggressive just because you don’t know what else to do, it is very easy to see through and counter.

DoJ’s Prohibition Seizure of Bodog Comes up Empty

Nancy W. Dooley — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:12:36 +0000

Quite often you will hear today’s online gambling environment compared to the days of Prohibition in the late 20s and early 30s. And in typical ‘Untouchables’ fashion, today’s G-Men went after the Al Capone of the online industry – Calvin Ayre earlier this week. Tuesday a story broke outlining the indictment of Ayre, Bodog’s founder, and the subsequent seizure of their original domain Bodog.com. But just like in the first hour of Brian De Palmas Oscar-winning film, the Feds raided a warehouse that had been vacated. And vacated for awhile.

There are only two topics of conversation in Los Angeles today. The first is about who will win at the Oscars. The second is that Phil Ivey has broken off his self imposed exile and has returned to playing tournament poker in the United States. Ivey has been out of action for a year. First his divorce kept him away from the tables and then the Full Tilt saga. Ivey has chosen the 2012 WPT LA Poker Classic (LAPC) as his comeback vehicle.
