In high limit hold’em games you need to be very tricky and creative in order to make money. In low limit hold’em games it is a bit different. Of course creativeness and aggressiveness are also advantages but a tight strategy can be just as profitable.

What do I mean by tight strategy? It does not mean you only need to play with pocket aces or kings. In late positions you can do some blind stealing with reasonable hands and that is enough to remain at your stack size. This means that even if you do not have any great hands but you steal blinds once in a while your stack will remain the same size and you will not lose it slowly. This is crucial because when you get your big hand and get involved in an all-in you should have full stack size.

Now I analyze a hand where I was involved with a player in a huge pot and my note told me what to do.

I was playing at a $0,50/$1 blind level, 9 handed no limit hold’em table. My stack was $89,95 on the button and everybody folded to me. I had AsTs which is a perfect hand to make a regular raise and try to take the blinds. I raised to $3,50, the small blind called and the big blind folded. The pot was $8 and the small blind started the hand with $57,80.

The flop was: 6h8hTc. I had top pair with top kicker but the table has many draws. My opponent checked. I should bet large, expect him to fold when he has nothing and make a call with a large variety of hands. I bet $7 and he quickly called. The pot was $22.

The turn was a blank, the 2s. Then something very interesting happened. My opponent pushed all-in with $47,30 on a $22 pot. I made the call and my opponent showed 4h7h for an inside straight draw and a flush draw. What a shame that Kh hit the river and completed his flush. My opponent won the $116,60 pot by hitting one of his 12 outs.

As you can see your notes can make a huge difference in large pots. It helped me a lot to read my opponent in a key situation. Unfortunately he hit his 27% (12 outs from the 44 remaining cards) but in poker that happens. All you can do is play your best poker and when you go all-in you lay back and hope for the best.

It is a well known fact that the house always wins. If it didn’t, casinos would be the worst business investment ever.

There are however a handful of games in which, on average you should win instead of lose.

The key games in which this is true are poker, sports betting and games with a jackpot such as progressive slot machines. This article deals with slot machines, and will give you strategy on how to beat slot machines. It is quite simple. With basic arithmetic you can win at poker machines.

Poker Machine / Progressives Slots

Progressive slots are one of the very few games in a casino in which you can beat the house. I encourage you to play for fun, but it is also fun to know that the odds can be stacked in your favour.

It involves Expected Value, which is a very useful tool used by professional gamblers.

To evaluate a games profitability just find out your odds of winning, and subtract your odds of losing. Slot machines are a very special case because your odds of losing are stable, while your odds of winning can vary greatly. It varies due to the size of jackpots in progressive slots. Our very simple poker machine technique involves this resultant.

If you’ve ever played a poker/slot/pokie machine online or at a casino, you may have seen a game in which the progressive jackpot was just won. Instinctively, you may have thought that it was no longer worth it playing on that slot machine. You were right. When the progressive jackpot starts, the expected value is at its minimum: when you play, you’re losing money. But as the progressive jackpot rises, your expected value gets better and better, until at one point it becomes positive. At that point, every single coin you put in has a positive value: it becomes an investment and you can win at poker machines! Hence why it is the best poker machine strategy.

This simple poker machine technique works with all progressive jackpot games. Simply find out what the basic jackpot is and when the progressive counter brings it to 3 – 4x where it started, start playing it. For example, if your jackpot starts at $1,000 wait until the progressive jackpot is up to or past $3,000 before you even consider playing. It is definitely worth it and it is the easiest and best how to win at poker machines strategy. (more…)
