Poker Stars "Deep Stack" Tourneys
Spry - The Poker Stars deep stack tournament is just about as close to the World Series of Poker Main Event structure that you can get in a small buy-in poker tournament. (yeah, we know it is not exactly the same as the WSOP ME, but it is a whole lot closer than ALL other online events.
$10/20 Starting Blinds. $5,000 starting chips, 30 minute levels. Because you're playing online, you will get roughly twice the hands per hour than you do live. So, although the WSOP ME starts w/ $10,000 in chips and longer rounds, you start with smaller blinds and get more hands online...

Scandal At Paradise Poker - ZapAA Eliminated
Spry - When ''ZapAA'' arrived in Paradise, he looked way too young to be playing poker, he'd easily get asked for an ID trying to get into a bar or even buying smokes...
Hiding your age online might be relatively easy, but when you're sitting face to face it's a bit more difficult. According to Paradise Poker's terms and conditions, you must be at least 21 to play online poker.

AK - The Misplayed Monster
justthedude - Tell me if this sounds familiar; “I can’t win with AK”, “I had big slick, I can’t believe you beat me with that!”, etc., etc. etc.
AK is a very strong hand, however it can and does get beginners in trouble. If I were to hazard a guess, I’d say that AK is the most misplayed hand in No-Limit Poker.

5 Tips for Small Stakes No-Limit Texas Holdem Cash Game
Spry - This is important - You're not going to win a lot of money by stealing the blinds. At the $25 max buyin games the small blind is .10 and the big blind is .25. Why steal 35 cents? For the most part it is a waste of time to try to steal it, other than mixing up your game some but no one notices at low limits anyway really.

2 Poker Rules To Live By
justthedude - As most poker players, I have a certain set of “rules” that I play by.
Some of them are general rules dealing with how I approach the game and others are more specific like how I play a particular hand against a particular type of player.
