Help answer the question about Poker
How do I become a more aggressive poker player?It may sound like a bit of a stupid question – obv just bet and raise more. But when I try to become more aggressive like you see on TV then I bust of tournaments very quickly, and people start to call my bets with high cards on the river!
How do these aggressive poker players like Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey do so well??
What’s makes a aggressive poker player? And how do I become a more aggressive poker player?
Thanks!

??? Yes I agree with you 100% !! the hand must be played, and the 2 cards exposed be show. If 2 or more players acted ( and in your situation…there is) it's called a "significant action" the hand continues.
Where did you play that tournament? I hope this didn't bother you too much and I hope you did good in the tournament.

Hi Becky, I have tried many poker sites but I would have to say that the best one by far is Full Tilt Poker.
Full Tilt Poker offers a 100% matching bonus up to $600 using the current bonus code: XCASHBONUSX. So if you deposit $600, you will get $1200!
There is one catch to this offer and that is that you have to play games to have your bonus cash given to you. I deposited $200 my first time and got $140 free cash back so far =D

Take turns being the dealer. Do the raising and calling the same as you would with a regular dealer, you are just taking turns, and the dealer plays as well. It would be cool to have everyone cut the cards after the initial shuffling, or just have the person next to the "dealer" cut them once or twice. we play with just $10 a player, and then split up all the chips so that everyone begins with the same. whoever is last at the table wins it all. The amount each puts in is up to you, but you might not get so many players if you go too steep for the fee. You can play however you want, but that is how we do it, winner takes the pot at the end of the night. Have fun! (and good luck!)

hmm good question! the 2 most easy sites to win on are PKR poker and paciffic poker…the bonus on paciffic poker and PKR are hard to get and not very good but the people are so bad it dont matter. Both fulltilt and Pokerstars only give you good bonus's if you play loads every day of every month which can be unfair.
But saying that Pokerstars is the best place in the world for tournaments..they do take for ever though but they have huge prizepools!!! in the recent WCOOP the main event had a 10.2 million prizepool!!! lol!!
hopes this makes sense…

1 in 649,740.
Order doesn't matter, so we're dealing with combinations. The total number of five card hands is:
52c5 = 52! / (47! * 5!) = 2,598,960.
Exactly four of them are royal flushes. 2,598,960 / 4 = 649,740.

Nowadays most people look at Johnny Chan, Phil Helmuth, Daniel Negraneu (sp?), and all the superstars and think that poker is a glamorous, easy life that lets you make millions for a day or two of work. Turn on your TV and you'll see three or four different shows, all featuring clean cut guys who don't seem to care if they win or lose, having a great time at their "job". They're earning more than I'll make in 5 years while wearing a Hawaiian shirt and playing outside in the Caribbean! I can think of dozens of people who all claim they wish they could be professional gamblers. They're all fools.
What they don't show you is the 80% of people who try to make a living playing poker and fail. They also don't really acknowledge the fact that a poker player lies for a living, and most are pragmatic to an almost Machiavellian degree. I'm friends with a couple of professional gamblers, and once accompanied one of them to an underground game in Phoenix. I wasn't playing all that great, but that's probably due to the fact that I was playing in a small, smoke filled, dingy, poorly lit room surrounded by people who desperately needed a shower, several of whom were openly carrying firearms. I left after 3 hours, down about $150, and asked my buddy why he played there. He told me they took half the rake of an Indian casino, and then went back to play for the next 18 hours. Even if you're in a casino though poker is a tough, tough way to make a living. Grinding out the rent money on a limit table is, to put it bluntly, boring. The funny thing is that it's exactly like work. What's fun and exciting when you do it for you becomes boring and tedious when it's your job. And that's all that it is to most professional players: a job.
The poker explosion in the last decade has really cleaned up the game. But there's simply no getting around the fact that for every Doyle Brunson or Erick Lindgren there are a thousand penniless bums who thought they were better than they were. And for every final table on the WPT there are a thousand dingy games in second rate casinos and run down apartments. I love poker. I love playing it with friends, sometimes in casinos, and online. But it's just a hobby. To do it as a job is a hard, hard life. I'm not wary of professional poker players, same as I'm not wary of cops or truckers or anyone else who does a hard job. They're at least giving their dream a shot.
For a great reference read Poker Nation: A High-Stakes, Low-Life Adventure into the Heart of a Gambling Country by Andy Bellin. He chronicles some of his experiences trying to become a professional poker player in New York and the experiences of some of his friends. A truly great read.
