Poker content on YouTube: Daniel Negreanu
If you are a poker player, especially a beginning poker player, the internet offers a wide variety of ways to study and improve your game. In my last article, I provided a list of the top 10 poker training sites on the internet. But if paying for a subscription isn't your thing, there are plenty of free ways to improve your skills. One of the most obvious is YouTube. I know it may sound ridiculous, but there's a mountain of material, from instructional video snippets to excerpts from poker entertainment broadcasts, many with commentary added that was not a part of the mainstream broadcast. I'm going to demonstrate that today with Daniel Negreanu as our subject...

The top 7 poker faux pas that should be punishable by death

Just a bit of fun...

The top 7 poker faux pas that should be punishable by death
Okay, maybe not death. Perhaps my mental stability has been damaged beyond a capacity for forgiveness. But certainly people who commit these acts of careless cruelty deserve punishment of some sort.

Sign of a live poker player

I was in McAlester, OK Monday. Going through a small town on my way home, I was pulled over for doing 63 in a 50 zone. The officer asked for my ID. I immediately opened my wallet and handed him my River Spirit player's club card.

True story.

Unbelievable hand, $1300 pot at $1/$2 NLHE live, snap-call with Jack-high

Here's the situation: I'm at my local casino playing $1/$2 NLHE. I bought in for $300 and had an up and down night, and have $250 in front of me after 4 hours of play. By now it's around 1am. We are seven-handed as the poker room started emptying out around midnight.

A player I'd never seen before sits down in seat 5. I'm in seat 2. He buys in for $300. He is well dressed, but obviously drunk. He has the option to wait until the button passes but he opts to play his first hand UTG. He limps. I'm on the button with AQo. Limps around to me and I make it $12 to go. Small blind calls (he's a certified calling station), and Mr. Drunk reraises to $35. Folds back to me and I move all in for $250. Both players fold.

Next hand I pick up JdTd. A player in MP raised to $8, and I call on the button hoping Mr. Drunk comes along. Mr. Drunk makes it $25 to go. MP folds, I call, and Mr. Station calls on the button. Flop KJTr. Mr. Drunk bets $40. I call. Station calls. Turn Q. Mr. Drunk bets $60. I call. Station folds. River 4. Mr. Drunk bets $60. I call. Mr. Drunk shows 88.

Mr. Drunk goes broke and rebuys for $200.

Next orbit I pick up AsKs on the button. It's limped to me and I make it $15 to go. Station calls. Mr. Drunk calls. Everyone else folds. Flop is 569 with 2 spades. Mr. Drunk bets $50. I shove for $500. Station folds. Mr. Drunk calls. Turn 9. Riv 7. Mr. Drunk turns over Q2, and I scoop.

Mr. Drunk rebuys for $300 more.

I get AA and KK cracked and drop to $640 or so. Meanwhile, Mr. Drunk sucked out on someone while I was away from the table, and doubles up to around the same amount, $640.

Next orbit I'm dealt Qs6s on the button. Mr. Drunk is in, so I'm in. The pot is $12 and we're off to the flop which comes 2QQ. The blinds check and Mr. Drunk bets $20. It folds to me and I call. Both blinds fold. The turn is a 3. Mr. Drunk bets $95. I pause for just 2 seconds and call. The river is another 3. Mr. Drunk looks at me and shrugs (actually shrugs!) and pushes out two stacks of red, $200. I put my head down, shuffle my chips, announce "all in". Mr. Drunk snap-calls, and turns over J2o. The pot came to $1302 total, and with that one pot, I'm even for my last five sessions.

Mr. Drunk decides $800 is enough of a loss and quits. Those of us who were left pushed the blinds around for half an hour before packing it in, during which time I was the target of their envy--and I don't blame them one bit. Snap-call with Jack-high. It's a message from the poker gods, that's what it is. "Sorry about all those bad beats last week, son. Here's a little gift for you to make up for it."

Thank you, poker gods. Thank you very much.

Getting love (and money) from my opponents

I have been running hot tonight in 25c/50c LHE RUSH so I put in a longer session than usual, much to my opponents' dismay. One in particular has nothing but love for me. Fairly standard, imo. But correct me if I'm wrong.
