A while back I developed a model for player development that I call Stages Of A TAG. I think most players go through a series of stages or realizations about no-limit hold’em as they improve their games from rank beginners to decent tight-aggressive (TAG) players and beyond. I think these stages are worth thinking about [...]

Our new e-book Small Stakes No-Limit Hold’em has been out for a month, and I wanted to thank all of you for the incredible month it has been. The response to the book has been absolutely tremendous, and as of today the sales numbers are just a few books shy of double my most optimistic [...]

Today we completed all the editing on the new e-book Small Stakes No-Limit Hold’em. This is a big milestone. The book is now final. All we have left to do is layout (basically make it look pretty) and then a final proofreading pass to make sure the prettying process didn’t break anything. Editing took a [...]

A couple of weeks back I did a video for Stoxpoker called Stages Of A TAG. The basic idea is that I think most players go through a series of stages or realizations about no-limit as they improve their games from noob to TAG and beyond. I think these stages are worth thinking about because [...]

These days I’m continuing to work furiously on the new no-limit book with Sunny Mehta and Matt Flynn. We’ve made excellent progress. We have finished writing everything, and we’re in the editing stage. At the end of last week we finished edited together the first 160 pages or so which is the core of the [...]

The New Book Today marks an important internal deadline for our new small stakes no-limit hold’em book. It’s the day that we’re completely finished writing. Now we just need to edit (though we’ve done a fair amount of that already), proofread, and typeset/lay it out. I’m not completely sure how long that process will take, [...]

Quite a few short stackers play in the $2-$4 and higher online 6-max no-limit games. Many of them play a strategy that seems likely to me to be profitable. I think a decent chunk of their profit comes from a play that I see them make repeatedly that I think many full-stacked regulars don’t handle [...]

Here’s a question I hear all the time: “How short a stack can you play before it’s not profitable anymore? At some point the blinds eat you away too fast and you can’t wait for a good hand anymore, right?” This question is based on a false assumption that is the subject of today’s article. [...]

Here are some quick thoughts for this warm Spring morning. There’s a lot of money to be made on the river in the $1-$2 6-max no-limit games on Full Tilt. A lot of the regulars miss value bets a lot, and they fold too many hands to overbet shoves even if you aren’t really representing [...]

Check out all the StoxPoker demo videos at YouTube. Currently over 100 demos are available, which should give you an excellent idea of what to expect when you sign up at StoxPoker. Check out this excellent video of Bryce Paradis playing heads-up $200-$400 limit hold’em. Bryce is a one-of-a-kind wonder. His videos are insane. They [...]
