Step 4: Learning which starting hands to play:
Starting hand selection is one of the fundamental skills of Texas Hold'em No Limit, so take your time with this step. The concept of position is closely tied to hand selection and thus needs explaining before we can move on. In my previous post I described the Texas Hold'em No Limit gameplay and the role of the Big Blind, The Small Blind and the dealer. The dealer in Texas Hold'em has the best position

Hi Guys
I have finally found the time to play some more poker. So will have a go at building a bankroll by playing SNG's at Inter Poker (Cryptologic).

My first goal is to stabilize my bankroll for $5 buy ins. Should in theory have

I have been really busy this week, working as a research project manager during the day and on the PokerBRB Community in the evenings. I think we have managed to integrate the 4 branches of our community nicely; I am really looking forward to see if our changes bear fruit and increase traffic to our sites.
The downside to my busy week has manifested itself in my Bankroll Building Project; I have only managed to play 6 session hours since my last update. On top of this I haven't won a single

This article is a part of the Poker Rakeback series.
As a response to the article "10 Questions About Rakeback" I was asked whether a rakeback deal results in a forfeit of the poker room sign up and reload bonuses.

I will elaborate on three of the bonuses given with a rakeback deal at PokerBRB.

Step 3: The Texas Hold'em No Limit Gameplay:
In my previous post in this series I described the different Texas Hold'em hands and how they rank against each other. We are now ready to move on to the actual Texas Hold'em game and how it's played. In Texas Hold'em two players - the Big Blind and the Small Blind - are required to place bets (known as blinds) in the pot (the amount of money to be won in any single completed hand) before any cards

Here's the good news first: I now have a net profit of 32,15$, a 78$ bankroll and I've played 35,15 session hours in total. The bad news is that I have still been having problems with my connection at Celeb Poker. My theory is that my Internet connection is incompatible with their software....makes no sense I know, but damn it it's all I've got. But come to think of it my Celeb Poker bad news is not bad news after all; today I got so sick of timing out that I cashed out from Celeb Poker (GASP!)

Before going into why discipline is important in bankroll management and how it is developed a clear definition of discipline is needed:
…..persistently act in the direction of a goal regardless of external adversity or internal state.
