Doyle's Poker Tips
Doyle Brunson, the "Texas Dolly," winner of 10 WSOP bracelets and one of the most prolific poker players the World has ever seen has written these poker tips for us to share with you. Using Doyle's Tips when playing Texas Holdem will help your game no end.
POKER TIPS
When Not To Bet
You should be very reluctant to bet a marginally strong hand into a consistent bluffer. You'll often make more money checking and calling. (Note, though, that if the bluffer will not bet most losing hands he would have called with, you should bet.)
Long Range Benefits Of Being Gracious
Don't ridicule opponents mistakes. You'll motivate them, and they'll play better. Always make it as comfortable as possible for your opponents to lose. The only strategically acceptable exception is you've busted them permanently. Then if you ridicule them, it can't cost you anything in the future. It's just bad manners. A similar Mad Genius concept applies to real life: If you're not going to kill 'em, let 'em save face.
A Good Time To Bluff
One of the best times to bluff is when an opponent is staring you down, reaching for his chips, or otherwise threatening to call. While opponents who are trying to discourage your bet by threatening to call, MIGHT actually call, they don't have hands powerful enough to raise. So, what remains are usually hands that they will be reluctant to call with. They will either call -- reluctantly -- or fold. Usually, in limit poker games where the size of the pot dwarfs the size of the bet, an opponent acting in this matter will fold often enough to give your bluff attempt an expectation of profit.
Don't Play To Impress Your Opponents
Sometimes you're frustrated because there's such a large luck factor in poker. Once we master enough poker skills, it's only natural to want to let others know that we are accomplished players. But I've seen a whole truckload of money lost in a half-hour by players wanting to impress others in a short span of time.
You might be able to do that in basketball with a few blocked shots, some fancy dribbling, and a couple of dunks; but poker isn't the type of game that makes impressing others easy. Ultimately, if you vary from your game plan to impress opponents, you're risking losing a lot of money that should have stayed in your purse or wallet. Sitting and waiting for an hour won't look very impressive to your opponents, and choosing the routine thing instead of a fancy play won't, either. But this is the way of winning poker.
Only occasionally can you use your expertise profitably to show off. Most of the time, you can't. But, as a consolation, all the money you accumulate by the end of the year will BE impressive in the long term -- unless you throw it away by trying to LOOK impressive in the short-term.
Listen For Sighs
Poker players who sigh and subsequently bet usually hold big hands. They're trying to appear sad in an attempt to fool you. Among more sophisticated opponents, the sigh won't be obvious. You'll have to listen closely, but it's often there -- and it's usually an act, whether subtle or more obvious.
Although this powerful tell won't help you much playing online poker in today's environment, it is one you should use against opponents sitting at the same physical table in traditional poker games. Seldom call a sigh.
Rake vs. Rent
When the house rakes money directly from your pot, you need a bigger advantage to call and raise. If you're renting your seat by the hour, you should play more liberally.

Doyle's Poker Tips
i WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU .Poker has been appearing on television somewhat regularly since the late-1970s. In the United States, CBS started airing the final table of the World Series of Poker (guess handbags) Main Event as an annual one hour show around this time and later by ESPN. For many years, the coverage was less than robust because viewers at home could not see what cards the players had or follow their progress visually through graphics. Instead, the coverage essentially involved the commentators guessing what cards the players had in a documentary style production.
In 1997 the hole cam, which allows audiences to see the hidden cards that players held in their hands, was introduced in Europe. The hole cam was patented by WSOP bracelet winner Henry Orenstein and first used in the Late Night Poker television series. It was used again in the inaugural Poker Million tournament in 2000 which boasted the attraction of the first £1,000,000 poker game on live television. By 2001,louis vuitton handbags, however, Late Night Poker had been cancelled in the UK and televised poker could no longer be found in Europe. In the US, the 1999, 2000 and 2001 World Series of Poker events were only broadcast in one hour documentaries on the Discovery Networks.
In 1999, documentary filmmaker Steven Lipscomb produced and directed a documentary on the WSOP for the Discovery Channel. It was the first U.S. poker production funded entirely by a television network rather than the casino. When the 1999 WSOP aired, it doubled its audience over the hour time slot. Seeing the audience reaction, Lipscomb believed there was an untapped market and began pitching poker series ideas to cable and network television. Because poker had been on the air for over twenty years, with little viewer interest, dooney and bourke handbag
broadcasters were unwilling to commit resources to put a series on the air.
In October 2001, Lipscomb wrote a business plan. Along with poker player Mike Sexton and poker business woman Linda Johnson, Lipscomb approached casino mogul and avid poker player, Lyle Berman, whose company Lakes Entertainment agreed to fund the World Poker Tour -- the first organized and televised tour of poker tournaments in the world.
In June 2002, WPT filmed its first episode at Bellagio in Las Vegas. Wanting to create a compelling, action-packed show, WPT took eight months to edit the first WPT episode. ESPN, who resumed their coverage of the World Series of Poker in 2002, featured pocket cam technology in their return broadcast--albeit, in a very limited capacity--prior to the WPT's first show.
During this time, the “WPT Format” was created featuring the WPT hole cam, interactive graphics and “live sports feel”. These new features put viewers into the minds and at the heart of the action. The first WPT episode aired on March 30th, 2003 on the Travel Channel and became an instant success (the highest rated show in network history).
A few months later, ESPN's broadcast of the 2003 World Series of Poker adopted many features characteristic of the emerging WPT series; with an improved graphic display detailing the exciting action of the Main Event's final table. This, coupled with the unlikely outcome in the 2003 WSOP Main Event--where Tennessee accountant Chris Moneymaker won $2.5 million after winning his seat through a $39 PokerStars satellite tournament--and the ensuing publicity only further sparked the already accelerated interest in the game initiated by the WPT.

The 6th commandment of poker, thou shall mix up your play. If you want to make maximum profit in a poker game you need to make people play against you when you have a strong hand as well as a marginal one.
