The WSOP is right around the corner! You can expect lots of educational content from me to help you prepare for the WSOP (or any major tournament series) over the next month or so. For those who do not know, I managed to cash in the 2014 WSOP $10,000 buy-in Main Event for $22,678. I somehow had the chip lead early in day one but couldn’t hold onto it for seven more days. Bad beat! …

Testing PokerSnowie
Now that I have finished my work on the book portion of Excelling at No-Limit Hold’em, I have a little free time. Instead of going out and partying, I am going to sit in my room and study poker. I have heard great things about PokerSnowie, a training program designed to help you learn to play fundamentally sound poker by testing you against its robust poker bots and I wanted to give it a try. I decided to record my first session for you to watch. Within my 30 minutes of play, I found two somewhat significant leaks, which I discuss in the video. …

The Practice
Leading professional Jonathan Little excels live No-Limit cash game play. In this book he teaches readers how to master the intricacies of this fascinating game.
Jonathan’s first book in this series, Jonathan Little on Live no-Limit Cash Games, Volume 1:The Theory outlined how the modern professional plays the game. Now Jonathan has produced a second volume, allowing players to test their understanding of the nuances of playing NL live.

No-Limit play is all about successfully adapting your strategy based on:
- The pre-flop action
- Whether you are the aggressor
- Whether you are in position
- The relative stack sizes at the table
Testing yourself by going through the examples in this book will enable you to make these adaptations instinctive.

Let’s NOT make a deal
This blog post is small part of my extensive chapter on Final Table play from my upcoming book, Excelling at No Limit Hold’em. I hope you enjoy it.
Whenever only a few players remain at a final table, it is not uncommon for someone to propose a deal. When a deal is made, players usually get some amount of cash based on their current chip stacks. In general, making a deal is not a good idea unless you are getting significantly more money than you should, based on an ICM chop. …
