Poker Tip of The Day:

Taking Notes In a Tournament A very valuable skill in an online tournament is taking notes. A good player (in a multiple table tourney situation) will be watching multiple tables and taking notes on each player -- knowing he will shortly encounter that player. The advantage is he will now know for the most part exactly how he plays. His bluffs, his tells (if any) and his betting structure. Taking notes during a tournament not only keeps you alert and busy but, it keeps you from playing the hands that will bust you out of the tournament quick.

Poker Tip of The Day:

Use A Four Color Deck: This might seem basic, but, its actually quite advanced. In a recent survey, 6/10 people actually refuse (or don't know how) to change their options to 4-Color Decks. Its fairly simple and seemingly obvious, just go into the options section and click the Four Color Decks. You now have an advantage over many mistake making folks out there! Everyone who has played long enough has probably misread their cards at some point or another (usually after a long stretch), especially flushes. Using a four colored deck makes it much easier to identify flushes (and more importantly flush draw threats) and enables you to use your brain powers elsewhere.

Poker Tip of The Day:

Add fish to your Buddy List This is a pretty popular tip used by many of the good players on Party Poker. By checking your buddy list off and on, you can see when your favorite maniacs are logging on to play. Though you are unable to see exactly which table they are seated at, you can manually search through the tables to look for your target. This tip is mainly useful if you are adding maniacs to your buddy list, as maniacs tend to create table dynamics that are much better for you than say, a calling station. With a maniac at the table and five calling stations for example, there will be serious pots being generated, so you can score big if you hit your cards. At the same token however, with so many drawers in the pot, your chances for getting outdrawn are very high. Just remember that.

Poker Tip of The Day:

Show the avatars (people in chairs), but don't stereotype them: This is probably the most debatable tip I'm guessing, because if you've turned them off, you probably really don't like the avatars to begin with. And if you do like avatars, well, they're probably on already. I just want to get my two cents in about this Party Poker tip by saying that even though avatars are computer graphics, it's again human nature to easily identify faces. That means we can more easily associate a personality to a face, so it makes it easier to remember how someone is playing when we can attach a face to a playing style.

Poker Tip of The Day:

Move out of the $5 tournaments ASAP: This isn't as much a trick as it is advice. The $5 sit and go tournaments on Party Poker are cheap, but at a price. With a $1 entry fee, this amounts to a 20% rake, which is no light task to beat. If you are good enough to win enough $5 tournaments that you can beat this rake, you are good enough to be playing at the $10 tournaments. There really is no difference between the two; and in my opinion, the $10 tournaments might even be easier because you don't get filled out tables of nothing but calling stations. Try as you might and throw the book of poker at me, but there almost nothing humanly possible you can do at an entire table of maniacs or calling stations. The game makes more sense at $10 and even more sense at $30.

Poker Tip of The Day:

Buy-In More Than Necessary : There are more than a variety of reasons for buying in more than necessary at the poker table. Intimidation Factor Reserves Having "THE NUTS" and not being able to raise. Although, the minimum suggested 20times the big blind is hardly what people buy-in with to this day. I would recommend a buy-in more on the lines of at least 50times the big blind. After you start doing this - you will notice people respect your raises/play more. You will always have the opportunity to raise (not be the person who flops a boat, and is out of cash). And will always have a cash reserve after a bad beat.

A good player (in a multiple table tourney situation) will be watching multiple tables and taking notes on each player -- knowing he will shortly encounter that player. However, focus more on the players play, than taking notes itself. By this I mean watch the players play, rather than focusing on trying to keep up with typing notes about him. The advantage is he will now know for the most part exactly how he plays. His bluffs, his tells (if any) and his betting structure.
