Watch Annie Duke's Advanced Texas Hold 'Em Secrets - How to Beat the Big Boys (Masters of Poker)

That focus on high-level strategy definitely makes How to Beat the Big Boys stand out from more ordinary poker instructional programs. Extras A "Tips" section, about nine minutes long, has Duke providing information on how to manage your hand; it looks just like part of the main program that was cut out. The program's producers have done a bit to supplement her lecture by providing graphic overlays with bullet points of key concepts, but it's still fairly stripped-down. If a player can lose their money, it is still gambling. It teaches players' methodologies and strategies they can use to appropriately analyze players and act accordingly.

Annie Dukes Advanced Texas Holdem Secrets

As she puts it, the idea here is to help good players become great ones, so she assumes that you're already a good, winning player to start with. I've often noticed that so-called "advanced" instructional programs are frequently just the basics trying to puff themselves and the viewer up, but in this case it's completely correct: That focus on high-level strategy definitely makes How to Beat the Big Boys stand out from more ordinary poker instructional programs.

Duke spends a lot of time on the all-important subject of "tells": One way that she approaches this is to use profiling techniques adopted from the FBI; after all, bluffing is a form of lying, so it's very helpful to be able to identify when the person across the table is trying to fake you out. Other aspects of strategy that Duke covers include how to make decisions about betting and calculating pot odds. It's in these areas that the advanced nature of the program is clearest, as she goes into the subtleties of what you should do, or avoid doing, based on how likely you are to get the cards you want later on.

This kind of material will make a lot of sense, and be quite helpful, if you already have a solid grounding in poker. The overall content is quite solid and worthwhile for the serious player either competitive or serious recreational player , with a substantial hour and forty-five minutes of running time.

It's definitely not as good a program as it could be, though. Annie Duke does the program as more or less an informal lecture: On the one hand, this makes the material less intimidating Duke's presentation is so unscripted that she often repeats herself, which can get a bit grating; she also peppers her speech with "you know," which is a conversational glitch that would have been easy enough to iron out or at least reduce!

He would take the material, and with his throbbing cock in one hand, wank, till he came. In Washington, D. ", she giggled, as she led him out of the disco. had sex for more than three hours in a single session of sex. It gave him much pleasure.

It will blow you away I was blown away by the amount and specific kind of material here. Her section on reading and profiling players is phenomenal, beyond anything I have read or seen elsewhere. The amount of information and the detail of this section is by itself worth much more than the cost of the DVD. I would venture to say there will be a huge buzz in the poker world when word gets out of what is in this DVD.

The pros are sure to be upset that she has given away trade secrets. If there are any minuses they are very small. Several times she jumps back and forth between limit and no limit holdem causing mild confusion but once you've watched it the second or third time you don't even notice. The only thing that really bothered me at all was her statement that poker is not gambling but investing.

That may be true for professionals but the average player does not yet play or think at that level so a statement like that is a little misguided in my opinion. If a player can lose their money, it is still gambling. She reveals so much more advanced material than any of the other DVDs that I have bought that purely from a value standpoint it is worth much more than any of the other DVDs.

Despite my pet peeves I still give it 5 stars; it is so far beyond my expectations of both material and price. This is by far the "single" best poker product book or video I've bought this year. I think the producers don't realize the value here and could easily have asked for twice as much money. Get it as soon as possible.

I promise you will love it. The DVD is good and she does tell some things that you probably haven't heard anywhere else. I am speaking specifically about her ideas she got from her conversations with the FBI and her tips on how to deal with a maniac at the table. I really thought those two areas were exceptional. It always seems like common sense after you hear it, but she really does clear a lot of things up and does a good job of providing a lot of information.

Full house, kings full of fours Alice 8-high straight In this case, Ted's full house is the best hand, with Carol in second, Alice in third and Bob last. Sample hand[ edit ] The blinds for this example hand Here is a sample game involving four players.

The players' individual hands will not be revealed until the showdown, to give a better sense of what happens during play: Alice is the dealer. Alice deals two hole cards face down to each player, beginning with Bob and ending with herself. Ted must act first, being the first player after the big blind.

Carol's blind is "live" see blind , so there is the option to raise here, but Carol checks instead, ending the first betting round. On this round, as on all subsequent rounds, the player on the dealer's left begins the betting. Alice now burns another card and deals the turn card face up. Bob checks, Carol checks, and Alice checks; the turn has been checked around.

Kickers and ties[ edit ] Because of the presence of community cards in Texas hold 'em, different players' hands can often run very close in value. As a result, it is common for kickers to be used to determine the winning hand and also for two hands or maybe more to tie. A kicker is a card which is part of the five-card poker hand, but is not used in determining a hand's rank.

The following situation illustrates the importance of breaking ties with kickers and card ranks, as well as the use of the five-card rule. After the turn, the board and players' hole cards are as follows.
