GOLDEN TIGER POKER

Golden Tiger Poker was launched in October of 2002 and is still one of the smaller, but more active poker rooms on the ‘net.

Since launch, Golden Tiger Poker has delivered over 500,000 hands to their customers, primarily for Texas Hold’em, but also 5 and 7 Card Stud Poker. The advantages and disadvantages of a “smaller” poker room are just two sides of the same coin: Fewer people make it a more friendly atmosphere, since you keep seeing the same folks whenever you play, but fewer people usually means it’s harder to find a game other than Texas Hold’em during non-peak hours.

Bonuses / Promotions

First-time depositors – receive 50% bonus up to $200

Software / Graphics

The interface and the “play” of Golden Tiger is consistent, the number of seats at a table varies from 2 for 1 on 1 Hold’em, to 8 seats for 5 and 7 card stud and 10 players to each Texas/Omaha Hold’em, tables. The lobby allows you to view open tables, by the type of game. Each game list allows you to view the stakes for the game, the number of people playing and when relevant and the number of people waiting to play. You’ll be able to choose the betting limits you’re comfortable with. Texas Hold’em stakes range from $.50/$1 to as much as a $50/$100 table. Once you’re in there, you’ll see a table and chairs – but only names for players, not Avatars (people) like at most poker rooms. Right click a player’s name for more info on them and the ability to keep notes.

Games

All the games are great if you like that particular version of poker. Texas Hold’em is typically the most popular variation, with 7 Card Stud following closely behind.

Payments / Cashouts / Security

Golden Tiger also has a $250 prize for highest Texas Hold’em hand every day!

The staff are friendly and helpful and can usually answer any questions you have on the spot but if you do come up with something they can’t answer immediately, they promise to get back to you within 24 hours of your call.

Quite often you will hear players talk about the need to create an image in a poker game. While I am not going to talk about whether or not that is a good thing or a bad thing, I am going to point out a few facts. Firstly you have to factor in where you are playing. If you are playing online then making plays to throw your opponents off the scent may not be as necessary as you think.

Firstly, the turnover of players in your games will be greater than it would be in a live game for the simple reason being that it is all to easy to join and leave games when you are in the comfort of your own home. So your hard work of trying to create an image could be all for nothing when your entire table has changed within the space of forty five minutes.

But even if you are playing live then you need to consider the fact that the way that the cards fall naturally may present you with an image. Let us say that you have sat down in a live game and your first three hands are AA, AK, AQs and JJ. You choose to raise and re-raise with all of these hands. Now what do you think the other players will be thinking if you haven’t shown down any of these hands?

They will be thinking that here is a player who has sat down with the intention of bullying the table. If they are thinking this then this may be not a good time to launch a bluff on hand number five if the opportunity arises or even for the next couple of orbits. Your opponents will likely call you with lighter hands than they normally would or even bluff raise you.

Remember, they don’t know that you had four premium hands on the spin. Your image can build in numerous ways. If you have been playing nothing but solid poker and have been dealt a series of poor hands, your constant folding will not have gone unnoticed.

But another reason as to why image plays don’t work as well online is to do with the fact that your opponents will be often using software that will classify you anyway so they will know what type of player you are. Software like Poker Office and others of their kind should tell your opponents everything about you so your attempts may just be in vain. Of course, this does open up a whole new interesting dynamic.

If you can get access to data on how you have played in the past and you are also aware that your opponents may have this data on you then you can look to deviate your game by exploiting what you know that your opponents know about you.

As an add on to what I discussed in the previous articles on limit play, here I am going to be looking at some actual situations so you can see how certain concepts and ideas work. Carrying on with the subject of early position in full ring games, the types of hand that many people play badly are Broadway hands.

These are any hand that has two high cards or an ace with a high card. The problem with many of these hands is that they are all too likely dominated in certain situations. For instance a K-J would be dominated against AA,KK,QQ,JJ, AK, AJ and KQ. You would be in a situation where you would have to hit the flop twice to overtake the hand that you are up against.

So when someone raises from early position then you are really hoping that they are raising with AQ or maybe TT. Although as you progress as a poker player then you will be able to identify situations where dominated hands can be playable.

Let us look at one such situation, you have the Jd-10d in early position in a $1-$2 limit hold’em full ring game. You know that this hand is dominated by a large number of hands that could raise. But you have been sat in this game for quite some time and the number of raises have been limited.

No one has been raising limpers and the game has been very loose and passive. In this situation then you could limp in and probably play the hand profitably. It has good implied odds in multi-way pots and the hand plays well in those situations.

But you cannot overvalue this hand as it will play badly in many situations. However with this hand then you can even do quite well against a raise as well, let me explain. Let us say that you limped in with a suited J-10 because the game conditions were perfect. However on this one particular hand you were surprised to see it get folded around to the button who raised.

In this instance then the button could be raising on a far wider range of hands and be looking to isolate against the limper which is you. Depending on the player on the button then their hand could be very well comparable to yours and may often be inferior like with hands like J-9 or even 10-9.

Many players abuse their position on the button and think that it gives them the licence to basically do whatever they want and these are precisely the types of players who you would like to attack your limps.

It is a well known fact that there can only be one winner of a poker tournament. Even if the players themselves do some kind of a deal then there can still only be one winner. But  every single player irrespective of skill or experience understands this very simple fact. They also understand just how few hands a player gets in an average online poker tournament in which to try and accumulate chips.

But what the vast majority of players do not do is play in such a way as to try and amass as big a stack as they possibly can as quickly as they can. To win a poker tournament you need two factors working in your favor. You need the ability and the know how to be able to take advantage of situations when they arise and you also need to get lucky.

The concept of luck is massive in tournament poker and is the one deciding factor in who wins any one particular tournament. But novice tournament players simply wait for good hands to come their way and hope that they get them in enough quantity. This is an illusion as it never happens or it happens so rarely as to not be worth talking about.

So if you don’t get enough quality hands to win poker tournaments then how can you possibly win one of them? The answer is that you must be constantly looking for ways to pick up easy pots. One such play is the pick up play and here is an example. You are in the big blind with the Q-9 although actually the hand is of little importance in this situation.

Three players limp in for 400 and the small blind completes so there is 2000 in chips in the pot. Each player has a stack of 10,000 so each player can afford to pass. You make a big re-raise to 3000 and everyone folds. Your stack increases by 20% from 10,000 to 12,000 and all because you had the nerve to make a move at the right time when all your opponents appeared weak.

Your opponents obviously did not want to play a big pot and were merely trying to see a cheap flop with speculative hands. Do not be afraid to make plays like these and have them go wrong because at the end of the day, you have to amass all of the chips in play to win the tournament anyway.

Following on from the last article, I would like to discuss how to play against raises when you are in early position in a full-ring game. Now obviously if you are in early position then there are not many players to be heard from to your right. There will be only two players at most and probably only one player. If you have more than two players to your right then you are not in early position at all but middle position.

There can be subtle differences between certain seats and also depending on the actual game dynamics as well. Some positions in certain types of games play more like others, for example late position in a loose aggressive game could be a far more dangerous place to be than middle position in another game that was far more passive in nature.

But whenever there has been a raise from another player in early position and you are in early position yourself then you seriously need to respect this raise. Firstly your opponent is out of position and they also know that they are out of position as well but yet they have still made the raise.

Also what you have to remember is that the average mentality of a full-ring game player differs greatly to that of a six max or heads up player. When a player who has the option to choose any game or table that they wish in a large online card room chooses a full-ring game table over a six handed one, then this indicates something about not only their attitude to risk but also with regards to the pace at which they want to play poker as well.

So when a player raises in the UTG (under the gun) or the UTG+1 seats then the number of hands that you will play will be small as you already know the relative strength of their hand. I would definitely re-raise wit AA-QQ. Some other types of hand can be played more flexibly. You can call with hands like JJ, TT and AKs, AK or you could also re-raise with them.

Much depends on the actual game dynamic as well and if raises are getting called then you can possibly call with lower pocket pairs like 99 through 77. But hands like AQ and AJ needed to be played carefully as they are often dominated in this position. An AQs should definitely be played but AJ is a far weaker hand as is KQ. So just keep in mind what your opponents are raising with in early position at this form of poker.
