What A Way To Win A WSOP Bracelet

Making A Great Fold.....

In my opinion being able to make a good fold is one of most difficult skills to learn in poker, even more so than making a great call.  Anyone can call down a bet from another player in the hope he is bluffing however, when you have a really strong hand it is much more difficult to fold that when your opponent has a slightly better hand.  Aces Vs Kings for example pre flop, how many of us can say that they have folded Kings before the flop when they have been re-raised by Aces!!  I know when I first started playing over 10 years ago now, I folded Kings pre-flop, I’m not quite sure what the other guy had as he never showed but these days I’m almost definitely never folding Kings pre-flop, at the end of the day even if your opponent has Aces and all the chips go in before the flop, you still have two Kings you can hit!!!

Anyway thinking about making a great fold reminded me of one of my favourite hands in poker which saw Roberto Romanello making an amazing fold, where he hits a ‘disguised’ full house and manages to fold to a bigger full house.  The beauty of this is that the bets are not even that big, and 95% of the time you are winning the hand with what he folds, take a look here..... AMAZING FOLD VIDEO

This was one of the occasions where a great fold was rewarded however, poker is not always so kind, here is another video which reflects what I was talking about before where Kings were folded pre-flop.  The decision was the correct one at the time as someone did have Aces, but poker can be a cruel game, see what I mean.....  Right or Wrong Fold

Folding hands also differs in a Cash Game Vs Tournament play, I think folding is far more important in a tournament as a good fold can keep your tournament life alive where as in cash you can always re-load either way though making a good fold is a very difficult skill to learn.

Darie Takes An Early Lead

Another great start to the fourth season of the Friday Freezeout, saw a heads up battle between the old and the new.  John “The Beast” Beadle and Daria ended up chopping most of the £2000 prize pool, with Daria eventually taking it down and landed himself at the top of the new league table.  Tania Festou has come into some good form also with her third place finish two weeks in a row, and with only 10 weeks to make it into the top ten form will be a factor in the race for the top 10.  Plenty of time for those who didn’t make it down last week, and with the prize pool over £2k every week it’s well worth winning.  See you at the tables....

PURE POKER CLUB.... We've moved again!!

When we moved our Poker room at the end of last year we wanted to be based in town however, the right place never popped up, we settled for The Earl Grey pub and although we have had some great nights down there, actually getting there has never suited all our players.  We always wanted to move back to town and from Friday 11^th May we are moving to our brand new home in “Pure Nightclub”.

We have been able to secure the whole top floor of the nightclub, where we have redecorated the whole room, and with its own bar, toilets and smoking balcony, once you are in there you don’t need to leave.  Better still we have got our 2am licence back and to celebrate we will be having a grand opening night this coming Friday.  Hopefully you can pop down and check out the new room, and hopefully win some of the free prizes on offer, further details to follow.
