Judging Your Opposition Online

Is it easy to pigeonhole the players at the most popular online sites? Toddcommish thinks so, and has a primer for who you’re facing in sit-and-goes and tournaments online:

“So, to recap the basic strategies of the online players:

Party : Any two cards should see the flop, any ace or bottom pair should go to the river, middle pair is worth a raise, top pair is worth an all-in, betting 400 into a pot with 75 chips = Power Poker, pocket aces should never lose.

PokerStars : Any sooted cards, small pockets, or face cards should see the flop, all backdoor flush draws should be played aggressively, the cognoscenti know that it’s called RiverStars because it’s fixed so that draws always hit, calling with no pair is a good idea because you need to see what the other guy had, pocket aces should never lose.

FullTilt : Always raise on the button because you have position, top pair should always raise, trips should always check-raise, draws should push all-in to try and win right there, any small pocket pair should push preflop to get the ragged faces out, show every bluff because Jesus said so, pocket aces should never lose.”

This is actually a pretty astute assessment. PartyPoker’s players are terrible and love the overbet, you can’t shake a guy off a draw at Pokerstars, and everyone at Full Tilt thinks they’re a genius. We’d add that Pacific’s players are really timid, and the poker rooms tied like an afterthought to a sports book (like Bodog’s) are full of players who have absolutely no idea what they’re doing. Now go make some money.

So, it’s about time the poker phenomenon reached the porn world. Where was this during the WSOP 2005? PokerPorn(TOTALLY NOT SAFE FOR ANY KIND OF WORKING ENVIRONMENT) is a place where you can watch a bunch of amateur girls have some fun playing strip poker and then,um, having sex with each other and,most likely, the dealer. And perhaps even chip stacks. Who knows? For those of you who need a break from those all night sessions at PartyPoker and just still want to keep cards on your mind while you, er, decompress, this is probably the site for you. Or maybe you just like watching naked girls. Either way, you win.
