In multi-way pots in deep stacked tournaments, many players drool at the prospect of having flush and straight draws to shoot for when given the chance to tag one of many players for a stack. But, when in these multi-way pots with non nut draws, like A7 on a 456 board or 45s on a 210Jss board, just how much value do these drawing hands actually have? Shockingly, the answer is pretty simple; not as much as youd expect.

There are a few reasons for each of the situations, and well start with the bare straight draw board. Lets assumeyoure playing at Bodog Poker (make sure to get a referral number for Bodog Poker if youre not signed up yet) and you have three other opponents in the hand with you, and theres a bet and a call, with you to act and a player (the preflop raiser) behind. If you call here, the original opener can pop it, pricing you out of your draw, which is already a bad result. But, what happens if you hit your straight? The board will read either 3456 or 4568, both boards making it blatantly obvious that one of the four of you made your straight. But, would hands like 97s or 87 have called a raise and/or bet/called this flop? You better believe it. That makes the actual value of your draw very little in comparison to the cost of playing the hand through. You may have the best hand if you do hit, but you cant expect to make very much with the hand, and theres a fair chance that someone either has a straight already or will make a better straight on you if you do call. This is one of those times I simply let the hand go.

The flush draw example is a bit trickier to go through, but well approach it with a slightly different scenario; preflop raiser has led out, with you to call and two players to act behind you. On a J102ss board, the players involved in the hand can see how dangerous the board is initially, with KQ, Q9, 89, any two spades, and combo draws all out there and waiting to draw. With two players to act behind you, if theyve made any reasonable hand at all on this flop, theyre probably going to raise, and if they do, its going to be an expensive raise, hoping to limit the players drawing at them. This makes it less enticing to call. Also, if you do make your flush on the turn, your hand is very vulnerable; 8 cards can come on the river to put a crippling four flush on the board, and assuming your flush card doesnt pair the board, another 12 cards can come on the river to put a potential full house on board.

This means that, if you make on the turn, you have to be willing to protect your hand with a very large bet, which also means if someone else was in there with a flush draw, youre going to be giving them your stack; its a high risk, moderate reward scenario, in case someone does elect to call off with something like AsJ or a set, but if they call with a bigger flush, youre dead. This relies more on player feel than anything else; if your opponents play straightforwardly, call and evaluate after your opponents act and you get your option on the turn, if the flush does make.

The much anticipated rematch between Daniel Negrenau and Viktor Blom “isildur1″ in PokerStars superstar cards played on Sunday, but not as expected.

Last weekend, Negreanu had fallen $ 150.000 Blom in the first half of the match. Daniel looked to avenge the loss and spent a week practicing at PokerStars.

At an early stage, things looked much like they did in last week’s challenge. Isildur1 jumped out, early lead and the first hand that lead 855 ranged between $ 15 k and $ 50 k.

That steadily grew until isildur1 was more than $ 110.000 and looked again to Daniel stack.

Around 1500 the tide began to turn the hands back to favouring Negreanu.

In 151 hands after Negreanu withdrew over $ 102 000 in pots, to cut the lead to just $ Isildur1 49.500. He further reduced this just $ 7800 before Blom pulled back ahead of the $ 20 000.

Then left arm around 348 in the match, Negreanu led for the first time in the match. He managed to hold onto the lead for the remainder of the match.

With 14 hands left Negreanu has $ 8800 and could put down his path to an easy victory. Not one to easily route, Negreanu was playing at the end and wound up filling his winnings.

In the hands of closure as Pocket Queens and Pocket ACEs held against Blom give Daniel a final total of $ 500 per day 26.

While this challenge goes down as Blom finished two matches against Negreanu by $ 123.500. The loss against Negreanu officially makes Blom 5-2 in problem disassembling superstar. His only other loss came against online poker icon Isaac Haxton.

In accordance with the statement made at the end of the match the next superstar showdown call will kick off next Sunday, will take on Scott Isildur1 “urnotindanger” Palmer.

The next match will also be divided into two parts with two players, playing a total of 5000 hands.

If there is one of the many sports betting tips out there that can turn the loss-making sports made a profitable one, he is betting on the underdog home team. In almost any sport you are required to have a home team which continually under performs seemingly get little respect from books and retrieving rows that seem almost stupid; Think like a 14-point underdogs at home in college basketball and so on.

These commands typically if any success at all during the season, they would be more at home, inspired by their home fans cheering them and people pay wages or keep their scholarships, intact, watching their every move.

This causes the hosts are much more effective, especially in close games. Find rows that give underdog hosts a large deficit could be a great bet in disguise; If the game is even remotely close to reducing the minutes of the game, the hosts will have the crowd support and push the end of the game, they will most likely retain common in home games. The MLB predictions go, you can do worse than always choose favorite hometown.

In football, making 7 + point extends perfect pounce on, if you are sure the home team has even deleted a chance to win the game.

Also be on the lookout for rivalry game, where the hosts is weak; This gives them even more incentives to keep close by, in an attempt to keep from established and bona fide in the event of a fountain that can completely demoralize the team underdog. Watch home underdogs and make smart bid for them and you’ll have the option of extra profit for your bets.

Full Tilt Poker, one of the largest online poker rooms in the world, made several updates to their software in the past quarter. The company strives to alleviate many of the concerns of its members. They also took into account and attempted to perform some of the requests of its clients. The new software there is a button to Auto Add-on for rebuy. Quickly add any button “bet” was added also, specially for poker players.

One of the most requested features was the Auto button on the add-in. Players got to taste it when it was presented during the rebuy tournament in 2009. Players took so much that they asked for Full Tilt Poker to bring it back full time. Full Tilt took a little over a year to do it, but they finally got around to it. Now many tables players can more easily add after the rebuy hour has passed.

Auto default add-in now can be found in the options menu. Having it in one place makes it far easier to find up to tournaments. In the past, players are compelled to look for a button prior to the tournament. This change makes it easier for players to re-buy-ins during the period when they want. Late registrants the ability to complete their Add-ons, and until the end of the rebuy period.

Another major change in software companies for registration. People who are late to register now can be seen immediately even if they are moved to the big blind. The case until they are between the blinds.

Additional changes made in connection with rule must wait for big blind. It’s all together was lifted during Super Turbo tournaments. Consequently, players may not be able to view their diving justice, while they wait to hand and players leave the tournament. To view all changes and updates in Full Tilt Poker, visit their Web site.

It will be very interesting to see how the site is configured for all changes. However, most accounts, favorably discusses changes.
