Improve Your Preflop Opening Ranges

The PokerStars blog isn't the only blog that discusses strategy. Partypoker's Josef Rantamaki discusses in a thirteen minute video about how to improve your preflop opening ranges in the partypoker blog titled, The Ultimate Guide to Preflop Opening Ranges.

Too many poker players underestimate the importance of playing correctly preflop since small mistakes preflop can sometimes snowball into larger mistakes postflop.

The video not only includes lots of discussion, but also valuable charts of hands you should consider playing by position.

Full Tilt Poker recently ran a competition asking its players to Tweet selfies using Vitkor "Isildur1" Blom and Gus Hansen masks they provided for a free chance to play one of these pros heads-up for $5,000.

The results are in and ready to be voted on the Full Tilt Poker blog, Heads Up Showdown. Even if you do not want to vote, they are worth checking out if you want a good laugh.

No limit hold'em won by a wide margin with 49 percent of the total vote. The other two matches will be Hansen's choice of stud 8 or better and Blom's choice of no limit 2-7 triple draw.
