Doyle Brunson

Doyle Brunson is capable of laying down QQ on a 732 rainbow flop.

Please remember that you are not Doyle Brunson and promise yourself right now you will never try this while playing STACKED.

Yeah, yeah, AJ Styles winning the X division belt last night on TNA was amazing, but not as cool as dominating STACKED like these guys did:

Great hands pre-flop don't always hold up. That's the way this game goes.

Negreanu Article
07:50 PST | Brandon Hammonds |
Do you have only one standard play when you're dealt AA? Perhaps you should consult Daniel Negreanu.
Yet, if you never limp in with aces, you might as well put a target on your forehead whenever you do limp into a pot. It will become apparent to your opponents that when you limp in before the flop, you probably don�t have a big pair. That�s revealing too much information. You�d be playing too predictably.

It's here, but we all know you're not going to read 30+ articles, so here are the best five, starting with #1:

1- Daniel Negreanu's "Vs. Beginners"
06:39 PST | Barron Vangor Toth |
How do you play against beginner players? STACKED's own Daniel Negreanu teaches you.

2- Michael Friedman's "Daniel Negreanu"
06:38 PST | Barron Vangor Toth |
He talks about who will be the next protege for STACKED's own Kid Poker.

3- Phil Hellmuth's "Making History"
06:36 PST | Barron Vangor Toth |
Phil Hellmuth tells us how amazing he is to have reached ten bracelets.

4- Barry Tanenbaum's "Raise Pre-flop"
06:35 PST | Barron Vangor Toth |
Next time you're opening the hand at STACKED, just raise it up.

5- Matt Matros' "Readers' Hands"
06:33 PST | Barron Vangor Toth |
These are decisions you may have to make at a STACKED table one day, so pay attention.

Trust Daniel when he tells you that, "Pros don't bluff as much as you think."

Mike Caro
09:21 PST | Brandon Hammonds |
There's always time to read a Mike Caro interview.
I agree that, after 30 years of denial, many top pros are grudgingly acknowledging that poker psychology is more important than previously believed.

05:46 PST | Barron Vangor Toth |
I've said this before but I'll say it again: stick with STACKED. As I learned the hard way at Foxwoods recently, the truth about live poker isn't always terrific. Learn from my mistakes, stay home, and just play STACKED.

Sometimes Poker Can Be Depressing
06:27 PST | Barron Vangor Toth |
Just the other night I lost multiple thousands of dollars on a hand where I had better than a 99% chance of winning it after the flop. I learned two things: (a) I should ONLY play STACKED, where I won't almost literally lose my shirt and (b) I should avoid getting depressed about it, as that is a common by-product of the bad beat.

Youthful Aggression In The Poker World
