No matter how you slice it, slots are a game
of chance. Anyone claiming to have a bullet-proof formula or winning system is trying to
sell you something that’s both a waste of

Limit Hold ’em - Playing from the Big BlindDeveloping good hand selection skills in the big blind is slightly more complicated then doing so from the small blind. The ‘if you would play it from the button you should play it here’ rule doesn’t apply, since this rule would have you folding far too many hands. When you’re playing from the big blind your pot odds are usually more favorable then they are from the small blind, so folding too many hands when the pot has been raised can be a real mistake. On the other hand it’s very easy to get carried away and start playing more hands than is prudent 5 Oct 2007, 12:00 AM
