It's Wednesday people! This week has been going by very fast and I'm looking forward to a weekend full of EPL action, poker, and having some fun with my brother and his family who are coming into town.

As you can see above, I suffered a bad beat against @nikoskol. I was the short stack and I went all-in with AJ suited, a strong hand. @Nikoskol made the call with 69 offsuit and caught a "runner-runner" straight to knock me out in 3rd place. I'll get him back tomorrow!

We're more than halfway done with this week's Little @Mikey Poker Series, which is in its 4th week already. Here are the results so far and a look at the leaderboard. But first, let's start with a tip.

Quick Poker Tip

Playing against a conservative player can be difficult, but if you have a strategy and stick to it, you can routinely take chips from "tight" players. Players who only bet or call when they have a strong or the best hand are going to be prone to folding to large bets when they have a marginal hand. This leaves room for you to make reasonable bluffs and continuation bets, which Goldhunter1 covered nicely in a recent article.

The next time you're playing against a tight player, try testing them with a bet that is 3/4 the size of the pot or a full pot-sized bet after the flop (sizing it smaller could work too) after the flop even when you miss it. If they call, proceed carefully and be prepared to check down the rest of the hand unless you pick up a solid hand. By consistently pressing a conservative player and avoiding calling reraises when you don't have the nuts, you can outplay opponents and build your chip stack.

Results From This Week

Three tournaments, three winners. We've had a very diverse week so far in terms of who has been playing good and bad poker. It's still anyone's week to win!

Remember that the player with the most points from each week wins an additional 25 SCR bonus from me! This past week, that player was me, but I don't think I will repeat that success after failing to play Tuesday (I had a meeting and wasn't able to make the tourney).

This is literally anyone's game still for the week. We have seven players all separated by just three points. The bonus five points for playing in every tournament this week are also likely to help decide the winner. Good luck players! Make sure to play tomorrow at 10AM Central and Friday at 1PM Central to have a chance at winning SCR from each tournament and to win the 25 SCR weekly prize!
