| Posted: 22 Dec 2010 06:50 AM PST If you made all of your raise sizes the same then no one would ever be able to pick up a bet sizing tell from that information alone. This is a good example of balancing your play. There are lots of other examples that can be used by those accessing the betfair welcome bonus to explain the concept of balancing your play. In the end they all mean the same thing. Balancing your play is a strategy one will use to prevent their game from being exploited by a skilled opponent. The key word in the sentence above is skilled. There is absolutely no need for Stevie Wonder's wife to wear a very expensive and beautiful looking dress if the only reason she has worn it is to please Stevie Wonder. The same can be true in the game of poker. Those studying the betfair poker tips will agree that balancing your game is extremely important when you are playing in tough games against skilled opponents. It is so important that balancing your game should be part of the poker foundation of every player on the planet. But to draw on the Stevie Wonder analogy, what is the point of balancing your game if you are playing in a game where everyone is blind? The definition of blind being that no one is taking any notice. Sometimes you can out think yourself and over estimate the skill level of your opponents. Sometimes you find yourself in a game so juicy that balance goes out of the window. In these games it makes absolute sense to bet pot each and every street with the nuts because your opponent will call every time. It makes sense to make your three-bets 6 times the initial raise because you know your opponent will call. Only be balanced when you need to be. Being wonky is often fine too.  |
| Patriots obvious Super Bowl favourites, Falcons overlooked Posted: 22 Dec 2010 02:59 AM PST It seems the New England Patriots are most people's favourites to win the Super Bowl this year, and you can't really argue given the impressive performances they have put on in recent weeks. In a poll of 3,300 NFL fans some 34 per cent have stated they think the Patriots, who do boast the best record in football this season, will win the Super Bowl 2011 and you would be hard to bet against it. They boast an excellent record and have winnable games remaining, meaning they have a chance to finish with a 14-2 record and secure home field advantage for the Super Bowl play-offs. It has been their success at running with the ball that has really impressed fans, with Danny Woodhead and Ben Green-Ellis excelling with their pace and also, when needed, their ability to catch the ball. If this continues it can only boost their Super Bowl 2011 odds. While it is no shock that people fancy the Patriots so much, fans of the Atlanta Falcons could question why only 9 per cent think their team can win the Super Bowl, especially considering they share the best record in the league with the Patriots. Anyone looking to bet on Superbowl action may want to bear this in mind. Some 11 per cent of the fans thought the New Orleans Saints can repeat their Super Bowl success of 2010, while 10 per cent fancy the Pittsburgh Steelers. The same percentage that fancies the Falcons also picked the New York Giants, Chicago Bears and Baltimore Ravens for Super Bowl success.  |
