In online poker terminology, a tight aggressive player is known as a “TAG.” These players almost always make strong showings a the table because of their playing style. A TAG player adheres to strict discipline about what hands to play and then commits to those hands wholeheartedly.

If you want to adopt a TAG approach for your game follow the guidelines below. These characteristics are common to TAG players and you should be able to spot them at the online poker table because they tend to exhibit these tendencies:

* Lots of pre-flop folding. It is not unusual for a TAG to sit through several orbits of play and never enter a pot. They stick to their own discipline about only entering pots with certain hand combinations from specific positions.

* When a TAG player enters a pot, it is typically with a raise. They rarely limp into pots or call bets on ensuing rounds. Once they choose to play a hand, they bet it aggressively.

* TAG players know the value of folding. They recognize when a hand is beat, and do not chase after pots with questionable hands.

* Even though they have strict starting hand ranges, any worthy online poker player is going to attempt to bluff sometimes. TAG players will seldom engage in naked bluffing with nothing, but are more apt to pursue a semi-bluff when on a good draw to many outs.

How to Call with Ace High By B. Butler So many hands in poker are the case of made hand versus a draw. More often than not, the “made poker hand” will be a high pair or top pair, versus a small hand trying to catch up by making a straight, flush, or a better two pair by hitting their kicker, or a higher pair, etc. River betting, then, is often a case of the missed poker online hand trying to bluff out the bigger hand when they have missed their draw. If the made hand feels confident enough that his hand has held up, he will stay in. Because more often than not hands will miss their draws, more often hands that thought they might have gotten caught up with can turn out to be good. When a straight draw misses, even ace high is good against the two blank cards. For this reason, when the board reads with an early draw scenario that fails to pan out (the flush or straight does not complete), calling down a looser player with ace high can be the right move, especially when you just smell that bluff in the water. Much of this depending on betting patterns and opponents’ tendencies, but if you can learn to leave the door open to “made hands” that aren’t seemly, you will give yourself more chances to win occasional pots.

Getting Free Cards Every poker online player has to pay a blind or ante to keep their cards and see a flop. However, after the flop, it’s possible to see free cards - which is a good situation for any player on a draw. Getting a free card seems easy - simply check. And it is easy as that. There are poker online players who will always bet, no matter what and not allow free cards. This attitude can be a losing behavior though because these poker online players will sometimes run into a monster hand that is being slow played. The monster is letting another player do the betting and masking the monster hand. Checking is the way to avoid the check-raise tactic. A player who has raised pre-flop, then checks may have missed or may simply be hiding hand strength to manipulate another player into taking the initiative to raise. When you are on a draw and have the opportunity to check and get a free card, it is sometimes your best option for avoiding traps. If your draw materializes, then your strong could be favored to win. Remember, every chip saved is a chip that can be bet later. Don’t raise every time just to be an aggressive player when others have checked in front of you. Recognize that getting a free card is sometimes an advantage for you, and that your check could be thwarting any check-raise attempt.

Poker players hear a lot of talk about how much it pays to act in position. There is a certain value inherent in being able to know what your opponent will do with his hand before you have to at on yours that endows you with the chance to make a better informed decision.

This said, though, there are other times when having the chance to act first can actually work in your favor. In particularly aggressive circumstances, it is often the poker player who acts first, or bluffs first, who will get to win the pot.

In some kinds of games, and for certain types of players, the chance to fire first is more valuable than waiting in line. Players like Gus Hansen just love firing into the field to see what comes back, and so when he is first to act it often works in his favor. Making feeler bets and opening your action some can make the under the gun position worth even more.

If this isn’t your style, though, you’ll likely want to stick to the position play, as just as quickly this kind of move can get you reraised, and will turn into you losing the pot. Remember this when you play poker online.

Sit and go tournaments are available all over online poker. There seems to be a new one starting every minute, so the temptation is high to jump on a game without thinking. Before you sit down on that digital seat, however, you should take a few minutes to consider the sit and go that is right for your budget.

You need to calculate your bankroll for a sit and go tournament differently than a standard poker online tournament. This goes back to the fact that sit and go tournaments are designed to be rapidly progressing games. The blinds go up every couple of hands. If you don’t budget for the fact that the blinds change, you can end up out of chips before you know it. This is particularly hard for players from standard tournaments to understand. Their blinds do not change, so they often will budget incorrectly for a sit and go.

The best way to figure out the sit and go that is right for you is to look at your bankroll first. Figure out the amount that you are willing to spend, and then divide that by twenty. The amount you get after the calculation is the buy in you should play at. If you play at anything higher, you are running an unnecessary financial poker risk.
