100 Poker Sites You Should Check Out

Kind of cheating, no?

Well another blog took the idea of listing 100 poker sites which are worth checking out... have not had the time to look through them all (well, only 10 or so to be honest), but it does look like a very good list and so worth a poker frog blog link-up!

Fusion Poker's Top 100 Poker Sites

Wonder if the poker frog will make next year's list?!?

Link #4 - Firing The Second Barrel

Today's link is to an article by the poker writing legend Ed Miller... this one is on a tricky topic and one that, to be honest, I have more than a little trouble with myself - when to fire that all-important 2nd barrel in No-Limit Holdem.

I believe that with today's 'fashion' for floating that this is more important than ever. For those readers who enjoy a variety of poker articles, news, pro-blogs and tools - Cardplayer is actually an excellent place to check out (without sounding too much like an advertisment please Frog...).

Anyway, here is the link: When To Fire That 2nd Barrel

More outbound links soon!

Link #3 - First Blog Link... The Gnome!

First blog link today... to the excellent high-stakes cash game blogger known as the Surley Poker Gnome. Not scared to give opinions and always packed with excellent insights into cash game strategy and the thought processes behind poker... what you will really notice about the Gnome is that the quality of the writing is excellent too. A tripple whammy!!

Anyway, plan on having a proper blogroll here eventually - but need to become established a little more before setting this up. In the meantime enjoy the surliness of the gnome!!

By the way, if you see a good article / blog or even an interesting forum thread that would be worth sharing here then please let me know via comment - thanks!

More outwards links soon!

Link #2 - Tricky Implied Odds Situations

Well, we all know that implied-odds are the core of no-limit holdem (well, at least I hope we do!!). This link is to an article at the excellent (if a little mathematical) 2+2 monthly magazine. Specifically this one looks at implied-odds when there are short-stacks in the hand, a common situation at the tables - especially in tournaments.

I have a feeling that these articles will disappear after 3 months (some wierd authors rights thing that they have at 2+2) so enjoy this one while you can.

First Link! Expectation In Poker Tournaments

Drumroll please... it is time for the Frog's first link!

This article is at Pocket 5's and looks at expectation in poker tournaments. Sure, we all like to win 'em - but coming back down to earth how exactly do you approach assessing the value of a tournament to you? What is tournament A worth (on average) when compared to tournament B.

Interesting article really, especially for those who like to take poker above and beyond the 'strictly for fun' ideology.
