Affiliate Program Review
Cake Poker is one of the most unique programs for both affiliates and players. The poker room launched in mid 2006 and took a distinct approach allowing players to contribute feedback as to what they would like to see within the room. Over the course of their start up year, the company used this feedback and built a room that offers something above the fold in terms of bonuses and incentives, which is why you will find this room converts well especially among US players.
Since their official release, Cake Poker is fast becoming one of the leaders in the industry for player retention and much of this can be attributed to their incentive driven program. The Cake Network provides players with a great sign up bonus along with player reward programs that reward players not only in comp points but by playing real money games. They feature an in house gift shop, seats to live events and a growing tournament schedule.
The Cake Network is all about rewards for both players and affiliates. This was seen recently when the company sent out real cakes to players to thank them for playing in the poker room along with gifts such as iPods for affiliates during the holiday season. Currently they are running a great promotion where one affiliate will win an all expense paid trip to the Formula 1 Nascar race. This trip includes seats for two and all you need to do is increase your NGR over the course of three months. The contest is open from February 1st – April 30th and it’s available for all affiliates. The contest is based on your performance so you are only competing with yourself allowing even the newest affiliate a chance to win the trip.
In addition to this, Cake Poker and Poker Affiliate Programs are offering an incredible promotion. One lucky affiliate will win a once in a life time trip to the Playboy Mansion to play in the Playboy Celebrity Poker tournament and party with the celebrities and of course Hugh Hefner and his girls. To enter this contest you will need to be a new Cake Poker affiliate and send five depositing players between now and May 17th to qualify. You will then be awarded an entry ticket to an exclusive freeroll where they will be giving away this amazing trip.
Once you join the Cake team you will be provided with a host of marketing tools to help increase your conversions. All of these items can be found in the affiliate manager and include such things as a variety in banners, text links, offline tools and the ability to create your own tournaments for your players. The backend is very detailed and one of the better designed programs. Each of the reports generated is available with full details of your players, starting with a summary which shows you your signups and click through rates for the month including any monies earned. You will know exactly when your players signed up, under what username, deposits, withdrawals, and of course any and all bonuses that may have been cleared by that player. You will also receive the support from dedicated Affiliate Managers such as Shenaz, who is the affiliate manager for PAP. She has plenty of experience within the industry and is well known for working withaffiliates hands on.

No-Limit Poker
No-limit poker (NL) involves the most strategy of all the betting structures. It is also a very fun game, although it is very intense. In each hand you could potentially win or lose your entire stack. There is no limit to the maximum bet you can make in any betting round. However, there is a minimum bet amount, which is equal to the big blind.
For example, in a $1-$2 no-limit game, the small blind posts $1 and the big blind posts $2. All players must call or raise the big blind ($2) or fold.
Let’s suppose another player bets $200, but you only have $80 at the table? You can go all-in on your $80. If you win the hand, you get only $80 from your opponent. If two other players bet $200, and you only have $80, then you would win $80 from each of them ($160 total). Then the winner between the two of them would get the remaining money (the sidepot).

Winning a Tournament
Recently I played a tournament that started with twelve tables of players. An incident occurred when there were eight tables left that made me realize how tournaments offer up mental “tricks” or false promised that distract most players from the job at hand: winning. More precisely the goal that should be in your mind as a player is maximizing your own financial expectation.
I played an Omaha High Low hand against two opponents. We were playing 150/300. The first player limped. I raised with AQ42. The big blind called. The original limper made it three bets. I looked over and saw he had 100 in chips left. Since 100 is more than half I bet I knew I could raise him on the flop and make it more difficult for the big blind to call, so I didn’t cap the betting pre-flop. At the same time I was quite sure the limper did not have AAxx or even another large pair since he limped preflop (and was not one of those weak players who limps with everything) .
The flop came about as bad as it could for my hand: JJ9. The limper bet all-in, and I raised to 250. The big blind showed T8 (presumably also holding and ace and an unknown card) and folded.
FullTiltPoker.com Full Tilt Poker
The limper turned over AK73, a better hand than I expected, but still that didn’t matter. My principal goal was to get the big blind out of the hand. When the big blind player (a very experienced player) saw my hand he commented that I had just made the strangest play he had ever seen me make. I was surprised by that since I would have thought my play to isolate against an all-in player is pretty straightforward. But then he went on to say: “I thought you knew the object here is to eliminate players.”
I was flabbergasted so much that my mouth moved faster than my brain and I proceeded to “teach” at the table. I said, “That sure isn’t my object. My object is to win the tournament!” As I mention above, the real object is to maximize your financial expectation, but at this point, with 8 of 13 tables still in action and me holding average chips, my focus is simply on winning.
With 18 being paid, going from 72 to 71 players was just about the last thing on my mind. I was thinking about how we started with 2000 in chips, how 1/3 of the players were out, how an average stack was 3000, how I started the hand with 2800, and how there was 1425 in this pot before the flop (450×3, plus a 75 small blind). Then I was also thinking about how I wanted to only have to beat one player instead of two to win this pot, and how I could probably do that by raising the limper’s 100 all-in bet. After the limper went all-in there was 1525 in the pot. I was gleefully happy to be able to play against him for only 100, getting better than 15-1 on my money for an amount of chips equal to about 72% of my current stack (2800-550=2250 while the pot was 1625 after my 100 matched his all-in bet).
Additionally, I assumed the limper would bet all-in regardless of what he had, so I thought there was a good chance my AQ was good at that point against his hand. As it turns out he had the best of it with AK, but I still could win by catching a Q, 4 or 2, or making a Broadway straight. As it happens, even though I was an underdog instead of a favorite, I had about a 30% chance of winning the pot… meaning I was getting 15 to 1 on my money but was only a 3.33 to 1 underdog! Now those are great pot odds.
Now also note that my opponent laid down ten-eight. If I let him stay in, if it came a queen I would have lost, leaving my best outs to be catching a 4 or a 2 and then a non King, ten, eight, seven (or a three in the case of it coming deuce), plus the big blind’s other card assuming one of his cards was an ace. So, in other words, if I would have allowed the big blind in, instead of getting great pot odds, my chances of winning this nice pot would have been tiny (especially if the big blind’s unknown card was a 4 or a 2, in which I would have to split the pot sometimes).
Now considering all this, the big blind should have said, “wow, nice raise to get yourself better pot equity and increase your chance of winning the tournament.” But instead he focused on the utterly trivial point of increasing the chances of eliminating the 72nd player.
When playing a tournament there are times when eliminating a player becomes so important you should check down almost any hand to the river. The two most common times this would happen is when you are one out of the money, or when you are three handed. (Typically second gets paid double what third gets so any pot equity is less important than that large jump in real money.)
Eliminating players in a tournament is important. To win, everyone else must be eliminated. But it is not the most important consideration, and at some times it is an utterly trivial one. Your tournament actions should be dictated by one consistent goal — maximizing your financial expectation. Sometimes this even means NOT trying to eliminate players (like when a tournament is one or two players out of the money and you have a big stack and are able to steal the blinds virtually every hand… the longer this situation sustains itself, the better for you.)
Surprisingly, most people play without positive expectation being their primary motivator, and that is great for those playing to win. The challenge of a poker tournament is to always play in whatever way is in your best financial interest. That’s it. Often this will mean trying to eliminate opponents, while sometimes that consideration is irrelevant. Remember, it’s the money that matters.

The Body Language of Poker
What are poker tells? A tell is any habit, behavior, or physical reaction, that gives other players more information about your hand. The following are tips supplied to PokerTop10 by the pros, and can apply against novice or advanced players. Remember, in poker there are many contradictions and exceptions to the rule. Also, experienced pros will give out false tells to fool players.
1. Watch the Eyes
This is why many pros wear sunglasses or visors/caps when playing, they know that the eyes rarely lie. For example, many players can’t help but stare at big hole cards, so their length of time peeking is longer. Conversely, if a player is looking to steal the pot, he may look to his left to see if the remaining players, who haven’t yet acted, have quickly glanced at their cards and are likely to fold. Another example, a player may try to ask you questions about your hand, knowing that people rarely can “look someone straight in the eyes” while being dishonest.
2. Facial Expression
Again, many pros try to disguise their entire face by wearing a cap and looking downward. This is to avoid the classic stare-down that poker pros are famous for. They may try to study your face for nervousness (detecting a weak hand), or even look for repetitive characteristics like a body “tic”. You may have obvious unhappiness in your face when your hand is weak, and conversely, you may show a contrasting show of confidence when your hand is strong.
3. Weak is Strong/Strong is Weak
In its most simplistic form, this usually applies to novice players but frequently applies to pros as well. Basically, players like to be actors, and when they have a monster hand they tend to look disinterested. For example: “Oh, is it my turn to act” or “Oh I guess I will play these cards”. Alternatively, a player increasing the level of his voice while raising the pot, and trying to look intimidating.. may be running a bluff.
4. Anxiety
Anxiety typically occurs in people when they are confronted, or anticipating confrontation. Psychologists call this the “Fight or Flight” stimulus response, which links back to the days when we were cavemen/cavewomen. Physical changes happen including flexing of muscles, eye pupil dilation, palpitating heart rate, dry throat. In poker, when someone has a big hand they are typically ready for confrontation and can exhibit some of these characteristics. You may see the chest expanding abnormally, or you may notice the players voice become slightly higher as he makes a comment. Some of the top players in the game will stare at the vein on the top-side of your face for blood pressure changes. During a bluff, the player may demonstrate anxiety, but if he knows he will fold the hand if re-raised (non-confrontational end) may look quite comfortable.
5. Trembling Hands
Also, a byproduct of anxiety, beware of a player whose hands are shaking, this nervousness can represent a big hand.
6. Glance at Chips
Again, relating to the eyes. It is common for players to quickly glance at their chips if they connect with the board after a Flop. This may be a subconscious reaction, but the tell is the player is already planning his attack!
7. Peeking Hole Cards on Flop
Some players will take another look at their hole cards when, for example, the board is showing a potential 3 card flush draw. Typically, the player is looking to see if one of his cards is connecting, because he remembers only that the two cards are different suits.
8. Repetitive Betting Patterns
Usually the most revealing poker tells are based on the way a player habitually bets during particular situations. For example, maybe the player always checks when he has made the nuts, or a player may regularly fold after being re-raised.
9. Body Posture/Attitude
Some players show obvious changes in their posture based on their attitude/hand strength. For instance, you may notice their shoulders drop/slump when they are not confident (weak hand). Conversely, you may notice the player is very attentive and sitting in an erect position when he has strength. You may also notice that a player who bluffs a lot, leans forward in a confrontational way… remember Strong is Weak!
10. Chip Stacking
When you first sit down at a table, study the way the players stack their chips. Although it is a generalization, loose aggressive players typically maintain unorganized/sloppy stacks, while tight conservative players keep well organized/neat stacks.

Playing Pocket Aces
Despite what most people think, pocket aces is not the easiest hand to play (72o is, because you usually just click the fold button - nothing easier!). I find that some of the limit cash games I’m playing in these days are so tight that usually when I find AA, I simply win the blinds with it!
In limit, betting it preflop is almost always the right move. You may also choose to reraise it – although if you find yourself presented with the option of deception after someone else has reraised to limit the field, you may have reason to slow play.
For no-limit, card play is much more situational. However, I would seldom slow play AA at a full table. This applies in either tournaments or cash games – especially in cash games.
When shorthanded, and especially when shorthanded with a high blind stack ratio, slow play AA because you will likely sucker in some action without much risk of being beat. This usually happens at the end of a sit-and-go tournament when players have few chips to spare.
For any table of five or more people, slow playing is not usually your best option. You want to raise preflop just like you would any other decent hand: make a standard 3x or 4x raise, or raise the most you expect will be called by your opponent. Occasionally, it is beneficial to slow play after someone else has raised. But this is only the case if you expect the pot to be contested either heads-up or three-way, because the last thing you want is to pick up AA and end up in an 8-way pot with it. Playing AA into an 8-way pot in no-limit can often lead to problems.
Also, you don’t want to shut out all of your action pre-flop. Trust me, I’ve won the blinds with AA many times and it’s never much of a thrill. Therefore, I don’t advocate “guns blazing” into a dry pot. The only time to go in “guns blazing” is when there’s already action, which is why many people will slow play AA in early position preflop. You can employ this move as well, but be advised it’s common knowledge these days that people love to slow play AA up front. If you do slow play it up front, and you find an opening raiser behind you, do not mini-raise (mini-raising is raising the least amount possible) with AA because this is a dead giveaway about the strength of your hand. Depending on your opponents and what you feel will get the most chips now or later, either call or make a 3x to 4x raise. Quite often, just calling a single raise with your aces will disguise your hand, and that was the purpose of slow playing in the first place.
Whatever you do, do not miniraise AA after slowplaying it in early position. I love seeing people limp/miniraise pocket aces on me – it completely gives away their hand. The last person who did this with me was during a no limit – and this person lost their shirt because I knew for sure they had AA. It is really, really, really easy to play against someone whose cards you know.
In heads up, I’m much more likely to call when someone raises behind me, because then I can check to them and play back at them when they make a continuation bet on the flop. I rarely slow play aces past the turn. River check/raises are far too tricky to use on a regular basis, and besides, you’ll often feel the need to protect your aces with a solid raise by the flop or turn.

Poker Bluffing
The art of bluffing, as experts play, is seen in some of the biggest games, where a player with a weak hand forces another player with a stronger hand to fold. Ultimately, whatever you do that helps you win a hand or a game of poker is something to at least be aware of. Control over your expressions and emotions is an important aspect of bluffing. Hide your cues, or tells, that you give off when you pick up a strong hand or a weak hand. Keeping other players from seeing your strengths and weaknesses is the first step in being able to bluff effectively. Acting predictably can also help - your opponents are watching your behavior as much as you are watching theirs, and they will try to pick up patterns of betting and action. If you always fold on weak hands, they will assume that you have a strong hand if you don’t fold the next hand. This is when bluffing can let you fake your way into an advantage.
Know the cards well - if you are playing a version of poker that uses community or other face up cards, make note of which ones are showing and which ones you could have that would make for a powerful hand. For example, when playing Texas hold’em, when you see an ace, a king, and a jack get turned up as the flop, you could bet as if you held the missing ten and queen for a royal straight - a powerful hand that would allow other players to think you are very serious if you decided to bet everything you had at that time.
Betting, when done, is done as if you had a stronger advantage - betting higher than you think you should in order to intimidate others from following your lead. Of course, timing is everything - it may be too late to try to bluff after your opponents themselves begin betting high values. If they are betting high, you may assume that they are either bluffing themselves or in fact holding a strong hand themselves. You would likely have to raise the stakes very high to intimidate someone in a final round after they had already contributed a large amount into the pot, and coming on too strong may give your opponents a clue that you are, in fact, bluffing.
Detecting a good bluff is done using much of what you’ve already learned: look for initial tells and patterns of behavior that give you an idea as to what your opponent is holding. As they say, the first flinch is likely the right one - a player may leak out a tell before trying to cover it up with forced bravado. Watch for the cards that come out and know what cards they may be shooting for to figure the likelyhood of them actually having that hand. Remember that a player will want to win as much as they can when they are holding a strong hand, and they won’t be able to do that if they scare everybody off on the first round of betting, so don’t bet too high if you’re bluffing, and watch out for an opponent doing the same thing.
Texas Holdem Poker Beginning Strategy
Best Starting Hands in Texas Holdem Poker
The Texas Holdem Poker Beginner Strategy that I recommend is playing only the best starting Texas Holdem Poker hands.
The hands that you should be playing as a beginning Texas Holdem Poker player are: A-A, K-K, Q-Q, J-J, 10-10, 9-9, 8-8, A-Ks (the s means that both cards are the same suit – both clubs), A-Qs, K-Qs.
Limit yourself to only these hands. If you are dealt any cards outside of these hands then fold.
The goal is to have you win money. The best way to do that is to win as much as possible on the hands that you have a chance to win and to minimize your losses on hands where you have little or no chance to win. In other words, fold the bad hands.
If you have one of the best hands, I recommend that you raise your opponents. A raise does a couple of things for you.
-
tells you who else may have a strong hand (If they re-raise)
-
forces a player with a bad hand to fold
-
gets more money into the pot
Beginner Strategy on the Flop
When the flop hits you must assess:
-
Whether you have improved your hand or not.
-
Whether you have a hand that can win the game.
If you have improved your hand on the flop or still feel you have a good chance of winning, I recommend that you raise.
If you have not improved or don’t feel that your hand is good enough to win then I recommend folding.
Beginner Strategy on the Turn and River
Playing on the Turn and River is similar. Every time a card is dealt you should ask yourself:
-
Did you make your hand?
-
Do you have a good chance of making your hand?
-
Most importantly, is your hand good enough to win?
If it is I would raise. If it is not then I recommend folding.
Summary of Texas Holdem Poker Beginner Strategy
Our Texas Holdem Poker beginner strategy can be summed up in this manner:
-
If you do not have one of the best starting hands – FOLD
-
If you do have one of the best starting hands – bet or raise
-
After the flop if you have not improved your hand – FOLD
-
After the flop if you have improved your hand – raise
-
If after the Turn and River you have not improved your hand – FOLD
-
If after the Turn and River you have improved your hand – raise
This Texas Holdem Poker beginner strategy is easy to learn and use. Practice it and you will win with it.
