What is Holdem strategy for when blinds go up fast?
When blinds go up fast in a Texas Holdem tournament, you can limp into less pots and have to be more aggressive. A lot can be written on ‘Holdem strategy for when blinds go up fast’, but the main point you must grasp is that even if you win a few pots and get a big stack, you must continue to be aggressive and ‘gamble’ more to stay ahead of the quickly increasing blinds. Although this leads to a more erratic play and can be quite a roller coaster ride, you must continue to picks up pots and try to steal any chips you can gather.

It’s tax time in the U.S., and this has been a hot question the last few weeks. If you are an American, the answer is yes. It does not matter that the U.S. government is trying to ban online poker; they just want your money. Any money that an American citizen makes regardless of how or where, must be taxed. Online poker is NOT illegal, but the IRS demands that you pay taxes on all income, whether that is from your job at a factory, or selling pot.
