3. Poker plays with PokerPeaker - Playing a paired board strong - If you get raised on a paired board and you are pretty sure you have the best hand, don't be afraid to get your money in.

4. Poker Plays by PokerPeaker – Making the right play after bad play - I have a nice pocket pair, Q-Q, and I'm playing $.25/.50 NLHE on Bodog Poker. Now before I start, I have a confession to make.

5. Poker plays with PokerPeaker - The 4th raise means A-A - I'm playing .50/$1 NLHE on PokerStars. I'm dealt A-A. That's pretty good. Even so, I'm not going to mess around with them.

6. Poker plays with PokerPeaker - Playing with two pair - This is always a tricky hand to play in early position.

7. Poker plays with PokerPeaker - Folding trips - I'm playing $25 NL on Bodog Poker. I have A[d] - 3[s]. It's not a terrible hand when it's folded around to you, so I throw in my quarter.

11. Poker plays with PokerPeaker - Making a loose call against a loose player - A player I'm targeting raises to .50. That's what he's raised to every hand. So even though I don't have that great of a hand - it's exactly the kind of hand, in fact, I would pitch if a tighter player raised - I call.
12. Poker plays with PokerPeaker - Folding Aces - I raise $1.25. It's five times the big blind, but I've found a big raise with a big pair at the lower levels helps prevent six callers and ruining your Aces.

13. Poker Plays with PokerPeaker – Playing Frustrated - I'm playing $.25/.50 NL on Ultimate Bet. I'm in the middle of a frustrating losing streak, when I've been sucked out on several times and lost to coolers as well.
14. Poker plays with Pokerpeaker - Limiting Your Losses - I'm playing $25 NL in a full ring game on Bodog. I called a raise from late position with K[s]10[s]. I am in middle position.
