The Oracle's Corner

This hand comes from Commerce Casino in Los Angeles. The game is no-limit hold'em with $50-$100 blinds. The minimum buy-in for the game is $5,000, but most players have at least $20,000 in front of them, and sometimes much more. On occasion, when Kenny Tran is hosting his regulars, it is not...

The Oracle's Corner

This hand comes from a $25-$50 pot-limit Omaha (PLO) cash game on Full Tilt. PLO is enjoying a growth in popularity both online and live. There is considerably more gamble and thought involved in a four-card game, in which you must use two cards from your hand, than there is in no-limit...

The Oracle's Corner

This hand took place in the World Poker Tour Championship in April 2008 at Bellagio. Phil Hellmuth actually wrote about this hand in the Vol. 21/No. 12 issue of Card Player, but he left out some pertinent situational facts, and thought he was playing Michael Binger, instead of Michael's...

The Oracle's Corner

This hand comes from the final table of event No. 4 of the World Series of Poker, $5,000 mixed hold'em. Five players remained: Erick Lindgren, Justin Bonomo, David Rheem, Andrew Robl, and Roland De Wolfe. This was the best final table I have seen yet at this year's WSOP. The level of play...
