Sport Curiosities!

  • Poker was made official as a mental sport on April 29, 2010, by the International Mind Sports Association (IMSA), being considered a game of strategy and skill just like chess, bridge, checkers, among others.
  • Online poker started to blow after a $39 bet made by an American in an online qualifying tournament for the WSOP (World Series of Poker) and ended up champion of the main tournament, defeating great professionals. The guy, called Chris Moneymaker, became a millionaire as his name predestined. Awesome, isn?t it!
  • Poker players are usually classified by their typical behavior in the game, being identified by the combination of the quality of the hands played with the way of betting.

    Quality of the hands played
    Hold the Hand - participates in few hands and always plays good cards
    Open Hand - enters in any two cards, take whatever appears


    Ways to bet
    Agressive - raises bets frequently, rarely passes or checks
    Passive - pass and checks frequently, does not react to the bets/raises

    WHAT KIND OF PLAYER ARE YOU? Open Hand Hold the Hands
    Aggressive Often called a maniac, he plays a lot of hands and bluffs a lot, impacting other players who end up asking to leave. It is difficult to bluff against this type of player. Considered the most efficient style, it participates in fewer hands, but bets aggressively - rarely check or fold. It starts by holding your hand and it increases your chances of winning during the Flop. You bet and raise bets aggressively, maximizing winnings while misleading opponents. It is the style that requires greater mastery because it requires patience, discipline and boldness.
    Passive Beginners often fall into this category: they play many hands and all are weak, being swallowed up at the Showdown. That passivity makes them bet modestly and rarely raise, even when they have a good hand, failing to maximize their winnings. That is why they are considered 'small fish' and treated as a delicious bait for Poker sharks. You only play when you have a good hand, therefore playing few rounds. They often checks or leaves, even when they have a good hand. In the long run, you are always at a disadvantage because you do not maximize your earnings. They are often pressured to pass by the most aggressive players.
