Stephen Bartley writes about poker and gambling. His passions away from work and family are horse racing, tea, drink and politics. Having escaped London, a world that involved double locks and baseball bats hidden by the door, Stephen moved with his partner, step-daughter and young son to Whitstable, a seaside town in Kent, where he resides in a coastal fortress with astonishing fields of fire. That makes it good for nights in, watching American racing, drinking cocktails and getting early nights.

Poker Quack

A feature may appear on a pretty well known poker website this week, written by me, and containing possibly the worst poker advice ever given.

It's not there yet. But it could be soon. An innocently posed question from a poker learner, who desperately needs help with a costly aspect of his game. Then follows sage wisdom, rosemary consideration and parsley pride in an answer which sets the record straight.

Both of which will be me of course. And the only advice I know to give is to move all-in if in any doubt. Even if you lose you can get out of the place and try playing golf instead.

So yes, what to do? Bluff. That's what. If anyone complains just shout louder than them. The appearance of confidence is much better than actually having any. And I'm full of appearance...
