Since the Railbirds site was updated at the end of 2007 blogs more than two weeks old do not appear on the "Latest Blogs" list when they are commented on or bumped. From now on every week I will create a new blog that will have a link to this one. That one will be designed to be bumped so that it will appear in the "Latest Blogs" list. This is so that when it IS commented on it will be visible in the "Latest Blogs" list for newer members to discover and find this one.

If people don't start (and keep) bumping this

I WILL REMOVE IT!!!

This is a work in progress.

Alterations and additions will be made every month or two.

The dates this guide has been updated appear next to the name dividers (February 9 08 <><><><><> for example). At least one blog by each author below that dated name divider was added after that date. Thus the newest additions to this blog will always be nearer the bottom of the page.

If an author is already in this guide and posts a new blog I will move their entire blog list to the bottom of the page and leave a one line gap between the "old" and "new" blogs in their blog list to be removed at the next update. If the author is below the latest dated name divider and there is no one line gap it means ALL of that author's blogs are new to the guide.

To find what you want in this page: Whatever web browser you are using go to the "Edit" drop down menu and choose "Find in this page" and type in a key word such as stud, razz, omaha, or bankroll like you would in a search engine such as Yahoo or Google and you will find most of the blogs on that subject.

Do you know of another strategy post on Railbirds that isn't here?

PLEASE post the link or the blog number in a comment or send me a Private Message

THANK YOU!!!

NOTES:

Some blogs were given very generic names by their original authors.

In some cases I have change the name of the link located in this blog to be more descriptive.

Some words are purposely misspelled to get around the Railbird Censor

Any underlined green text it is a link to another Railbird members page.

Any underlined blue text is a link to a Railbird member's blog or forum post.

Any underlined red text is a link to one of my own blogs or to my page

Any underlined purple text will take you to the “blog list” of a member that has chosen to leave or has been banned from Railbirds

Any underlined black text is a link to a poker sites website. Poker site names like Poker Stars or Full Tilt (or just "tilt" too) and the names of any players associated with these sites (like Chris Ferguson) are at times automatically underlined and made a link by the Railbirds site itself since Railbirds is an affiliate of these poker sites.

Anything written in Italics is my own personal opinion.

This blog was written and formatted on Openoffice.org. A FREE open source word processor and office software suite that also opens and saves Microsoft Office documents. Bill Gates is the Anti-Christ!!!

VIDEOS:

REQUIRED WATCHING FOR INEXPERIENCED PLAYERS!!!! I'd recommend everyone watch them as even an experienced poker player will be reminded of things they've forgotten or are neglecting.

Two series of short videos that were uploaded by grisan and are narrated by Phil Gordon

This link http://www.railbirds.com/blog/39219 will take you to grisan's blog that lists all the videos.

A 15 part video series narrated by Daniel Negreanu called Stacked Poker School was posted by Bruheimo. The last 5 parts of this series (episodes 11-15) are covered with a succinct summery and some good commentary by xBigman1984x in this blog : Daniel Negreanu - Stacked.

Another 3 part video series posted by xBigman1984x and hosted/narrated by Daniel Negreanu - Small Ball Poker is about earning small pots by just raising the blind in the right positions and making setups to win big hands.

Bird Camp Training Blogs: Bird Camp : Index Page by TRB1965 .

. Bird Camp: Drill #1 (Basic Patience and Sticking to a Detailed Strategy) .

. Bird Camp: Drill #2 (The Art of the Bluff) .

This will be a series of "training" drills for practicing various elements of your poker game. The goal is to train and help poker players see how and why certain things should and shouldn't be done when playing poker. To do this each blog will have drills with certain specific rules that MUST be followed when the participants play poker. TRB1965 will post a new "drill" about once a week. He recommends doing these with play money (I agree completely, you don't win real games by playing exercises). If you wish to participate, you should simply follow the drill and post comments to let others know how things are going and what you are learning. Please contact TRB1965 If you have any ideas for more drills.
