3-D DAY! The day of the 3D poker room software download is imminent. With so many millions enjoying poker online the quality of the playing environment has become one of the prime concerns of the mega sites vying for your business. Having been involved in 3-D graphics and animation for some time I have been able to see at first hand how gaming site developers are beginning to integrate 3-D real-time video game industry technology in an attempt to give poker players a more realistic playing experience.
HIGH TECH “TELLS” Software now in existence can reproduce facial expressions etc and therefore create a visual persona enabling body language and other “tells” to be expressed during an online game. None of this changes the basic online poker experience currently available. It will simply make for a much more entertaining and fun environment. With so many new mid-twenties to thirties players reared on high-tech-game-play-expectations coming to online poker, this is a development essential to engage and maintain their long term involvement. From what I’ve seen so far, even Pixar and Dreamworks would be impressed. For more information on 3-D poker see PKR.com
TOP TOURNAMENT TIPS There are so many juicy tournaments now available online with fabulous prizes I’ve compiled a list of bullet points for new players to cut out and keep.
1 Go aggressively for the weak money early on and carve out what your play deserves.
2 Don’t needlessly go up against skyscraper stacks or obvious professional players.
3 Be aware of where you stand as far as the blinds and other stacks are concerned at all times. Always have an over-view.
4 Assuming you build an early stack from aggressive play, tone your game down and begin to focus on keeping it. You don’t have to face down every maniac just because you have the funds to do so. Stay in it to win it.
5 Be aware of who wants to win and who just wants to finish in the money. Attack the would-be winner and stay out of the way of Mr Security. In the final stage you have to re-engage your aggression.
