Expert Profile: Richard Rost

Expertise: I play most forms of poker, including Omaha, Razz, and Stud, but my personal expertise is with everyone's favorite game: Texas Hold'em. I'm happy to answer any questions about the rules of the game or strategy... but save your bad beat stories for your mama. :)

Experience in the area
I have been playing all kinds of poker since I was a kid, but I've played in the casinos and online since 2002. And while I'm not a full-time "poker pro" I have made a lot more money playing Hold'em than I've lost.

Education/Credentials
Aside from personal experience, I have studied most of the great poker players' books, such as Doyle Brunson's Super Systems, Phil Gordon's Little [insert color here] Books, David Sklansky's Theory of Poker, and I even suffered through Helmuth's book (just kidding - I enjoyed it).

2008-10-22 No Limit Hold em betting: If there are just 2 players in the hand, let's say the SB and BB, then the SB calls for $10, and the BB is all-in. Winner takes the pot. If another player wishes to get in the hand, he has to CALL the...

2008-10-09 pocket vs flop odds: Remember after the flop it doesn't really matter. If you have an ace in the hole and there are one or even two aces on the board you're still beating just about any other hand without taking straits or...
