Sky Poker are offering players on six-max tables with two or three participants
an extra 50% on their usual Poker Points awards. Cash games on short-handed tables may feel a little strange if you’re used to
playing more than half a dozen opponents, but they come with a number of
distinct advantages:
You’ll see much more action as the chances of anyone being
dealt a premium hand are significantly lower, plus it’s easy to capitalise on large
pots when you find yourself playing with someone less experienced or able than
you.
Many players don’t realise how interesting and exciting short-handed poker games can
be, with pots swinging wildly between players making you adopt a different type
of strategy. You’ll need to be able to keep your nerve and watch out for bluffing
players more than usual, as well as being prepared to make the occasional bluff
yourself - but the benefits you’ll gain will make the time and effort you put in
very worthwhile, making you a much more rounded player.
Most poker promos encourage you deposit and buy as many chips as possible,
so it’s great to see a site making the effort to help players gain more experience
in a specific area of their game. If you’ve not added short-handed play to your
repertoire yet then this will be an ideal place to come and get some experience,
so come along to Sky when it’s quiet and start adding another feather to your
poker playing cap.
