In Search of the Lost 'MTV Spring Break'
Upon preparation for my spring break, I do what any college-aged girl does when in need of a very specific curated collection of outfits: I look to the internet for inspiration. Typing in spring break alone on Pinterest will really only get me pictures of Vanessa Hudgens in a bikini and ski mask (thank you, Harmony Korine), so my scrolling persists, tweaking keywords here and there. I see pictures pop up from what looks to be the same event over and over.
Make Your Boyfriend Dress Like Johnny Knoxville
It would seem that men have taken the “dress your boyfriend like JFK Jr.” statement to heart. PAPER would like to propose an alternative: make him dress like Johnny Knoxville instead. Your boyfriend doesn’t know what to do with a Kangol hat; I promise you he can rock a buckle belt and shades. It’s not just in New York City where men have tried experimenting with the tie, blazer, jeans, backwards hat combo.

Seeking Partnership for STR/MTR near Fernadina Beach, Fl
Quote from @Avery Wilson: Good morning, I'm active-duty Navy and received orders out of state. I have a great property in Yulee (3/2, 2600+sqft, 5+ acres, 15 mins from the beach, hospitals, shopping, airport, and great schools) that I need to figure out what to do with.

Assessing 'Big Card Value' in No-Limit Hold'em Starting Hands
When players first start out learning no-limit hold'em strategy, many tend to focus a lot on starting hand selection. That's not a bad thing by any means, as figuring out you really shouldn't be playing every hand is an important early lesson to learn. Pocket pairs are inherently enticing to play, as you know you have a "made hand" even before the community cards arrive.
No One's Betting for You: Get Value From Strong, 'Hidden' Hands
Here's a low-stakes hand of online poker I played a while back that featured a not uncommon sequence of events, at least among recreational players or "non-regs." After raising with from late position and getting one caller from the big blind, my opponent quickly check-called my continuation bet after a flop. We'd been at the same table for a while, during which time he'd revealed himself to be one of those "sticky" loose-passive types frequently found at these small limits.
How and When to Use Aggression Effectively in No-Limit Hold'em
In poker, the general advice to "be more aggressive" is often given. Regardless of the variant, players are often told that the benefits of playing aggressively are many, and that failing to be aggressive reduces our chances of success. Less often provided are specifics regarding how and when to apply such aggression. Usually if any elaboration of the point follows it ends with a brief discussion of why aggressive players tend to enjoy more success than those who are passive.

Recognizing Different Flop Types in No-Limit Hold'em
Remember when you first learned how to play no-limit hold'em? What were the very first examples of strategy you learned? After learning the rules and order of play, probably one of the first elements of the game you learned had to do with starting hand values. You learned how... From there you probably learned about the importance of position, bet sizing and pot odds, and other ideas related to postflop strategy.
Looking for Action and Edges in PokerStars' Pot-Limit Omaha Spin & Gos
It still feels like a relatively new addition to online poker, but the Spin & Go format on PokerStars has been around for quite a while now. First introduced in 2014, the fast-paced, three-handed tournaments with "lottery"-style prizepools have become a popular option for many players. Ever since launching, different stakes have been added and other tweaks have been made to the format. Starting this week Spin & Go players have another option available to them — pot-limit Omaha.
Deciding When to Attack Cash Game Limpers
You're in a low-stakes cash game, one full of passive players many of whom are on the loose side. A hand arises in which you're in the cutoff, and three players limp in ahead of you. You look down at . What's your play? I know, I know... it depends. What do I know about those three players who've limped? Who is on the button, and who is in the blinds? What are the stack sizes? What's my image to this point?
Raising Your Awareness of Postflop Betting Sequences
Play enough hands of no-limit hold'em and you start to recognize patterns — everywhere. In your own play, and in the play of your opponents. Newer players start out focusing more on their own patterns than what others are doing, but eventually they begin to pick up on opponents' play as well — especially with regard to preflop decisions and actions. They'll notice who is raising before the flop and who isn't.
Mixing It Up: Learning to Balance Your Play in Poker
All poker players make mistakes. Those new to the game tend to make them more often — and more glaringly — than do experienced players. But even the best players frequently end a session lamenting having made a poor decision or three (or more) in hands they've played.
Understanding the Value of Position in Poker
No matter what poker variant you play, it is always going to be preferable to play a hand with position on your opponent(s) than to play it out of position. Position is especially important in no-limit hold'em given the fact that unlike in fixed-limit games, the player acting last can exert greater control on the pot size, thereby making things very uncomfortable for an out-of-position opponent. New players often seek advice about starting hand selection.
Postflop Poker in No-Limit Hold'em: Don't Fear It, Focus On It
Today I want to share a quick lesson about no-limit hold'em I actually didn't come to appreciate fully until after having played a lot of pot-limit Omaha. The advice is meant to encourage new NLHE players who wish to improve their games not to fear getting involved in postflop situations, but rather to recognize the need to focus on turn and river play in order to become better players.
Three Ways to Respond Versus a Table Full of Limpers
I play a lot of lower-stakes cash games and tournaments which attract a wide variety of players. Some are very experienced and challenging to play against, while others are either inexperienced or lack a lot of knowledge about tournament strategy, the importance of stack sizes and position, and other basics. Every now and then in these games I'll find myself at a table where not just one but several of my opponents show an inclination to limp before the flop rather than raise.
