Ok, so you’ve heard it all before – don’t draw to a flush on a paired board, make sure your outs are clean, don’t limp-re-raise with anything, let alone 86 off-suit yadda yadda yadda.

Here I present you 5 poker videos and a quick lesson next to each one. Enjoy!

1. Don’t play high stakes poker while tired,drunk or high on weed brownies.

Final pot $95,795.50 won by limp-re-raising pre-flop with 86 off-suit. Textbook.

You can read the hand history and back story and more funny comments here. Go wake up emil, go wake up emil!

2. ZOMG – Full House, can’t fold!

A sick big pot between Gus Hansen and Daniel Negranau – “You’re looking at a man who just lost almost $300k cash.” Final pot $575,700.

3. Don’t bet unless you have a hand. Or, more to the point, don’t play against Phil Ivey.

Phil Ivey bets, Paul Jackson raises, Phil Ivey re-raises, Paul Jackson re-re-raises, Phil Ivey pushes all in.. With nothing! Heads up at the final table of the Monte Carlo Millions. Although this wasn’t the final hand it was clearly an important one and the difference between first and second place here is $400,000.

4. Always keep your cool. Stay focused.

Tuff Fish: A legend among poker players provides entertainment, you most certainly need sound for this. He hits his set and already he’s complaining “We couldn’t get an ace-king out here could we!?” I hear ya tuff fish.

5. Always pay attention to your hand and the board.
