Zvláštní pozornost je v PG HELPu věnována článku, který byl publikován v časopise "Poker Magazine: v roce 1995, pod názvem:
"A Primer for Playing No-Limit Hold'em Tournaments".
Obsahuje 8 pravidel:
How to play before the flop
Rule 1: Play only very good starting hands
Rule 2: If you are the first one in, enter with a raise.
Rule 3: If there are other callers in before you, raise if you have a large pocket pair, otherwise call
Rule 4: Use caution in responding to a raise.
How to play after the flop
Rule 5: When you hit a flop you like, bet big and raise big.
Rule 6: When you hit a good draw, bluff if the conditions are right. Call only if the one-card draw odds are correct.
Rule 7: Late in the tournament, fight for the blinds with big cards.Rule 8: Treat your last few chips as though they were precious, because
they are.
Samozřejmě, že pozornost informačním zdrojům, není jedinou předností HELPu.
