Most people in the poker industry don't write much in the way of headlines at all though, so I think the examples I gave would stand out pretty well. I know that your "20 Hardcore SEO Tips" was a pretty successful post, and I think the headline and approach was at least partially responsible for that post's success. Maybe someone will write "20 Hardcore Texas Holdem Tips" and it'll take off. Thanks for the insights, Michael – I agree.

When everyone is writing "Top 5 Tips For Winning At Poker" articles, it's time to stop writing "Top 5 ..." articles and come up with headlines that stand out from the crowd. You still need to use good hooks -- a headline is an elevator pitch for the Web and it has to intrigue readers. But when everyone is using the same kind of headlines, the power of the psychology behind the format is spread too thin.
