Poker Tips and Tricks

Mr. Pom asked:




There are many poker tips tricks which can use for winning a poker hand. The first important thing is that your system must be something which suits the pay that you are playing. Suppose if anyone is using a poker system which calls for bluff after bluff and if you don’t like to play like this then you are going to end in a very bad way. While searching for a system, think yourself as a player because by this way only, you will be able to tweak the details of the system which will better suit your need.

Always keep in mind that while developing your poker system or using the poker tips tricks, a lot of trouble will come along your way. In poker game, if anyone is playing then he or she should never think that they will win all the hands. Some hands you will loose also. The most important thing is that one should have enough confidence in them about what they are doing. But remember that you should never be overconfidence also.

One of the biggest poker tips tricks is to hide the way you are playing poker. To do this, one has to conceal the strategy so much that no other player will be able to understand and figure you out. But remember that never waste your all time about worrying how to hide the things in the game. The most convenient way to hide about yourself in the poker game is no to show anybody about what you do. Never discuss anything about your playing strategy while playing a poker game.

And among all the most important poker tips tricks is that never show any of your playing strategy unless you have to. If you think that you can win the complete game without showing anything to anybody then you should like this way only. Remember that, in poker game the strategy is that thing which should be kept near and dear to your heart. It is the most important thing, which you will use for winning the hand. One more thing is important that one should always try to play with the players who are weaker than them.

Poker Strategies

Bobby G. Laney asked:


 

Poker is a game where players compete against one another, not against the house. This makes it different than other gambling games where each player is playing against the house. The house makes its money on the game by taking a small portion out of the pot. It doesn’t set the payout percentage like it does with slot machines. With slot machines, the house will always win in the long-run. If the payout percentage is ninety-five percent, the house will, in the long-run, receive $.95 out of every dollar and pay out only $.05 out of every dollar. It doesn’t work like this in poker. The house doesn’t care how big a pot is built by the players and how big the pot is that you win. They get their rake either way.

To be successful at poker requires some of the same strategies that are importance to being successful in other forms of gambling. Unless you want to be a continual donor to the pot, you need to have a strategy in addition to skill. Your strategy has to include discipline and money management, just as in other forms of gambling. Discipline means self-control or thinking with your brain and not with your emotions. You have to be able to throw down a hand that you know isn’t going to win. You have to be able to walk away when losing instead of doing the “just $100 more and I’ll win it back” number. Discipline means that you don’t play when you’ve had too much to drink. You have to have the self-control and discipline to control your money. Make a plan that allocates a certain amount of money to your poker playing. This is money that you don’t need for other things, like rent or food or the electric bill.

The money you allocate to online poker playing is money that won’t hurt you if you lose it. You don’t want to bet your car payment on a poker hand! If you lose the money that you have allocated to that session, then quit. If you set the limit for the evenings play at $250 and you’ve lost the $250, then quit. Don’t keep digging into your pocket or you will end the evening with empty pockets. Also, have a positive attitude which you combine with your knowledge of the game and you skill at playing. Don’t sit down at the table with the attitude that “I’ll play until I lose my $300.” With that kind of attitude why bother to play at all. Why don’t you just donate the money? You need a positive realistic attitude combined with discipline. This is the basis for any strategy for success in poker or any other form of gambling.

One of the advantages of playing casino poker at a table is that you can see the other players. You can see their reaction to the cards that are played, to the bets and raises and to the other players. You can listen to their conversations. If you know how to listen, the other player’s actions and words can tell you what kind of hand they have. It takes a lot of practice and discipline to have a poker-face. Unless the players are very disciplined, they will let things slip. We’ve all been in games where somebody is dealt the card that they need for an inside straight or a flush and they light up like a Christmas tree! Or they gasp when they look at the card and their eyes widen! These are some of the little things to watch for. These are the signals that are absent when the game is being played online.

In order to win at poker you have to be able to bluff. A bluff is when a player bets and raises trying to make the other players think he has a good winning hand. The purpose of the bluff is to make them drop out. Then the player who is bluffing takes the pot. You can’t always have a winning hand, and sometimes you have to take the opportunity to take a hand. Watch the professional poker games on television. How often do you see them bluff? Sometimes you’ll watch a professional player take several pots in a row by bluffing. And he is playing against other professionals! If you can’t bluff, then don’t sit down at the poker table. Going along with this is the Show Play. Here you let one of the other players bluff even when you know you have the better hand, maybe a pair of pocket aces. This way you hide the strength of your hand, and you let the other player build the pot for you. This way the table focuses on the other player and doesn’t pay too much attention to you until the end when they wonder “What does he have?”

When playing poker, you want to analyze each situation on its merits. You have an Ace-King on the deal this hand just as you had two hands ago. If you follow some book or magazine article that tells you how to play poker, you will do the same thing each time. If you play mechanically based on some book or magazine article you become predictable to your opponents. Pretty soon they will be able to guess your hands by watching your actions. Playing like a robot is not the way to play poker. You must be analytical about the situation and treat each hand as a separate event. You need to learn to think to be successful at poker, not to follow the rules that some magazine article gives you. What cards are on the table? If there are three Aces on the table, whereas two hands ago there were twos and threes, that should tell you that the situation is different and you don’t play it the same way. Each hand is a separate event and the cards, players, etc. should be analyzed within that context.

These are just a few tips and strategies to keep in mind when playing poker.

At a time when new poker books are pouring onto store shelves, Dennis Purdy is the first author to offer a unique approach to learning poker with The Illustrated Guide to Texas Hold’Em. The former gambling pro uses a visual problem-solving approach rather than a textual approach at teaching poker strategy.

The first three chapters of the guide start off very similarly to many beginner books on the poker market, covering the basic rules of how to play Hold’Em, what you might wear to a table, how much you should buy-in for and some rules of good poker etiquette. The fourth chapter presents eight brief rules of ‘good basic poker strategy’ followed by a detailed explanation of actual odds and pot odds. Chapter five is where this book becomes unique as the next 300 pages are filled with 150 different, illustrated Texas Hold’Em poker scenarios, matched with the author’s answer to each of the practice situations! Purdy ends the book with a noteworthy 30 page poker terminology glossary.

The cover indicates that this guide may make a winner out of an advanced player but this book was really designed to captivate those unlikely readers that shy away from the other poker books already published. The introduction warns that this book is not ‘targeted towards sophisticated and knowledgeable players’, and I would agree. Advanced players will find too many examples stating the obvious like situation #2: folding 27 offsuit before the flop.

Purdy’s advice is mostly in-line with most other poker authors however there are certainly some debatable answers to a few of his problems (i.e. Problem #46 suggests to cap the betting with 36s pre-flop?). There is often more than one correct way to play any individual poker hand however I sometimes found myself wondering why Purdy would suggest such advanced plays, especially since these situations can be easily misinterpreted by new players. The intention of this guide may have been to give definitive situational advice to poker scenarios, however, I suggest that readers actually place more importance on the general strategy advice given in the answers rather than the specific action to take. It’s really the whole strategic approach you take to the game that will make the most difference in your results.

The visual representation of each of the poker situations is by far this book’s greatest asset. I personally know readers to have picked up this book after ignoring the other acclaimed texts on the premise of its simple and fun-looking learning method. Another quality point is that no commitment is needed as the reader can easily review a couple pages and put the book back down again without losing the value of the material. The teaching pattern also follows through with its ideas, enabling the reader to encounter the same notions and strategies in various problems throughout the book (for example, each of situations #17, #38 & #148 address folding small pocket pairs in early position before the flop).

Due to the popular nature of problem solving game books, this style of teaching poker is expected to appeal to many players and will most likely be adopted in more books to come. Like many books of its nature, The Illustrated guide to Texas Hold’Em is not recommended as the only book to teach you sound poker strategy, but as a visual practice supplement for those players not interested in studying the more technical texts. Readers that insist on keeping the fun and excitement first and foremost in their poker education will appreciate this chance to learn without being bogged down with abstract concepts or complicated terminology.
