Play the free Texas Holdem game before your try the real money game just to get used to the software. If you are new to Texas Holdem play the play money games a lot. If you are on a dial up connection write down the number of the game that you are playing in case you get bumped off the net and have to reconnect. The software knows if you have been disconnected and will save your place. but do not get lost in the raises and reraises. Too many of the poker players, if you could call them that, call every hand. You need to find a game that will not temp you to do as they do. As in everything you do in reality what you train to do in practice. There is the classic story of a Police officer who when training on the firing range was taught to fire six rounds and then stop and pick up his ejected brass. When he was drawn into a real gun fight that is exactly what he did. He fired six rounds, stopped, and picked up his brass. He was, unfortunately, killed. Poker is a lot less serious than a gun fight and you will do as you are trained. The reason most people can't win at poker is that they play too many hands. There is no shame in dropping your hole cards into the muck pile. Think of it as saving money. If you are going to win at Texas Holdem Poker or any other poker game you should spend lots of time thinking about how to avoid spending money. In pot limit games do you really want to bet as much that's in the pot to win the same amount. It is like betting a dollar to win a dollar. Not a good idea unless you have the nuts hand. Going All In is the strongest bluff. Nothing talks like money nor is anything more convincing in a poker game than putting your whole stack up against the out come. Try this tactic to much and you are going to loose Big Time. There are very few shrinking violets playing poker. It is a gamblers game that demands a high degree of skill. Trying to bluff by going all in over and over again is going to get your bluff called by more than on poker playing gambling man at the table. |
