I was playing Texas Holdem
online this morning. A free game just to while away some
time until my buddy picked me up to go to the casino. For
some reason I kept getting pocket pairs. First it was a pair
of Deuces. The flop came 8d,Ah,8s which gave me two pair
Eight's and Twos. Losers. More
People skills are not needed in
Internet casinos:
The reason is obvious. You
do not meet the other players face to face. You spend no
time looking for tells because you are faced with an
immobile avatar that cannot give anything away. Playing
poker face to face in a brick and mortar card room is a lot
different. You can substitute some of your technical know
how with your read of the opposition.
The Different Types of Poker
Players
Poker Players vary in type.
It has nothing to do with the color of their skins or the
religion that they like. It has to do with the personalities
that they bring to the poker table.The tight passive style
player does not like to take risks. For instance, He will
not raise or reraise before the flop with a pair of Aces in
the pocket. He sits on his money and on his hands and never
gets value for the good hands that he catches. He may win
modest amounts from time to time but will loose over the
long run. Without maximizing his profits in the hand or two
an hour that he plays he is on a downward slope. It is
slight but it is still going down.
Short Stack Of Poker
Chips
It is going to happen to
you. One fine day you will find yourself with a short stack
of poker chips. There is no question that when you are in
this position that you are at a distinct disadvantage. The
Big Stacks are going to try and roll over you and get you
out of the game. If it is a money game they like nothing
better than see a guy rebuy chips.
If You Tilt Playing Holdem Get Out
Of The Game
Tilt is the loss of control
that you experience during a losing streak or after a
particularly bad beat. The best way to recover from tilt is
to accept your loss and get out of the game. Let some time
pass. regain your poker sense and get back into the
game.This will happen to everybody, sooner or later. The
advantage of an Internet poker room is that you do not have
to spend the money for gas, food, and drink. It is far
easier to change tables on the Internet. The only thing that
I could do was get up and walk around my chair a time or
two. It was no help.
Playing Texas Holdem For Real
Money
Playing Texas Holdem for
real money is exciting and lots of fun. Of course, it is
almost every ones dream to play holdem for the million
dollar jackpots at some tournament in Las Vegas but for most
of us that is just not going to happen. Very few of us have
the ten thousand dollar buy in to get into the Vegas
Tournaments and have to be satisfied with playing poker
online. If you are an average guy and have the average
amount of expendable income you will still have lots of fun.
If you are playing with money that you cannot afford to
loose then you have a problem and Houston will not bail your
ass out. If you lack people skills don't fret,

The Bad Beat. What can You Do when
It Hits You
I was playing last night and
got creamed by a, "Bad Beat". I was sitting with Ace/Ace in
the pocket and hit a set on the flop. Of course I was
raising every chance that I could and did not get a reraise
until the river. Which was OK with me. The flop was
Ace-h-7d-5c. The turn, 2d, and the river 7h. The seven of
hearts gave me the full house so I raised back. After the
smoke cleared I was beaten by 4 7s. I did the only thing
that a sane man can do and went to play Craps
Reading The Texas Holdem Poker
Board
When you look at the flop
always take your time and use the same abount of time every
time. Don' look at any of the other players when you raise
your head. look instead at a neutral place or the dealer.
You should not have picked up your cards until you have had
a chance to study the other players at the table pick up
theirs. Holdem can be fast paced but you can slow it down
some without being obnoxious about it. Ace
