Basic Tips you can use when playing Texas Hold’em Poker

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

When you start playing poker, you will have a lifetime to fine tune your poker strategy. Every game will be a learning experience where you can get a lesson or two from. If you are a new player, we line up some basic poker tips that you can use when trying to bring home some chips.

Know when to bluff

Newbies of poker are often very aggressive playing their games and they also do have a tendency to bluff a lot. Bluffing is really a powerful move in poker, but over use it and it will really lose its value. You might see big bluffs on TV with the professional poker players but remember that they rarely do this.

When you bluff regularly, you risk your stack without holding the best of cards. It is fun. It is exciting. But remember that you may end up losing a lot of money when you don’t properly time your bluffing plays.

Use Position

When you are dealt your cards you have to know your position on the table relative to the dealer. You have to know if you are acting early or acting late. If you are on the left of the button, then this means you will be one of the first to make a move. When you’re on the button or onto its right, then you will be making a late move.

How to play Pocket Queens

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Pocket Queens GirlGetting a pair of queens is one of the best hands pre-flop in No Limit Texas Hold’em. There are problems though when you go on a pre-flop raising collision with other players, as you might be banging heads with pairs of aces or kings. After the flop, you have to be ready to fold in case you meet an overcard to your good pair. Do not be married to the queens.

There is a very low probability that your pocket queens will be facing aces or kings. You need to feel the game though when the pre-flop betting goes very heavy. Check the behavior of your opponents if they are likely having aces or kings.

You need to consider your position when playing these cards. Let say you have a loose raiser to your right, then you have a green light for a re-raise. See if after the flop there will be an Ace and there will be a raise or more people getting into the pot, you might consider folding.

You need to probe as the players make their move so you can decide if you will play or fold.

Analyzing Your Poker Bankroll

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

moneyBankrolling is something that too many players do not take the time to consider. It does not matter if you are just in poker for the love and the fun of the game, or if you plan to play so you can make some extra money. You still need to pay very close attention to your poker bankroll; you need to understand its ins and its outs completely.

You need to keep a close account of the expenses you use in poker, as well as your income, and you need to do it for extended periods of time.

It is not too much to say you should make up a balance sheet to help you keep close track of all your expenses. Include everything, from small games to tournaments to online games.
