Poker Tips From The Masters
POKER TIPS........TO WIN!
Poker is a very popular card game, where players with either
fully or partially hidden cards bet into a central "pot." To the
player having the best card combination, the accumulated bet in
the pot is then handed over.
Before the dealing of the cards, one or more players, depending
on the rule, is required to place an initial bet unto the pot.
After which, the cards are dealt, face down. Thus the beginning
of the game.
Strategy should be developed so that one will learn who plays
fair or who the sharper player is. By defining them, one can
easily deal with them. Carefully study each players move so you
will prevent loss in your cards.
Poker is a game of strategy. Even with bad set of cards, a good
poker player still has a high chance of winning. Here are some
tips:
*Hand strength. Any hand that is less than a pair should be
folded at the earliest opportunity that comes. Don't wait that
other cards will remedy the situation, because they will not.
*Display a poker face. This makes the other players wary of your
cards. Your expression will let your opponents know how good or
how bad are your cards. A point to remember, never project any
clue to them, if you will, then make certain that if you do have
bad cards, pretend you have otherwise.
Do bear in mind that bluffing will not work if you are a poor
player. Meaning players who over estimate the force of their
hand. Also, if a player bluffs repeatedly or regularly, expert
players will eventually sense their style and would now know if
they are bluffing or not.
*Never be afraid to fold. One threatening aspect in poker is
placing your bet. As to how much or how little one should bet,
feel the game. As you go along, you will then be knowledgeable
and know when to bet and when to fold. A rule to keep in mind
is, don't expect later cards will improve your situation if you
have nothing in your hand. Be free to fold as frequently as
needed.
*Control. Bet wisely. This means betting with your head. Bet
only within your means. You can not gain fortunes in poker, so
stay within your limits.
*No alcohol. As alcohol makes one bolder and daring, it is wise
to avoid it at poker time. You might find yourself betting more
in not so good cards. Avoid alcohol especially when the stakes
are high.
It is important for one to devote a lot of time for the
development of your own strategy. The more you play the game,
the longer that you are exposed to it, you could then have your
own secrets to winning the game.
