Ten Poker Tips for Bigger Online Profits
Ten Poker Tips for Bigger Online Profits
Many players wanting to play online poker for the first time
think it is easier than it really is to make big money. While
you can make big money, you need to be prepared.
Here are ten tips that will help you maximize your winnings in
online poker:
Poker Tip 1: Know Your Game
When playing online poker for the first time, it is best not to
jump in at the deep end, but learn the basics first and then
play free games until you are comfortable with the way you play.
Poker Tip 2: Focus on One Game of Poker
Many new players try out all variations of poker at once, which
is a mistake - concentrate on one game and get familiar with it.
This will help you focus and develop a clear strategy. Do you
want to play seven card stud, Texas hold'em or Omagh hold'em?
Decide in advance.
Poker Tip 3: Allocate Your Budget
Set your bankroll and stick with it. Don't be tempted to chase
losses and have a profit target where you quit the table.
Poker is fun and you can make big money, but don't start
committing money you cannot afford to lose.
Poker Tip 4: Be Selective with the Hands that You Play
Playing to many hands will lose you money; you need to be
selective and patient.
You need to discipline yourself to fold when you have a bad
hand, you might want to bluff sometimes, but don't do it too
often and only do it in the right circumstances.
Poker Tip 5: Learn Other Player's Strategy
Other players are watching you and your strategy and you need to
do the same to them.
By working out their play, you can gain an extra edge and
enhance your winnings from the pot.
Poker Tip 6: Take a Break
If you're having a bad time at the tables, or find that you are
not enjoying the game, take a break.
To win at poker you need to fully focus on your strategy, if not
you will probably lose.
Poker Tip 7: Bet Correctly
betting correctly and taking risks is an essential part of
winning at poker. Make sure that you are only betting sensibly
when the odds of winning are in your favour.
Under no circumstances whatsoever, lose focus when you lose or
chase your losses.
Poker Tip 8: Don't try to be Clever in Low-Limit Online Poker
Don't try to be too clever in any low-limit tables. You will be
up against players who are mostly inexperienced and unfamiliar
with poker strategy and you will find your clever bluff goes
over their heads and at low limit tables they will be tempted to
call you!
Poker Tip 9: You Need to Move Up
Although it is possible for you to win big money at lower limit
tables, the big money is made at higher limit tables.
It is here that if you have a good strategy you will make big
money, as you are normally playing against players who know what
they are doing, so move up only when you are confident.
Poker Tip 10: Formulate a Strategy and Practice!
Whatever game you play you must have a clear strategy that gives
you an edge against other players.
This requires time and effort.
You need to have a betting strategy, know how to bluff, how to
slow play etc. and remember that practice makes perfect.
To become a good poker player takes time and experience
