Don’t Let Your Poker Game Slip!

Poker is just one of those games where you either want to play, or you don’t. If you don’t want to play poker right now, you need to stop and think about what’s keeping you from having your best poker game ever. Is it fear? Are you worried about the number of people that you have to play against? Are you thinking about all of the ways that you can mess up?

Either way — stop that. You are in control of you, and that means that it’s up to you to make sure that you don’t let your poker game slip. Now, we are poker players too, and therefore we are trying to reach out to our fellow gamblers before they end up blowing through their bankrolls. Did we mention that this is all part of managing your bankroll? If your psychological game is off, your poker game is going to be off too.

You will need to think about the type of poker game that you want to have, and figure out how to achieve it. Is it that you need to brush up on the fundamentals of poker? Is it that you need to switch to a different variety to give your brain a chance to try on something new? We know we’re asking a lot of questions, but these are the same questions that we had to ask ourselves in order to really make sure that poker is something that we wanted to keep playing. We needed to stop and really ensure that poker is something we still wanted to do. A lot of the struggles that we overcome as newcomers to the poker world were the realization that this was definitely real — we were putting real time, real energy, and real money into the sport of poker. It really is a sport in many ways, and it’s one that takes practice.

If you were into weight lifting, would you stop lifting just because you felt bad one day? Would you stop if you just didn’t feel like going to the gym one day? Would you stop if people told you that they didn’t understand why you spend so much time with this discipline?

Of course not — not if you really wanted to be a weight lifter more than anything else in the world. If you really want to play good poker and win big money, you will need to start adopting this attitude. Yes, we write a lot about mastering your psychological game because this is the first place that people are going to attack. They’re going to make you feel like it’s impossible to play good poker because there are just too m any things that are outside of your control.

Yes, this is also true — you can’t control what hole cards you’re going to get, nor will you ever be able to control the way the flop hits. There are going to be times where luck will win you pots, and luck will also cause you to lose pots. However, instead of worrying about the things that you can’t control, why not start thinking about the type of things that you can control? Why not start thinking about the fact that you can look at the statistics of poker and make sure that you’re calculating your pot odds before you even step down to make a move?

Sometimes you will have to let go of pots that seemed like sure things, but if you play poker with logical methods, you’re going to win more often than if you just relied on gut feelings. Do we play with emotion sometimes? Sure — but we also acknowledge that we just increased our risk when we do that. As long as you can live with increased risk, you’re welcome to develop your poker game anyway you choose.

If you find yourself ready to get more serious about poker, you might need to make sure that you’re running with people that are just as passionate as you. Unfortunately, when people don’t share your love for a certain hobby, it can feel like you’re wasting your time playing poker. While we tell people to avoid complaining too much on poker social boards, the truth is that you can turn them into something constructive pretty easily. It’s just a matter of really wanting to turn it into something productive.

When you get started on a poker message board, you will need to make sure that you’re not just rushing in like you’re an expert. If you’re coming into the boards from a learning standpoint, you will want to make sure that you communicate that point very well. If you just rush in and try to answer everyone’s questions right off the bat, people are going to assume that you’re pushy and they’re not going to want to really deal with you.

At the end of the day, poker is really what you make of it. As long as you are aware of your play at all times, you’re not going to run too high of a risk of letting your poker game slip — why not play a few hands today? You could probably use the practice, and there’s always someone that would be more than happy to put your newfound poker gambling skills to the test!

What is a Three-Bet?

admin

Around here, we’re definitely not afraid to admit when we’re wrong, or when we might have jumped the gun. You see, many of our previous poker guides talk a good game about how you should reach out to gambling forums about poker and get help. However, when you sign up for a forum like this, you realize real quick that a lot of seasoned vets are going to be throwing around a lot of jargon that you might not be familiar with. This is also the case when you start learning poker exercises and they’re asking you what you would do in certain situations and why. There’s going to be terms that just pop up from time to time, and you don’t want to end up being unsure of what’s really being talked about.

For example, you might not know what a three-bet is. Of course, you can go with the glossary definition only, which is just the 3rd bet in the round. However, a three-bet is more than just an empty definition. When you play poker, you need to understand how these terms interlock and work with each other. You will need to form your strategy around these terms and make sure that you understand how they can either work for you or against you.

Do you need a strategy for a three-bet? Sure you do. It’s something that can be an attack against you, an intimidation method or just a player not really knowing what they’re doing. There are many reasons to three-bet, and we’ll cover them and more in this guide.

Three-bets usually come in two basic flavors: the value three-bet and the light three-bet. What do we mean? Let’s find out.

First off, the value three-bet. You might remember us covering the value bet previously, and those rules still apply here. However, the goal with the value-three bet is still to get more money in that pot while you have a great hand. Some players will play into it, thinking that you’re playing wildly, while others will fold because they don’t want to risk any more of their money. Remember that the chip stack that everyone has will play a role in how many money gets into the pot. In addition, it’s all about how the player feels bout their chances. If they aren’t thinking that they have a good hand, they’re going to make sure that they bail out before they lose. On the other hand, if they think that they can really beat you, then you’re going to want to give them the illusion that you don’t have anything.

This is the hard part — a lot of newcomers are going to want the exact times where you will want to do a value three bet and when you will want to just back out of the hand. However, it’s hard to really give that type of specifics in such a situation as the three-bet. There are just too many factors that shift too much to really be able to say what will work and what will not work. What you will need to do is simply remain tight-aggressive and play selectively within a certain range. For example, would you want to value three-bet a 9-9 pair? Probably not. Would you want to value bet AA or KK? Definitely. Even JJ would be a good time to value three-bet.

Let’s talk now about the light three-bet, because it’s definitely an important set of points to note. The light three-bet can be used to steal pots because you’re trying to get someone to pay attention to your re-raise with the most appropriate response — folding. You want them to fold and fold hard. It doesn’t matter what they have. You want to make them feel like there’s absolutely nothing that can stop you from winning. Loose players that raise lightly are the ones that can be targeted effortlessly with this strategy. If they push in, they’re risking even more chips. Why would they want to do that? Most of the time, they’re going to fold and leave you the pot — mission accomplished.

Remember that image plays a role. While the tight-aggressive style is something that we like to see, you don’t want to get too predictable. Poker is all about making sure that you keep your opponents guessing. You cannot do that if all you do is stay tight. People will see through that quickly and then it’s curtains for your poker game. Three-betting is something that spices things up in a big way, leaves your opponents guessing, and opens up the opportunity of getting at the pot. What more could you want?

This is just one more strategy that you can add to your arsenal that should serve you well not just for the poker games that you play now, but just about every game from now till the end of your poker career!

Plug the Leaks! 6 Poker Mistakes That Are Stealing Your Money

admin

Perfecting your poker game is something that isn’t going to happen overnight. Now, that might seem a bit obvious to you but there are plenty of people that really do believe that they should have a perfect poker game in a matter of days, weeks or even months. The truth is that you can spend years learning the ins and outs of poker and still have a long way to go. Masters are not born overnight. Great poker legends had to grind it out every day for hours in order to get where they are today. So if you really want that type of skill, you’re going to have to make sure that you grind it out too. You’re going to have to plug the leaks in your poker game.

Leaks? Yep, you got it right — leaks in your poker game are really going to slow you down before you can even push forward. If you have critical mistakes in your poker game, you’re not going to win as often as you should. Poker has been said to be a game of percentages in motion, meaning that the math can either work for you or work against you. It’s just a matter of fixing your poker game from the very beginning.

We’ve identified 6 poker mistakes that can really wreck your game — why not stay with us a moment while we count those down?

1. Not Folding Enough — wow, if there was ever a mistake that we had to point out, it would have to be not folding enough. If you aren’t going to fold often, then you’re going to bind yourself to pots that aren’t going to be winnable. Do you really want to just hand your opponents all of your chips? Wouldn’t you rather make them fight you for each and every one? That means that when you know you don’t have anything, you need to just go ahead and fold. It would be a lot easier on your wallet if you folded. A lot of people don’t see it that way, but then again not everyone is playing poker seriously, either.

2. Not Raising Enough — if not folding enough is a problem, then not raising enough has to be a problem. Picture this — how many times have you been at a table where everyone seems to be limping in and you’ve got a great hand? It’s time to start betting, instead of calling. You become a calling station and you can kiss those big pots goodbye. Don’t wait for other people to raise — be the aggressor yourself. If you’re only playing premium hands that have good odds with few cards that can rise up against them, then you’re going to have to start thinking about raising. That’s how you win bigger pots. If you only limp in all the time, all you’re going to win are the blinds and that isn’t going to make you chip leader anytime soon.

3. Not Handling Your Emotions Properly — The thing that you have to realize is that tilt is definitely real. If you’re not in control f your emotions, then you’re not going have a very good poker game. You’re going to find yourself being unable to actually get things done quickly, which means making money. Winning pots. Pushing your opponents into submission. The world of poker is a psychological one, and yes, there are some pretty ego-filled people. They’re confident in their own abilities. What abilities are you confident in? Exploit them to the fullest on the poker table. And if you’re playing to win and you’re having a bad day, it’s better to walk away than try to play your best poker when your heart and mind aren’t in it. The night your girlfriend leaves you for another man is not the night where you want to try to play high stakes poker, that’s for sure! Master your emotions and stay calm under pressure and we guarantee you’ll make more money than the hotheads.

4. Not Mixing It Up — Are you always playing a tight-aggressive game? We hate to break it to you, but if you’re always playing tight, you’re going to run into a point where everyone knows this. This means that when you explode pre-flop with a good raise, everyone is going to fold. They will realize that you have a good hand and they’re not going to want to give their chips. Sometimes you might have to fold good hands just to throw people off. Or you’ll need to bet hard with hands that aren’t as good, just to mix it up at the showdown. If you can change your image, then people are going to realize that they can’t just make assumptions about you.

5. Not Catching The Hidden – Hidden straights, three of a kind potentials, full house potentials and more are just part of the way the cards fall on the table. You always need to be looking at not only what you could make, but what everyone else could make on the board as well. You don’t want to assume you have the nuts when you really don’t. Your opponent could have a better nut hand than you. This should play into your strategy as well. If you don’t have the best hand, then why are you betting hard? Just something to think about. And if you do have something hot, the last thing that you want to do is give up — play it out. Even if you lose, it’s a lesson that you can study for later.

6. Assuming You Know It All – this would have to be our last and best mistake that we see poker players make all the time. They come into forums automatically thinking that they’re the masters when in truth, their poker game has a lot of things that could be improved. You have to know your positions. You need to know your card odds as well as pot odds. You need to know when to fold. You need to know when to go all in. You need to be able to manage your bankroll. These are core skills that you have to gain in order to move higher and higher up the ranks. The Internet never forgets, so if you come in as a hothead, it’s going to be hard to change your first impression — if you ever can. You’re going to have to come in humble, ask for help, and be willing to change your game. Thinking more and being more aware rather than being rash and emotional is the name of the game.

Overall, these are just a few poker mistakes that come up. What do you think? What leaks do you have in poker, and how are you going to fix them?

Responding to Raises In Poker Games With Grace and Strategy

admin

Are you aggressive yet? We’re not just talking about growling and flexing your arms — that’s for the gym, not the poker table! However if you’re really going to do great things in poker, you still have to look at the game from every angle possible. Getting good at poker is something that takes some time, but when you want to get better at playing the game seriously, you have to invest the time. You have to make sure that there’s really nothing stopping you from getting the jump on other players, and part of that strategy path means that you will have to learn how to respond to raises.

Ah, raises — it’s the poker version of walking up to someone with flexing your muscles as hard as you can. It’s an intimidation move no matter how you look at it. Bluffers want to raise when they feel that they can scare you right out of a pot, and people with monster hands want to give you the impression that they don’t really have anything good. This way, you’ll keep putting chips into the pot, which means that you’re going to end up either winning at random (unless you yourself have a monster hand, then it’s the battle of the monsters — look out, Tokyo!), or you’re going to lose horribly.

Sometimes it’s going to be worth it to re-raise, and other times it’s going to take a firm hand to say enough is enough and back out of the hand — with most of your chips intact. Far too often new players think that they have to stay in no matter what, and this causes them to lose chips. They think that if they don’t raise, the entire table is going to think that they’re wimps and that’s just not the case at all. It takes a very strong poker player to realize that they can’t just jump into every pot and ride it to the end. That would mean losing chips a lot more often, and who wants to lose chips that much?

So how do we know what to do? Here’s what you need to know.

Most people are most concerned with how to deal with raises that come pre-flop. After all, when someone raises before the flop even comes down, that must mean that they have a killer hand, right? Not so fast.

First, you should really make sure that you are looking at your hand. If you have a nice high pocket pair, it’s good to stay in. If you have connective cards like 8-7, you might want to stay in as well — especially if they’re suited. You don’t want to just finch and freak out because someone raised. That’s what they want you to do. They want to make you stop thinking, and that’s really the beginning of the end with poker. Once you stop thinking and start running on emotion, your opponents will take all of your chips. Oh, it might not be this game, but there will come a game where you lose everything simply because you weren’t willing to really pay attention.

The other people might just be raising to see what you’ll do. Everyone knows that a player’s reactions from the basic nature that they’ll take on for the rest of the game. If you always fall back when someone raises, they’re going to use that pattern to bluff you.

There are going to be times where you need to approach the situation head-on. If it’s a matter of raising before the flop, you will want to go ahead and rise to the occasion. There are even times where you will want to actually re-raise them — like when you have a good hand. Even when you don’t have a good hand it can be smart to re-raise just to throw them off. It’s also a matter of looking at your chip stack compared to someone else’s chip stack.

No matter what happens on the board, you will always want to make sure that you treat your fellow poker players with respect and dignity. It’s just a game — review it later and spot your mistakes, then correct course. Getting angry only sets you up for a bad cycle of poker, and really — in this day and age, who truly wants to deal with that? The time is now to refine your poker game, but the only way to really do that is to get started playing online poker today!

Hang Loose – Playing Loose At an Online Poker Table

admin

Strategy, strategy, strategy — that’s all we seem to talk about lately. However, if your poker resolution right now is to make more money, then it really does need to be all about strategy. You really do need to make sure that you’re really thinking about the type of strategy you employ at the poker tables. While some of you believe in just playing with your gut, it’s statistically unfavorable for you to do that. You’ll end up making bad calls and getting frustrated when you can’t seem to figure out just how to get those winnings that you want so badly. Not even rakeback can reclaim a bad strategy gone even worse, so you will need to make sure that you’re starting from the very beginning with smart strategy. The last thing that you really want to do is end up not being able to really get things taken care of because you’re so scared to make the right calls.

When you’re sitting down at a poker table, you might stop and think about the type of playing style that you want. While you might think that playing tight is always your best answer, all it really does is allow players to categorize you and then work their strategy around your game play. This is one of the more advanced topics to pull off, but people really can do it with the right amount of assistance. You have to really stop and make sure that you’re going to be able to have a profitable run in poker, and you can’t get profitability if you’re not thinking about your poker games from every angle.

The opposite of tight play is loose play, but when most people talk about loose players, they’re talking about people that just jump into any hand. You can play a lot of hands and still not wander too far away from your tight roots. The name of the game here is to throw off your opponents by mixing up your style. The last thing that you really want to do is end up being unable to make any big move son the table because everyone already knows you’ve got a monster hand — which is why they’re folding. The only pots they leave you are these weak and wimpy pots that aren’t going to do you any good — and they’re certainly not going to make you rich by any stretch of the imagination. It’s just a matter of looking at the big picture and acting accordingly — what would you rather have, consistency or failure?

poker strategy

If you really want to pull off smart loose play, you will need to make sure that your starting hands really do have a chance. Trying to play 7-2 off suited is only going to be a recipe for failure — it doesn’t matter that some big poker player before you won with that hand. It’s just not going to work well for you so you will want to make sure that you still employ common poker playing sense.

There’s nothing wrong with making sure that you will be able to dominate the poker board in a few different ways. Mixing up your play is the best way to go, but we do have to bring back our old friend the psychological battlefield.

Poker is also a game of the mind and when it come sot this arena, you will need to consider that other people are watching you in ways you might not expect. Ever felt it strange that your opponent seems to always know when to fold just when you get a little paint in your hand? You might chalk it up to chance, but chances are equally good that you’re silently tipping them off. Make sure that even when you decide to play online games that you’re not giving off tells through your actions. Players remember patterns — at least advanced players do!

Overall, a loose game doesn’t have to be something that you play all the time — you don’t want to turn into a calling station or anything crazy like that. However, with the right circumstances, going a little loose-aggressive can really up your poker winnings over time!

Basic Rules of Poker – Hand Rankings

admin

Millions of random people play poker everyday, either online or offline. Besides for being the most popular card game, it is certainly the most entertaining as well. What is so special about this game is that it involves playing, risking and acting.

Nevertheless, learning the basic rules of poker can sometimes be hard for some, especially when it comes to learning the hand rankings. But in reality, memorizing the hand rankings is a lot simpler than it seems to be on the first sight.

The most valued hand ranking is the Straight Flush which brings together five successive cards of the same suit. The highest ranked Straight Flush hand is called Royal Flush which contains 10♣, J♣, Q♣, K♣, A♣ (not necessarily of this suit, but they must belong to the same suit). If two or more players have a Straight Flush, the player with the highest ranking cards wins.

The Four Kind hand combines four cards of the same rank but with different suits. In the event of two players having the Four Kind hand, the player with the highest ranking combination wins. If the two players have the same combination, the fifth card (called the kicker) is used to declare the winner.

The Full House is a combination of three cards of the same rank and two other cards of the same rank. For instance, a Full House would be A♠, A♣, A♥, 9♦, 9♦. If tied, the highest matching three card pair wins.

The Flush, which is different from the Straight Flush, consists of five cards belonging to different ranks but that are suit-matched. For instance, K♠, 8♠, 5♠, 3♠, 2♠ is considered a flush. If there is a tie, the player with the highest ranking cards wins.

Another important hand is Straight which is formed by five consecutive cards that do not belong to the same suit. Three of a kind is another hand formed by three ranking-matched cards and two other cards that do not match. On the other hand, Two Pair is formed by two pairs of the same hand ranking and another unrelated card. For instance, 10♣, 10♠, J♥, J♠, 5♦ would be a two pair hand.

Similar to Two Pair, the One Pair hand is formed by one pair and three unrelated cards. An example for this would be 8♣, 8♠, Q♥, 7♣, 5♦. Last (and in our case the least), High Card is a hand formed by five unrelated cards. If two players have the same hand, the player with the highest ranking cards wins the game.

I believe this concludes the hand rankings you should know before playing poker. It might take a little time to get used to these at first but if you keep practicing, over time you will learn them effortlessly.

Calculating your odds on Texas Holdem

admin

A casual question that most poker players have asked at least once is, “Is there any secret that shows you how to win in Texas Hold ‘Em?” and my answer would be, no, there isn’t. But a huge help would be evaluating your hand strength as soon as possible. For some, calculating the odds of winning sounds very complicated but it really isn’t.

Before going any further, we should clear up a few things. Firstly, you should know that even if you compute your odds and they say you’re good to go, it does not necessarily mean that you’re going to win. It’s what you do after that determines if you will win or not.

Having that in mind, you should evaluate your hand and if it turns out to be weak, you ought to bluff others into folding. On the contrary, if you have a strong hand, you should appear weak and trick others into betting large amounts of money.

You should firstly understand what outs are all about. The out cards in poker are all those which have not been drawn yet and if they do, they will improve a player’s hand. In other words, they are cards which will help a player win by creating a strong hand.

Counting the outs is a method proven to help poker players. In order to count, a player should be very attentive and alert to see all the cards that have been drawn. The more outs there are on the deck, the better are the chances of winning the game. Counting is easily done but the player has to be very visual to do it correctly.

Now let’s take a look at the odds of an out card being drawn. Let’s imagine there is only one out on the deck and one card is going to be drawn. The odds for the out card to be drawn are 2%. Not so good, huh? If there are going to be two cards drawn, the odds in that case would be 4%. But if there are 15 outs and two cards will be drawn, the odds will be ~54%. That’s better.

There is a method of calculating the odds for the out card to show up. If there are five outs and one card will be drawn, you have to multiply the number of outs (in this case five) with two and you will get the odds (~10%). If there are going to be two cards drawn, you have to multiply the number of outs with four (in this case, five times four = 20%). These calculations can be quite helpful and are the best way to help you decide whether you should bet or withdraw.

The most common terms in Texas Holdem

admin

Many years ago, it occurred to me to become very irritated when I heard poker-related terms. “All in”, “raise the wager”, “check raise” and all others became very frustrating to hear, especially since I was complete beginner when it came to poker. All this was because I did not know how special poker is, and especially Texas Hold ‘Em.

But after I decided to give poker a chance, these words began to sound like a beautiful medieval sonnet (no, seriously!) and I had realized that these terms were not so bad after all. If you plan to begin playing poker, or if you want to catch up after not playing poker for some time, it’s very crucial to look into the most common poker terms.

Probably the most common terms that you will hear during a poker game are “call”, “raise”, “check” and “fold”. Assuming you know the basic rules of poker, calling can be easily explained as betting the same amount as the maximum bet so far. Raising, as the name suggests itself, means raising the current maximum bet. The amount of raising can vary from the Texas Hold ‘Em version being played.

Checking on the other hand means to pass and allow the other players to declare whether they want to bet or withdraw. After they declare, it is your turn to do the same thing. Checking is extremely useful when trying to raise the opponent’s maximum bet; “check raising” is the term coined for this particular move.

Last but certainly not least, folding is a term that means withdrawing from the betting series. Folding can happen for a wide variety of reasons, either for not having enough money to meet the minimum, or for not letting other players know you’ve got something good going on. One thing you should bear in mind is that if you fold, you will not participate on the current hand and will not receive any share whatsoever.

All in is the term used when players decide to bet all the money they have. While putting the money all in is allowed in almost all versions of Texas Hold ‘Em, there a few games which disallow it. You should also know what the pot is – it’s the specific spot on the table where the bets are placed.

While these are some of the most common terms you will encounter during a Texas Hold ‘Em game, there are many others which are also incredibly important. But learning these mentioned essential concepts is the first thing you should do before even observing a game, let alone playing. Last, you should definitely consider seeing many games before participating so that you can get familiar with the game.

The different versions of Texas Holdem – Which one suits Me?

admin

The poker game Texas Hold ‘Em is thought to have been invented back in the early 1900s in Robstown, Texas and yet, it has become a massive hit just lately. What has made this game even more unique is the fact that there are various methods of playing, which means it’s pretty hard to get tired of this game. In fact, a little diversity only makes the game better.

The point of Hold ‘Em is quite simple – to make it through all the betting rounds and to make sensible decisions. While most versions of Hold ‘Em have the same or similar rules, it might differ slightly when it comes to the amount of betting. Nevertheless, the most common versions of this game include Limit, Spread Limit, Pot Limit and No Limit.

The Limit version is perfect for those who play poker purely for fun and do not take it too seriously. As the name suggests, the players have a set limit as regarding to the betting amount they can place. In this version, players are limited to raise the bet by a fixed amount of money. If for instance the first player places a bet of $5, the other player can call the bet, or raise it by exactly $5 and so on.

The Spread Limit poker game is quite similar to Limit, but it’s even more “restricted”. In this version, the players have to specify the minimum and maximum amount of raising, thus leading to a more controlled game where the players can know almost precisely how much they’re going to spend or earn.

On the other hand, the Pot Limit can have a more unexpected outcome since the players are allowed to raise the bet by the total amount in the pot. While this game might be a lot exciting for some who like to play “by the edge”, for others it might be a little risky because the game is very unpredictable.

The best poker version to keep the adrenaline flowing is No Limit which is the least predictable game of all. The version is somewhat similar to the others, except there is no maximum raise and some players might even decide to go all in (bet everything they have).

While poker attracts millions of players every day, it is very advisable to make reasonable decisions when deciding which Texas Hold ‘Em version to play. While the game is very tempting and fascinating, it is never a good idea to play the game with huge amounts of money. But luckily, there are always “controllable” Hold ‘Em versions to play which are just as interesting as the others!
