Things to Remember While Playing Poker

I have been playing Texas Holdem Poker for alomost around 4 years now. For me playing poker is not only about winning money, it’s more about fun. I love the fact that you can sit at one place play with players across the borders.

While playing be careful with some of the players as they attempt to wind you up. This is a well known tactic which some online players use, to entice you into betting to try to knock them out of the game. My advice in this situation is to ignore these people and not to reply to their comments.

The turnaround of hands is a lot quicker than when you play in a casino or with your friends and it is wise to pick and choose carefully which hands you play and which hands you fold. It is very tempting to try to make something happen by betting on a hand which in reality I know I should throw away. This is a risky strategy and you need to be patient as your time will come.

Most of the people who make money are the ones who play with patience. A lot of people can easily get bored and can soon see their money or chips dwindle away.

In the periods of gloom where you are not being dealt the good cards, keep yourself amused by watching the television, listening to the radio or by chatting to the other players.

On some tables you will find there are over aggressive players who will bet on anything and also raise to stupid levels. These players may win a lot of chips in a short period of time, however in the long run will lose many a times. You have to stick to your game plan and not get frustrated by these types of players.

See it may look like an easy way to make money as eventually it will come unstuck, hopefully to you.

Poker can become quite addictive; therefore only bet what you can afford to lose. Play the game as a hobby and enjoy it, you are more likely to win with this attitude. I know people who attempt to win a certain amount of money per night and then go chasing this figure if they start to struggle. This in my opinion is not a good idea.

Be Carm, Stick to your plan and do not get influenced that’s my advice......
