Before you
start playing – basic tips for beginners.
Do not panic
The
beginning might be a nightmare. Long list of tables, all the time something
comes up or moves. You are on the table and it is even worse – cards going
round on the table, tokens move between players very quickly, messages come up
on the screen, you have to pay for something, but you do not really know for
what. HELP!
Remeber,
all the chaos it is only the first ilusion. Do not start playing from the first
minute. You have got the time o do thet... On the internet you can play 24/7.
Take it easy. Go and have a look on the tables. Get to know the basic types of
poker, basic rules, go to the sectionon with the dictionary, it will be easy
and simple soon. After a few hours you will see that all the software is very
simple to use and you know who plays, how much money and what is going on on the
table. Whn you get more experienced you will play on more than one table.
Starts with freeroll
Freeroll is
a free tournament where the money is founded by the poker operator. It is
brilliant method without any financial risk to know how to play, how the
software works and to have first wins. Remember, it is not the best type of
poker, people often just play without conviction- they have nothing to lose.
Remember when all the crazy ones are gone and then earn some money.
Be patient and fussy.
Every good
poker player will count patients to the most important features of a good
player. Do not play king with 4, because king is a strong card. Wait until the
king will come up with the ther king or ace. Then attack. At the beginning in
hold limit your hands, which you will need to go to the hand: AA, KK, QQ, AK,AQ, AJ,JJ,10-10. If you will ot
beat it with the flop you can pay some more money to checkwith the lower pairs-
but if there will not be any card giving you 3, start thinking about evacuation
from the hand.
Do not get provoked
You have an
average card and some bastard gives all he has got on the table? The third time
in a row? Check or not? It is better not to check. Wait. Let himm off, you will
gt him in a minute. Get an order, strong one and let him bluff. You will have
his money with the double satisfaction. Bluffs and agressive beats leave for
professionals. Only this way you can become one of them....
Have enough money to play
You have $5
and you go on the table with 0.25/0.50? Counin for double money and then will
be better? Do not have any dreams. Sharks are waiting for the little fishlike you. Be sure that someone with $50 in
his pocket will ask you to play for everything. What then? Think it over. Start
with lower stakes and go on the table with max amount of money/ e.g. tables for
stakes 0.05/0.10 up to max 10$ buy-in/. Firstly, phisical comfort for you,
secondly – only this way you can maximalize your profits. You will get more if
you play good and having 10$ instead of paid in 2.50$.
Remember –
you will never win from one player more than you have on the table – it is
worth to have max.
Test mini-tournaments
From my
experience I know that the beginners like to play on one table tournaments/
Sit&Go or Single Tournament/. You can play for the money you want to spend,
the money you can afford to spend and have good time. Every player gets same
amount of tokens and the game starts, the aim of it is to eliminate all the
others. In opposite to the cash games to the multi tournaments you need more
time to play but it is worth for the beginning.
Do not play after drinking
Poker is
not a car, nobody can prohibit drink or two before your own desktop. Your
budget next day will feel worse that your head. You will start being
unbeatable, bluffing without any chance to win, you can disregard your
opponents’ stakes, going to the game with the wrong cards, etc. If you do not
believe that – ask poeple who have already playedfor a while. We cannot say any more to tell
you how it is.
Next hand in a few seconds
Do not
stick with your pair of 6, when the flop is on the king, ace, jack and the
company stats bidding. It is not worth doing. There is a chance or the third 6
by the end. Leave the optimism for the naive people. Let it off, next hand is
just comng...
Be fair to the fortune
Poker
player does not believe in luck or bad luck. Only the statistics exists. It can
be moody... if you want to play cards you have to sart forgiving her. If you
will get the lucky set of cards today and you will win the game – remember that
moment. And remember about that when your colour will go for your opponents’
full .... That is poker....
Do not take an example from the
very beginners
Someone has
just played against your A-A and stayed in the game with 7-2 and he got two 2
somehow? You are fuming furious and you want to play for your money back,
because ‘it is like a lottery’? For the short – it is. And for the long playing
they will put too much mone in. And you have your hand on it! Do not worry!
Play your game and you will get your profits. Make good decisions and the
statistics will pay you. Do not think how much he won now. You’d better think
how much he is going to lose in the next hundred of hands!
