Poker Tips
Do You Make These 7 Poker Mistakes?
By Rory Monahan
In my time as a card player, I've
found these 7 simple mistakes to be responsible for TONS of lost
pots and lost money...
Ultimately, if you make them, you'll
end up like the rest of the "suckers" out there.
Either that, or you'll give up at
poker (claiming that it's based on "luck"), and never play
again...
So, here are the seven mistakes to
avoid:
1. Getting Too Emotional
Don't let your emotions come out at
the card table!
It's easy to get "into" the
game, but you've got to practice self-control!
By staying cool, calm, and
disciplined, you'll be able to concentrate on your strategy and
winning the hand.
2. Focusing Too Much On The
Cards
Remember, poker is about the PLAYERS
rather than the HANDS. Sure, what cards you have is definitely
important, but the only way to consistently WIN Texas Hold 'EM poker
is if you are able to "read" the other players at the
table.
Study their habits, watch their
faces, observe their peculiarities... and THEN focus on your own
hand.
3. Folding Instead Of
Checking
Don't fold if you can check! Unless
it's part of some "bigger strategy" you've got going (like
the ones I talk about in my book), then it's silly to fold a hand
when you can just check instead.
4. Trying Too Hard To
"Fool" The Opponent
Many beginners try to deliberately
"fool" the other players by "acting" a certain
way.
This usually backfires.
Most people are good at reading body
language, and your pretending will only give you away.
A better strategy is to let your
ACTIONS fool the other players. Keep your poker face straight and
calm and let them fall for the bait by making bets or placing action
in ways that will confuse them.
5. Being Too Consistent
The easiest way to win easy money at
the poker table is to just study a person's habits for awhile, and
then take advantage of them hand-by-hand because they're so
predictable.
Don't be this kind of sucker!
If you make the same moves and same
bets at the table every time you play, other players will pick up on
it so fast that you'll be out of chips in no time.
Be "spontaneous" in a
calculated way, and be unpredictable. It will frustrate the other
players... and you'll win all their chips.
6. Not Adapting To The Skill
Level Of Others
Everyone knows that some of poker's
greats are most frequently beat by BEGINNING players at the card
table.
A lot of professionals refuse to play
with "newbies" because they know there's such a high risk
of losing and being embarrassed.
So how exactly can these beginners
beat these PROS?
It's simple.
The pros are SO MUCH BETTER at poker,
that they are actually FOOLED by how BAD these new players are.
The pros are USED TO playing against
other pros... which makes it difficult for them to even
"remember" how to play against beginners.
Every card table is different. You
need to learn how to adapt your game to each different situation...
Sometimes you'll have to increase the
complexity of your strategy. Other times you'll need to "dumb
down" the strategy and only focus on the habits of the players.
7. Not Getting Help.
You weren't BORN knowing how to play
Texas Hold 'Em. You were TAUGHT how to play.
The problem is, most players never
bother to take their skills to the NEXT LEVEL, by getting
professional instruction.
In less than a few hours, you can
increase your skill at this game TREMENDOUSLY.
You can win more pots... night after
night... and discover the secrets to making tons of cash playing
poker in your spare time.
