Here’s some stuff that has helped me put some additional money in my wallet.
Tip # 1 Here’s a great way to tell if you suck at poker (in case your not positive), Keep a spread sheet!!! Starting now log your wins and losses, dates etc… Even who you played with if you want to truly maintain track of what’s going on with your game. If you play a lot It’ll be pretty clear if you require to adjust your game or not, or possibly locate a group of friends who are playing on the very same level as you (beginner, advanced etc), cause finding as excellent as those guys who are consistently beating you is gonna get pricy! The school of hard knocks sucks, which brings be to my next tip.
Tip # 2 READ A BOOK!!! No not “To Kill a Mockingbird” a book on poker by an individual who appears to win a lot, your Daniel Negraneaus, your Phill Helmuths, Doyle Brunson, ANY BOOK!!! These guys aren’t winning consistently because they’re lucky. They’ve been there carried out that and you can’t put a cost on experience. So take bucks and go get a poker book! Daniel Negraneau says “The day you admit you do not know every little thing about poker is the day you truly commence learning something”.
Tip #3 Practice!!! Go log on to Full Tilt and open an account, try to play tournaments with your make believe chips, why tournaments? Individuals tend to play tighter if they know that in order to cash they have to finish in the top 2 or 3. On line for fake chips individuals are total idiots and it becomes Bingo not Poker in “fake money games” if anything you’ll get sucked into playing like a donkey trigger “Hey, that guy just pushed all in with 7-three off suit and won, why can’t I?” Cause you unlike him are attempting to get far better.
If you are usually playing a house game with four to eight folks in your weekly game, then don’t get all crazy in a 27 man tournament. Simulate your weekly game, use what the Pro’s told you and what knowledge you have and develop your game.
Tip#four Set limits for yourself! Hold’em is a sick perverted game in which you are consistently trying to take other people’s money, God I really like this game! But if you walk into a friendly cash game with dollars be prepared to walk out without it. At the end of the night you walk to your vehicle, cry on the way house, wonder how much of that 0 your gonna tell the wife you lost, but hey nobody made you push all in with pocket 3’s, you lost, Accept it. Even if you feel you did everything correct, you still are gonna have those nights. Only risk what your willing to lose.
Tip# 5 No book can teach you this one…but it is soooo essential. PATIENCE!!! If you have it then your probably a far better poker player than most of your buddies so cheers.
So there I am, I’m card dead, I forgot what a face card looks like and I’ve had 4-10 no much less than 6 times in the last hour, well I can do 1 of two issues, Get up and walk out or, wait for some cards. I suggest acquiring up and leaving but that’s no fun! So be patient and wait for a decent hand. It also puts folks on high alert that if your in a hand you almost certainly lastly got some thing so play that K-Q aggressively.
May the Nutz be with you!
