Everything But The Weed

Even if you are only playing free online poker for fun it is, on principle very bad to hold your cards until the river to just see that you are losing. Plenty of poker players seem to like this kind of risky play, they like to be the wild man player and stick it out to the bitter end even on hands where they know there’s maybe only a 5% chance of winning! And if you are risking real money and not playing free poker games then it is a habit to get out of right now.

You may play that way though; however, mark out a list of approaches and procedures and then gamble based on why you are making the next move. Start to play like this all the time and you will be cured!

If you can’t stop being a wild poker player, you definitely won’t be capable of identify when you’re holding a winning hand until later than the last bets are put and the poker chips are decided.

If your aim is to become a master poker player and succeed in every possible situation which can probably arise during play you’ve got to be a systematic player and not a wild player.

Before you take any action when you play poker online think about these questions:

1) What are the probable best hands you can make with your cards?

2) What hands held can probably be superior than yours?

3) Is there a possibility of the other players cards being better than yours?

4) Can you bluff the best player to fold?

There may be situations where the five cards opened in the center of the table are all of the same suit. If so then it is clear that some one may well be holding a flush. You need to be alert to this and try to identify them.

Yet another situation is where the center five cards form a sequence of numbers with one missing number. For example, let the center five cards be 3,4,6,7,K. Clearly if another player has a 5 then they’ve made a Straight. You may have the highest pair or even two pair but, you need to be aware that it is highly probable that someone at the table is going to have a straight.

Recently I took a nasty loss at a table. The cards in the center were, 3,5,3,6,5 giving me a flush as two of my cards were diamond and three out of the five center cards were also diamond. Thinking that the Flush was very high hand I bet all my chips. But, my opponent had a full house with his hand 3,9 which gave him a 33355 full house. So we need to think consider what all are the best hands that could be made from a given set of five center cards are and if yours is not the best then be careful.

When you learn to play poker in this sort of systematic way you will absolutely, without a doubt, win a lot more poker. This does require practice of course, so if you are starting out or need to relearn then play free poker and practice first, decent free poker sites will have good how to play poker for beginners lessons and are a great way to learn the basics or get rid of bad habits with little or no loss before trying with real money.
