Texas Hold Em Poker
Texas Hold Em Poker
No limit Hold Em Poker is the most popular poker game in the world today. You can find Hold Em poker in Las Vegas and in every casino down there, but if you want to get into the action you're going to have to learn a little bit about the game. First, let's make some assumptions. You're playing No Limit Hold Em poker with a standard 52 card deck. That means that you're holding two pair, three of a kind, four of a kind, five of a kind, sixes, 7 of a kind, 8 of a kind, 9 of a kind, 10 of a kind, Jack, Queen, and King. Okay, so shame on you if you don't have aces as those are the best. By the way, suits aren't important in poker; they're just notation for the Ace.
You're also going to need at least one deck of cheap cards, like for example two cheap poker or instant scratch cards. Once you get a hand, you better be ready to get away from the hand as fast as you can. The reason why you have to get away as soon as possible is you're likely to lose the hand. You have to fold as soon as you see possible straights or flushes on the board. You're also likely to get bored and perhaps play a hand just to try and get one more bettors money.
What is the objective of poker? If you want to maximize your return or ROI, you should learn what to maximize your odds and ROI. The best way to learn poker is to analyze your own game and figure out what you could have done differently in the same situation. You should learn by doing this. Not by watching ESPN or other poker shows. This is why these tracks are so important, because they allow you to see the whole picture, including how a player plays in a poker tournament, game play, etc.
Let's take this example for example, you're in the small blind and last to act. There's a potential flush showing on the board. What you want to do is check and hope that your opponent bets enough for you to chase down your flush. You have a flush potential and should call any bet. However, you're playing very cautiously because you're the first to act.
If your opponent is a tight or loose passive, the situation will entirely depend on what they're holding. If they're tight, you have a much better chance of beating them hand for hand. If they're loose, you're almost always going to have at least a couple of outs to beat them at their own game. In this case, since your tight opponent is also holding quite a few draw cards, you should call the blind and take down the pot. Now, in the big blind you have aces. It's a little bit more difficult to decide what to do, but in most cases you'll want to chase out a small bet and take down the small blind. This brings us to the point of the article: you want to play tight in the small blind and loosen up in the big blind. Not all the time, but usually towards the end of the event when the majority of the players will be done, you want to be either in the money or in the cutoff. It will help you in the later stages to have a smaller chip stack in the small blind, so you can be in position to take down pots more often.
Late Stages- TAKE DOWN THE BETS
As the blinds go up, and as the online poker tournament progresses, you should start to play more and more tight in the small blind. One of the biggest mistakes a casual player can make in the later stages of a sit and go is to play too tight.
In the small blind, there's no chance of getting blinded out on the table because everyone behind you is going to play tight. Therefore, why tighten up? You'll lose your chips to people who are making stupid calls, and to people who are making desperation holds. Don't play tight in the small blind, especially when you're the small blind.
Moreover, in the big blind, people are going to be a lot more aggressive because they've built their stack well. Thus, you should play a lot more risky in the big blind during the latter stages of the event. Hit big pairs and breaks with pocket pairs. Bet aggressively against players who are playing pretty tight.
Final Rounds- CASH!
Hopefully, you made it to the final rounds of the event. Once there is final rounds of betting, play as you normally would in a final rounds of a tournament. Play aggressively, but remember to play tight. Take control of the tournament at your own time. Winning is always more fun than losing.
