Poker step by step part 2: Cost Estimates 3-4

In the second part of this series on the different levels of consideration on which a poker player moves, we explain how the perception of these levels, your progress can influence. 

Level 3: As you read your opponents

It is about time that you make yourself think about your opponents probably guess which hand you. This will come in the phase in which the output is no longer a single source depends only on what cards you get. Up to that point gain or loss for you hung virtually exclusively on the quality of your cards.

To understand this level of calculation poker completely, you have to learn to read the texture of a board very carefully and to interpret the betting structure of a hand. You also begin to recognize tells and reading. If you can do this, you can really call themselves a good poker player.

Poker Step by Step Part 1: Cost Estimates 1-2

Poker is an interesting game, and especially Hold' em. Even someone who has never in his life has seen the game, it can learn within minutes. 

The game is very simple, yet also one of the most complex pleasures of the world. Although one can easily play Hold'em, but to control it, not many achieved after 40 years.

If you deal precisely with the game, it goes through several stages of knowledge and intellectual levels.Actually, as with all things, must learn that one.

Take for example the guitar. First of all you have to focus on where the fingers should be. After some practice, you know how does a couple of chords and consider which handle changes are needed to get from one chord to the next.

Rookie mistakes - it is not difficult to avoid

Poker is booming and several more. The growth rates are enormous and take more and more newcomers and their seats, mostly online.

Many still know relatively little about the game and are therefore more experienced players for so-called "dead money", so to speak, the money, after which you literally only have to stoop to it from the street auszuheben.Dabei you can with a few lessons already the learn basic knowledge and thus make itself the "ignorant" opponent.

Here are two brief thoughts that help one to avoid the worst mistakes and save you money:

The biggest secret in online poker

Of all the tips we have received over the years by professional players of a particular stands out: Stay at online poker patience! Everything depends on patience and this factor will decide in the end, whether you will make in your online play money or not. 

It is normal that sometimes you do not get good cards for weeks, and a good poker player learns to cope. It is well known that you can lose a lot of money if you play too high above your limit. If you learn not to play with patience, you can go even faster broke.

Professional poker players are extremely patient 

You will not find a professional poker player who is impatient, because poker is a game where you think the long term. Luck in poker is important, of course, to conclude a profit. But the best players know that the going in poker like the stock market: There are highs and there are lows, but if you have a good plan, it pays to remain stable and play evenly.

The fish call to increase the sharks

In limit, and even no-limit games you will often experienced that several players calling for a raise ... Sometimes you lose your hand if you go into such a pot. 

In limit, and even no-limit games you will often experiences that call for a raise several players ... Sometimes you will lose your hand if you go into such a pot. Do this, therefore, not a habit, since:

Callen shows weakness

The raiser usually holds the better hand

Do you have a good hand, it should be increased up to you. If you want to just call again and see the cards, you will have to see through easily. Of course there are exceptions to this rule: 

If you hold a Jack (Jacks) in hand and there were already two pre-flop raises, increase should only yourself if you want to bet on your next card, and more than a few people in the pot.

To the WSOP in Las Vegas or just the next casino. Poker on TV, wanting to try it yourself? You do not know how to start? Here is your 10-minute Texas Holdem crash course.

Every few months someone speaks to me and told me he wanted for a few days after the Las Vegas run, and then I hear every time the same question: "What advice can you give me about poker?"

Because this question of this article has emerged. So if you want to try poker times really, read it first, and your chances will increase dramatically.

Editor's note: We assume here that they are basic rules of Texas Hold'em are familiar with the. If you are not there to be sure you read the rules of poker .

Texas Hold'em - the starting hands cheat sheet

Before the profit added Texas Hold'em gods hand selection and the correct way of playing the set. Even a "premium hand" can become a disaster if they can not play properly. 

Since it is beyond the scope even of a novel to explain how each hand is played in every possible situation, we will consider first the main features of some key hands and the correct game.

Strong hand, small pot - Part 2: The mean hand

Some amateurs believe that hands can only win small pots with strong. That would mean of course that big pots with weak hands are won only. 

The rationale goes something like this:

"Increases and get called pre-flop is only with good cards, so more likely to hit with low cards and the flop to crack the good hands."

Although this is a logic that is based on a half-truth and at the border of the ridiculous is but the concept of weak hand, big pot is not as far-fetched. It is quite possible to scenarios in which the concept applies exactly.

Strong hand, small pot - Part 1: Their fault

First of two articles of an anti-thesis against Daniel Skolovys recent strategy articles "strong hand, big pot, weak hand, small pot. 

For the following discussion are now ready to order, please read this article .

Ready? So: How many times have you heard the following sentence? "With Pocket Aces win one small pot or lose big"?

If your answer is "never", you wait it only occasionally. It's just a matter of time.

The same players represented like the maxim that you should play in a raised multiway pot all low cards, and for the following reason:

"Players raise and call raises with high cards, thus increasing the chance that you meet with small maps and hits the high cards."

Both statements contain a grain of truth. It is even more than a grain. I would say that as much truth there is that I think it is wrong to label them as "wrong".

But I will now try to explain where the logic error that stuck in what and how it could come to them.

The combo draw on the flop

There are only a few draws, the flop have more equity than a made hand. Combo draws are so powerful that sometimes they are even favorites. In a combo draw means a draw of more than 12 outs. These Draws are so strong that they should be sharp allude to almost every flop.

Examples of Combo Draws:

• A pair of open-ended straight draw (13 outs against an over-pair)
• A pair with flush draw (14 outs)
• Gutshot straight flush draw (12 outs)
• Straight draw and flush draw (15 outs)
• The rare and precious open-ended straight flush draw

In each of these examples helps us more than a quarter of the deck to a better hand than an over-pair. Even the worst combo draws - the gutshot straight flush draw - against the over-pair has a 50-50 chance! For us, this means that we are behind even against monsters only slightly. Against average hands, we are clearly a favorite. Such hands must be played hard. For a good player it means a lot of money.

Big hand, big pot, weak hand, small pot

It is really quite simple if you flop a strong hand, wants to increase the pot. If you hold a weak hand, however, is attempting to keep small pot to. 

Many players make the mistake of building with no more than a couple big pots, only to fold to nnoch but if the bottom is too big.

I will now develop an alternative strategy and show you how to control the pot, if you have a rather weak hand holds, and how to build, if you hold a very strong hand. Let's look at the following example:

The game is played $ 1 / $ 2, and Hertzian the effective stacks are at $ 200 We get A K  on the button. The two players in the blinds are solid, tight-aggressive player.It is folded around to us and we will increase to $ 8th The small blind is paid, the big blind folds.

The flop is K  3  5  . The opponent checks and we put $ 15 The Gegnr paid. the turn is on the 6  . The opponent checks and we put $ 35 The enemy paid.

The river is on the 6  . The enemy is $ 100

Online Poker Legislation: The Year in Review

It was a roller-coaster year politically for Internet poker in 2010. The first half of the year was like a slow climb of anticipation up the track, then came the steep drop in June, a new high in July, another plunge in September and a series of loops in the final month.

Poker players got off the ride a little dizzy, slightly confused and standing virtually in the same place they got on.

There is no doubt that Internet poker made more progress on Capitol Hill in 2010 than ever before. Yet, it could easily be argued that the industry is worse off now than when the year began.
