Poker Guidance

Let's face it, playing poker is fun. The problem is, if you play long enough, but do not win, it is not as fun anymore. The excellent news is, with some poker online - Suggested Web site - tournament strategy, it may become fun again, and bringing home additional money than it cost you to play starts to make it big fun!

If you were like me and started to play for the fun of it, maybe purely in social situations, sometimes it cost you to play. And again, since it was social, you probably did not mind much. Until you realized that the same people were bringing home the pots, but never you. In which case you wondered why which is. After all, you had as much a possibility at bringing home the winnings because they did. Or did you?

The more I played, and lost, the greater I pondered this in my mind. How are these guys doing it? I mean, Lady Luck is handing out the cards and yeah maybe they know a little more about when to bet, raise or fold, but for the most part every hand is unique, with different players in at any given time, now how are these guys having any degree of consistency? Yet they were.

After reading up on several of the Pros and really watching my friends closer it became a lot more obvious to me. My friends play poker like the Pros while they had a strategy. They had an overall strategy built on sound fundamentals every hand had! I could not believe it when this became clear to me. Then I thought, well why would not they, this is a sport in the end, and with every successful athlete there was a strategy. The key, I believed was that each player was still unique in their thinking and as a consequence their style unique also. Similar to any Olympic athlete I suppose. Each competing athlete had sound fundamentals that the rules usually guided, but each one had their very own flair if you will.

As I educated myself more on the fundamentals, I figured out that there are actually distinct situations to make distinct kinds of moves. The Pros all know this and craft their overall strategy around it where openings within the play allowed them to be more aggressive or typical of their flair. I noticed this too in my friends and started to catch on to their "tells".

For this reason, once I became seriously interested in wanting to have more wins under my belt, the very first two things became clear to me. Learn all the fundamentals of the game, then use that to craft my overall strategy, or flair!
