POKER TIPS FOR IMPROVEMENT

Want to become a better poker player, Read these 10 tips and follow them to improve your poker game.

1. Don't Play Every Hand/ Fold more

The most common mistake a poker beginner makes is that they play too many hands. When you're just starting out playing poker, you just want to play poker, and that means staying or betting with hands that aren't very good,just to be part of the round.Playing more does not mean winning more,most of the time it means losing more. If you find that you are betting with all the cards dealt to you, you need to know which hands/cards are good to start with. The most important thing to learn when playing Texas Hold`em is to know which hand/card are worth staying with and which hands you should fold

2. Don't Play when Drunk

It is more relaxing to play while on alcohol,but most of the poker players loose their stack of chips because they had too much to drink,It`s ok if your just playing with friends and having fun,but if you are in a casino and playing with big time money you need to take control of the booze.

3. Don't Bluff Just to Bluff

Bluffing is one of the key elements of poker.It is one of the keys that make poker fun. Bluff means to bet or raise with a weak hand. Bluffing is an fundamental skill for a good poker player. Most beginner's know that bluffing is part of the game of poker, but do not know exactly how to bluff. There really is no exact rule that one must bluff during a poker game,but most players say you have`nt played poker unless you have`nt tried a poker bluff. Bluffs does not work all the time it only works in some situations & against some people, and if you know if a player likes to do the showdown,Most likely it will be hard to bluff that player. It's better not to bluff than to bluff "just to bluff."

4. Don't Stay in a Hand because you`ve place your bet

Another mistake of beginners make is to think that if they have placed their bets already they need to commit to the hand. No! You can't win a pot just throwing all your chips in. There are some cases when pot odds needs a call, but if you're know you beaten, and there's no way you can improve you hand, you must fold right away. The money that you have place as your bet is already part of the pot,you can`t get it by playing all the way to the end without good hands

5. Don't Play When in a Bad Mood

When playing poker, you should`nt play to be free being stressed or having a bad day. You start out playing emotionally, not rationally and you won't play your best. Likewise, if during a poker game, you lose a big bet and feel yourself going on tilt, its ok to stand up & take a break until you feel relaxed and composed to be able to play again. Most of the other players will watch your mood & take advantage of it.

6. Pay Attention to the Cards on the Table

When you start playing, it's always good to remember how to play and pay attention to your hand. But once you've seen your hand, it is important to look at what's happening on the table. Texas Hold`em figure out what the best possible hand would be to fit the flop(1st 3 cards dealt on the table) Make sure you notice all card possibilities;straight,flush,three of a kind etc.

7. Pay Attention to the Other Players

When you are playing poker, one of the best things you can do or learn is to study your opponents, even if your not part of the round. If you know how a player raises in a certain position, & another has a poker tell when he bluffs you can use that information to help you decide how to play against them. Once you know how other players play that's when you can bluff & steal a pot.
