How To Be A Better Poker Player
How To Be A Better Poker Player
Every poker player should want to improve their game whether they prefer to play online or offline. The simple steps and tips which follow in this article can help anyone, regardless of ability, win more pots and be more successful.
Remember that no matter how good you think you are that there is always someone better than you. Accept this from the off. Find your level and stay with it until you are showing a profit and a solid player at that level. If you are making enough at your level think about not moving up a notch and stay where you are making money.
Iron discipline is one of the key requirements for a successful poker player. Be strong willed at all times and learn to brush off the bad luck which will inevitably come your way. Know when to fold your hand and do it. Do not get attached to a hand - unless it is the nuts of course - and think you have a divine right to win because your pocket aces cannot be beaten after the flop. They can.
Do not play too long and avoid alcohol when playing. Tiredness and drink cause mistakes to creep in and poor judgment. Be fresh, alert and sober. There's so much poker available to play online you can pick and choose your times to suit yourself. No need to stay up until the early hours for just one more sit and go tournament. Go to bed and hot the tables the next morning after a good night's sleep.
Roll with the bad times. There will be occasions when the cards go against you and nothing goes right. Learn to accept this as part of the game and do not go on tilt to get yourself out of it as chances are you will be in a deeper hole. If you hit bad luck and cannot catch a break then take a break. Leave the table or if in a tournament tough it out and wait for a good hand or an opportunity to bluff.
Now a very important one. Always keep your poker money and your real life money completely separate and never, dip in to your real life money to fund a dwindling poker balance. If you do it is very easy to get in to trouble and not have enough to pay the rent, mortgage, bills or whatever. Play within your means at all times and have fun doing so. The last thing you need are money worries.
Put these tips together and you can improve your game and always play within your means having fun at the sane time. I wish you nothing but good luck at the tables.
