Play
Winning Poker Online By Following These Guidelines
by: Ray Bonneau
To
consistently win at poker you must not make many mistakes,
and exploit your opponents mistakes and weaknesses. I know
that No Limit Hold'em is the most popular form of poker,
but if you want to play cash games (ring games) online I
would suggest playing limit hold'em. Many people make mistakes
at limit poker and it can be really profitable for you to
take advantage of those mistakes. This isn't to say that
you are going to win money every session or even go on an
extended losing streak but you should be a long term winner.
Limit poker will also limit your downside if your opponent
hits a weak draw to beat you. In No Limit games you can
get all your money in on a hand you have a high percentage
of winning, but there are times that your opponent will
hit a miracle card and really damage your bankroll.
Here
is a list of rules to play poker profitably
* Learn the math behind poker - Learn about odds and probabilities
and how to use them in poker. This will give you an advantage
and make profitable decisions. Read about Odds and Probabilities
and look at the Odds Chart
* Learn about table position - Learn about early, middle,
and late positions at the poker table. You should play very
few hands from early position and more hands from late position
because you are more apt to bet last in late position
* Don't play a lot of hands - You should roughly be playing
20%-25% of your hands depending on the type of table you
are playing. Check out the starting hands guide
* Find a loose table with weak players - Find a table with
a high percentage of players seeing the flop and staying
in hands on draws
* Find calling stations - Find people who will keep calling
all the way to the river to a showdown. These are players
that make many mistakes
* Stop playing if the table dynamics change - It's easy
to change tables or stop playing online. If the table dynamics
change (different players, less/more players) to something
you are not comfortable playing then stop playing or find
a new table
By
following these simple guidelines your poker game should
be much more profitable than before. With the explosion
of poker today, finding a good table is very important to
winning more money. I have more in depth information on
