Poker Tips And Strategies

March 27, 2010

I don’t know about you but when I hear the word poker, the things that get into my head are money, strategies and bluffing. Let’s focus on those last 2 that I just mentioned. Now, weird as it may sound but studying winning strategies for poker is very complex, you got to have experience in doing so. Given that you already know the basics of poker let me lay down some quick poker winning strategies. I have added some links below to the best poker strategy related sites for a variety of poker games:

For this one you got to have a good memory and well, analytical skills. One of the oldest and very effective winning strategies for poker is “mind reading”, not as easy as it sounds but it’s possible. You might be saying that mind reading is hoax and well of course it is, that’s why i had two quotation marks on what we have above. “Mind reading” is a poker winning strategy that is actually a composition of experience with people, probability, and memory.

Poker is a game of chance, you get Two Kings at early game that’s good (most people would say). Obviously, for pairs the only one that can beat your hand would be two aces. But this is poker, you might get a full house, a straight, 2 pairs, or even a royal flush. Now try to analyze, which of those has the highest possibility? Try to analyze your opponents chance of winning.

Imagine that you are about to sit down and play poker, the moment that you do, examine each of your opponents. Their behavior, body language, what they say before and after every bluff or win, move they make. If you notice your opponent is the type of player that loves to bluff but always keeps a stone cold face? Note that down. That kind of player which likes playing it safe and doesn’t raise the bet, if he’s not sure he’s going to win, is a player who shows emotions. If you remember every aspect of how your opponent behaves, sure you may lose for an hour or so. They just wait, because after that you’ll own the table.

Beyond the extent of normal poker, how can you beat the game with the use of probability? How many percent of winning do you have on winning at a table of six players? Answer is 16%, now what if you have someone, a friend that can player one of those six players? You have 32 percent. Correct? Now this type of strategy is very experimental and prohibited on some areas, but it’s a good way to raise your probability of winning. This technique is very complex, hard to master and it almost crosses the line of possibility, but having an added 16% to your chance of winning? Well, it’s just simple math. I know a few people who have done this who came home and had three folds of what they had when they left.

However you look at the poker, at any other game, it’s just simple math. Never let your emotions get a hold of you instead, look at it in a logical way.
