Add bad poker players to your buddy
list
Playing poker is much nicer to play
against bad players than good players. If you find a bad player add
him/her
to your buddy list. Looking at your buddy list occasionally you will
notice
if he/she is playing or coming into a poker table. Using 'search
player'
is easy way to find your buddy. Then double click a table where your
buddy
player is and start gambling. Some players have chosen an option "Hide
me from search". Search option does not show you where these players
are
but tells you if they are online. Take the advantage of deposit bonuses
Casino poker sites are offering different kinds of deposit bonuses.
These
bonuses are worth to utilize. Why to avoid taking advantage of them if
you are playing at a web site anyway...
Write notes of all players
I can not stress this too much. Make
notes! If you find a player playing poker a certain way, repeating this
way again and again, make notes for yourself. There are so many players
that nobody can remember the weaknesses and strengts of each poker
player.
At least write notes about good/bad players.
Use 4-coloured card deck
Why? It is worth to use four colored
card deck if you are playing at more than one table simultaneously.
Almost
every player has done a mistake reading a card that is not you wanted
to
be. Especially in the end of long poker session this is very important.
So use 4-coloured card deck.
Sneak out a hand history what your
buddy played
This is a nice feature if available
so use it. This way you can learn the way your 'friends' are playing
poker.
If a game goes to show-down but your buddy hits his/her cards to deck
it
would be nice to see what cards he/she was playing.
Do not pay extra blind
Start playing poker at a table from
big blind. There is no point to hurry and pay an extra blind to start
playing.
But acting this way some players may think that now there came a pro
playing
poker. You can relieve this effect by paying that extra from button or
cut off.
Play all 'free' hands
When you are going to end up your
game at a table do not waste your payed blinds. Leave a table only at '
under gun' (first seat after blinds). Be careful using auto-post-blinds
button. It is better to push off playing your final rounds.
Observe players one round
If you are playing just one table
and there are only unknown players at a table it is good idea to
observe
those players one round. In other words let blinds pass once (you are
'sit-out')
so you can observe the way or style players are playing. You can also
make
notes during this warm-up round.
Keep your computer speakers' volume
on
A man is a curious thingi.He uses
his/her every instincts analysing different situations. When you keep
computer
voices on that feedback information coming through your ears can
complete
that what you see. But in long term these voices can also harm you so
remember
not to play too long.
Learn to leave table
You must pay attention to leaving
a game at a certain table. Are there a lot of new players? Are those
players
good or bad? It is not use to trying get back your losses (you start
playing
bad), just quit. If that game is going to be short-handed it is better
to leave if you can not play it properly. It is quite different game to
play than long-hand game (full table).
Make big enough buy-in
In limit games this has no effect
in tactics but playing pot and no limit games this has a big meaning.
But
it is still important to make your buy-in big enough. There is no point
to get a situation where you flop your full hand and you do not have
enough
money to take full advantage of that situation.
Do not be afraid of loosing money
If you are afraid loosing this pot
you are giving advantage to other players. So play just those money you
can loose and the size of game you can play at your best without
fearing
anything.
Do not play $5 sit-and-go
There is no problem if you do not
have money. Go at least one size bigger tables (sit-an-go) because at
$5
table rake is $1 ( 20%) and at $10 table rake is $1 (10%).
