A good "all-around" poker
player knows how to play all these games well.
For those
eager to succeed as poker players and not already skilled all-around
players, a good time to start working toward that goal is right
now. Try going online and taking the various games one at a
time to study and learn to win. As you become proficient at
each game, add it into the group of games that you play regularly.
You will find that the new games offer all sorts of interesting
new challenges such as training yourself to remember which
cards are no longer live, strategic approaches to split pot
games, hand betting strategies, traps to avoid, etc.
I think that
most of the suggested games are harder to learn to play well
than Hold'em. But bear in mind that the more difficult a particular
poker game is to learn, the more profitable it is to the expert
player who has mastered it.
The "Great
Swami" here predicts that we will soon see a renewed interest
in the non-Hold'em poker games. . . . And, be it online, in
poker rooms, or in Friday night home games everywhere, there
will be a larger than ever number of multi-game experts and
all-around players who will be more than happy to give lessons. ::
