These days there is a lot of Texas Hold'em to watch on cable TV as well as a great deal of increased new interest in the game. "Texas Hold'em" (commonly shortened to just plain "Holdem") is the most popular of all poker games. It's current popularity makes it readily available to play at all levels, both in regular and online poker rooms, and the best game to study and learn to play first. You can learn a lot about how to play like a pro by paying close attention to the Holdem poker shows on TV. There are also plenty of good books on how to win at Texas Holdem at all levels and a world of helpful information on the internet. Some of the best pages on the rules and basic strategy for Texas Holdem are right here on PokerSyte.com. . . Go to Texas Holdem and check it out. The information on the game is presented in a concise and easy to remember format with references to odds and other available Holdem info that can be found online. Before you challenge
the juiced up tourists and the cigar smoking Las Vegas "rocks"
at their home field, you might do well to consider this - . . Log on to
PokerStars
and practice online under casino game conditions first! . Knowing your
poker strategies is essential, but actually playing against average to
very good players is the only way to get sharp at betting your various
types of hands, compensating for certain game conditions, changing betting
positions, and such. If you want to get good at this game, then it's important to always play your best game and play to win, regardless of the betting level. I am recommending PokerStars for starting out because it offers a lot of very low limit games that are sort of hard to find on the internet. . In their "Micro" limits group, you can play at limits as low as .02/.04 (pennies). . Stay in these low limits until you usually win more than you lose, then move up to the next betting level and start over. . . Again, all the things you read and learn about the game are very important, but they don't hold a candle to time in the trenches, actually playing real money games against good players. :: |
