Reading Your Opponents

Reading the other players may be to most important trick for beginning players. You
should start your "reading" by focusing on the other players for several hands. Are
they playing tight? Do they have any physical tells? How are they playing with their
chips? When do they play with their chips? Are they watching the other players?
How are they betting and when? Making metal notes on the behavior of the other
players and taking in the results of the hands will give you the advantage as the
game goes on.
What the other players are saying can help you in determining their hand strength.
Meaningless chatter may be a sign your opponent is trying to distract you from the
game. Weak players will become predicable with their conversations. They may be
aggressive and taunting when bluffing and quite when holding a strong hand. Over
the top verbal and body language is usually a sign of a bad hand or a good hand.
Remember, when you're reading your opponents, they're reading you. Be consistent
with your body language and facial expressions. Practice your poker face in front of
a mirror. Keep your mouth shut when playing a hand. Don't give your opponents
any help deciphering your play style, if everyone folds and you win the pot, don't
show anyone your hand.
Betting Mistakes

Poker is a game of chance and skill. Many new players make critical mistakes and
end up losing lots of money and looking foolish. Knowing the most common
mistakes and how to avoid them will help your poker playing and may increase your
winnings.
Top mistake #1. Going "all-in" early and often. Rookie players use the all-in bet
early in games to try to pick up some quick wins. It's a stupid way to lose everything
at the beginning of the game. The all-in bet can be used to get players to fold
quickly, but it should really only be used if you have a solid hand and could
possibly double your stack. Using the all-in bet wrong will end your game more
often than not.
Top mistake #2. Not betting enough. Don't be afraid to bet strong if you have a good
starting hand. If you have a good hand raise pre-flop, or bet high after the flop. Slow
playing good hands is a mistake more often than good playing because you won’t
end up winning as much money if you bet small. Betting strong will cause most
players to fold, you don't want players to stay in the hand and pick up a stronger
hand than yours. The smart players bet just the right amount to get it where only one
or two players call. In that case, your odds for winning are a lot better.
Top mistake #3. Betting too much. Rookie players make this mistake when they
have really bad hands or relay great hands. When playing a bad hand or a great
hand, they bet big trying to get the other players to fold (remember the all-in
mistake) or hoping the other players will throw away their money on the hand.
While this strategy will work on occasion, you give your opponents valuable
information on your play style and help them to play stronger against you.
Top mistake #4. Know when to fold them. Many new players fall victim to
themselves by not getting out of a hand when they should. The best poker players
are constantly watching other players, and guessing who could have better hands
than they have. Only call big bets when you know you have the best possible hand.
Don't try to bluff a bad hand by calling a big bet. Knowing the odds is key to
playing good poker.
Study your opponents and study the game of poker to better prepare yourself to win
instead of losing.
Texas Hold'em Odds

Many new poker players fail because they haven't studied the odds. This may be the
most challenging obstacle for players. With a 52-card deck, 6 players, dealer burn
cards, what are the odds you will hit a flush? What are the odds that one of your
opponents has a pocket pair and will hit a set (three of a kind) on the flop? The math
can be daunting and a lot of players just avoid it all together. Those players lose,
they lose a lot. This is just a primer on Texas Hold'em odds. Start here but don't stop
learning here, continue your poker math education.

Must See Tips From Professional Poker Players

Skilled poker players are consistently making hundreds to thousands of dollars a
day. Most of us don't have the connections to get 1 on 1 training from pro poker
players. But that's exactly where we need to get the best information. To start, you
should actually watch the pros in action, without taking any financial risks of your
own. Check out poker tournaments on tv and go to casinos to watch the tournaments
live. Of course, the internet is a treasure chest of knowledge. You can get a complete
poker education here.
Learning Poker Tells Is The Key To Success

Research has shown that the face is the most genuine part of our bodies. Facial
expressions can and will betray you and your opponents. The more you know about
reading your opponents facial tells the more pots you'll win, the less money you'll
lose, and the more success you'll have concealing your own emotions. Another
important part of physical tells, is that they aren't always accurate. You have to gain
skill in deciphering real tells and “fake” tells. You can find the top secrets of using
tells to win more money at the poker table right here.

Playing The Flop, The Turn And The River

What you do after you have seen the cards you've been dealt can be a money
making or money losing moment. The Flop is probably the most important moment
in Texas Hold 'em. How you read your opponents and the cards, after the Flop, will
decide whether win or lose the hand. Bad poker players read the Flop wrong and
make bad betting decisions. Save yourself some money and take more pots by
making smart decisions. Are you making costly mistakes after the Flop, or on the
Turn, or on the River? Find out now.
