SHAME ON YOU!

Well folks that is exactly what we are going to go through so you know exactly what you are doing when you are playing the game.  There are some warning signs that you will need to go through so you can tell if it is a big mistake or not.

Firstly, the quality of the hand against your opponent’s actual hand can play a part in if the mistake you made is a big one or not.  The size of the pot as well ash the probability that your opponent would have that hand versus other hands.  Those are all things that can play a part in your mistakes.

Be nice to your wallet. Pull out and fold while you can, especially if there is no hope of improving the hand you currently have.

Folding is not a sign of weakness. In fact, if you do not do it at least occasionally, your opponents are going to find it very easy to goad you into playing a losing hand. That means more money for them, way less for you — and who wants that?

So, picking up where we left off, let’s start talking about bluffing. You do not want to bluff just because you can. Bluffing just for the sake of it is a real donkey move. Sadly, it is also something a lot of novice players do.

Listen. There is not rule one in poker that says you have to bluff at least once, twice, three times a game. In fact, you never have to bluff at all if you do not want to bluff. Besides, bluffing is an art. You actually should not do it unless you have it down to a science and can actually make it work for you — which is harder than you might think.

There are a couple of terms you need to familiarize yourself with as you begin this game. For instance, this game uses community cards, which means that they can be used by all players. The dealer lays these cards out, face up, in the middle of the table so they are viewable by all. The first three community cards are known as the Flop. The fourth card is known as the Turn, while the fifth and final card is regarded as the River. The two cards you as a player are dealt — face down — are known as your hole cards. You use them in conjunction with the community cards to create the best hand.

You need to know the basics. Now, rules can only take you so far. As you learn the rules, you also need to put them into play. So I need you to do something here: for each new rule, tip, or strategy presented in this series of post, do what you can to put it into practice so that you can actually apply firsthand experience to what you learn.

Now, that does not mean you should run right out and start playing high stakes at a bricks and mortar casino or at an online one. Just invite a couple of buddies over and play for fun!
