You               can               find               it               being               played               at               nearly               any               casino               that               has               a               poker               room               and               tournaments               are               being               featured               regularly               on               TV.

The               game               is               simple               to               learn               and               fun               to               play,               but               an               inexperienced               player               might               find               their               money               draining               away               faster               than               they               are               comfortable               with               when               playing               against               seasoned               vets.
               Becoming               a               professional               Texas               Hold'em               player               takes               a               lot               of               skill               and               practice,               and               there               are               many               fine               books               that               can               be               purchased               at               any               bookstore               that               can               teach               you               the               more               advanced               principles               of               the               game.

However,               in               this               article               we               are               going               to               focus               on               a               few               simple               core               principles               that               you               can               utilize               to               improve               your               game.

These               principles               will               give               you               a               solid               foundation               upon               which               you               can               build               your               poker               skill               and               perhaps               win               a               little               money               along               the               way.
               Never               Play               Scared               
               
               When               playing               Texas               Hold'em,               or               any               form               of               gambling               for               that               matter,               it               is               imperative               that               you               are               playing               only               with               money               that               you               can               afford               to               lose.

Nothing               will               strip               away               any               advantage               you               have               quicker               than               playing               with               "scared               money".

You               need               to               be               able               to               focus               on               making               correct               decisions               based               solely               on               the               cards               in               your               hand               and               the               situation               with               the               other               players.

Playing               with               money               that               you               really               shouldn't               be               playing               with               will               lead               to               anxiety,               and               that               anxiety               will               lead               to               you               making               the               wrong               decisions.

You               might               throw               away               winning               hands               because               you               are               scared               of               losing,               or               worse               you               might               call               hands               that               you               know               you               are               going               to               lose               because               you               are               desperately               trying               to               win               back               money               that               you               have               already               lost.
               Gambling               is               addictive               because               of               the               excitement               that               it               brings.

This               excitement               should               be               fun,               not               scary.

If               you               take               nothing               else               away               from               this               article,               take               this.
               Pay               Attention               To               Position
               In               Texas               Hold'em,               the               term               position               refers               to               your               place               in               the               betting               order.

The               player               to               the               left               of               the               dealer               always               bets               first               and               then               the               action               moves               clockwise               around               the               table.

Most               new               players               have               no               idea               how               important               position               is               and               what               the               advantage               is               in               being               the               last               person               to               bet.
               The               way               that               your               opponents               bet               can               tell               you               a               lot               about               their               hands.

If               someone               raises,               then               they               probably               have               a               strong               hand.

If               someone               calls               or               checks,               their               hand               is               probably               only               so-so.

The               person               in               last               position               gets               to               see               what               everyone               else               at               the               table               is               going               to               do               before               making               their               decision               to               raise,               call,               or               fold               their               hand.

If               your               hand               is               mediocre,               and               several               people               before               you               raised               the               bet               or               called               the               raised               bet,               then               you               know               that               they               think               their               hands               are               pretty               strong.

You               know               your               hand               is               mediocre               so               you               can               fold               your               hand               since               you               are               most               likely               the               underdog.
               The               player               in               first               position               is               the               worst               off.

He               has               to               make               his               bet               before               anyone               else.

If               he               has               a               strong               hand               and               bets               big,               he               might               cause               other               players               to               fold,               depriving               himself               of               their               money.

If               his               hand               is               mediocre,               he               has               to               decide               whether               to               bet               in               order               to               pretend               that               he               has               a               bigger               hand               than               he               does,               or               he               can               check,               which               will               let               everyone               know               that               his               hand               is               probably               junk.

If               he               bets               just               a               small               amount,               then               other               people               with               mediocre               hands               will               stay               in               the               game,               and               the               next               card               that               comes               up               on               the               board               might               give               them               a               better               hand               than               his.
               Positional               play               is               a               huge               part               of               Texas               Hold'em,               and               detailing               how               to               play               various               hands               in               all               of               the               different               possible               positions               at               the               table               is               beyond               the               scope               of               the               article.

For               the               beginner               it               is               enough               to               remember               that               the               smaller               your               pocket               cards,               and               the               earlier               your               position,               the               weaker               your               hand               is.

A               pair               of               8's               in               last               position               is               good               because               you               can               see               how               everyone               else               is               going               to               bet               and               you               can               judge               whether               or               not               your               hand               is               beat.

A               pair               of               8's               in               first               position               is               dangerous               because               you               are               left               with               the               choice               of               either               betting               big               to               try               and               drive               out               players,               or               betting               small               and               giving               everyone               else               a               chance               to               beat               you.

As               you               spend               your               time               at               the               table,               make               sure               to               watch               how               people               bet,               and               how               the               person               in               last               position               has               an               advantage,               and               how               the               people               in               early               positions               are               forced               to               behave.
               Betting               and               Raising               is               Better               than               Checking               and               Calling               
               
               Poker               is               an               aggressive               game.

Players               who               are               willing               to               play               more               boldly               will               win               more               than               a               player               who               just               tosses               money               into               the               pot               hoping               for               the               miracle               card               to               appear               on               the               river               that               will               win               them               the               hand.
               Unless               you               have               an               unbeatable               hand               right               off               the               bat,               you               want               to               get               to               the               showdown               with               as               few               players               remaining               in               the               pot               as               possible.

The               purpose               of               betting               and               raising               is               to               make               the               hand               too               expensive               for               players               with               mediocre               hands               to               stay               in.

A               lot               of               players               hope               for               the               bets               to               stay               as               cheap               as               possible               so               they               can               keep               drawing               cards,               hoping               that               the               turn               or               the               river               card               will               make               their               losing               hand               into               a               winner.

You               don't               want               this               to               happen.

When               you               have               a               hand               that               you               think               is               strong               enough               to               win               then               you               want               to               make               the               bets               more               expensive               to               encourage               the               weaker               hands               to               just               fold               and               try               again               next               hand.
               Betting               and               raising               is               sometimes               tough               for               new               players               to               do.

They               often               do               not               want               people               to               think               that               they               are               bluffing,               and               they               think               that               if               they               do               a               lot               of               raising               and               wind               up               losing               the               pot               that               they               will               look               foolish.

This               is               simply               not               the               case.

Raising               bets               is               a               normal               part               of               playing               poker               and               the               best               way               to               make               sure               that               you               win               more               often               and               win               more               money               when               you               do.
               Always               Know               the               Board               and               Try               to               Know               Your               Opponents               Hand               
               
               It's               easy               to               know               what               you               have,               but               not               so               easy               to               know               for               sure               what               your               opponents               might               have.

During               the               course               of               the               game,               it               is               highly               important               that               you               not               just               focus               on               what               you               have.

You               must               always               be               trying               to               figure               out               exactly               what               it               is               your               opponent               is               holding.
               Luckily,               there               are               more               cards               dealt               face               up               in               Hold'em               than               are               dealt               face               down,               so               you               already               know               most               of               what               your               opponent               has.

Look               at               whats               on               the               board               and               then               look               at               the               way               your               opponent               is               betting               and               try               to               determine               what               he               possibly               has.

Are               there               3               cards               of               the               same               suit               on               the               board,               making               it               a               possibility               that               your               opponent               has               a               flush?

Are               the               cards               on               the               board               close               enough               together               in               rank               that               your               opponent               might               have               a               straight?

Did               your               opponent               just               call               the               bet               before               the               flop,               and               then               come               out               swinging               after               the               flop?
               During               the               course               of               a               night               of               poker,               you               will               play               a               lot               of               hands               and               spend               a               lot               of               time               with               the               same               people.

You               have               plenty               of               opportunities               to               watch               the               other               players               and               learn               how               they               play.

Watch               every               hand,               even               the               ones               you               have               folded               out               of               early               on.

Try               to               find               the               player               at               the               table               who               seems               to               be               winning               most               often               and               keep               an               eye               on               what               he's               doing               so               you               can               be               prepared               should               it               ever               just               come               down               to               the               two               of               you.
               There's               No               Shame               in               Folding

    Review of poker order of cards::How Do You Score in Poker








    Draw               hands               are               hands               after               the               flop               in               which               the               player               has               four               cards               to               a               straight,               a               flush               or               both.

    Made               hands               are               hands               which               after               the               flop               the               player               has               trips,               two               pair,               top               pair               or               a               pair               of               kings               or               aces               in               the               pocket               (the               last               two               both               pre-flop).

    Of               course               higher               hands               such               as               a               straight               flush,               a               full               straight               or               flush               on               the               flop               and               four               of               a               kind               are               also               made               hands.

    The               difference               between               good               play               and               poor               play               for               a               draw               hand               and               a               made               hand               are               significantly               different.

    A               great               poker               player               will               try               to               control               the               table,               stay               in               or               fold               based               on               several               factors,               which               are               discussed               in               the               rest               of               this               article.

    This               play               strategy               is               designed               to               increase               your               potential               winnings               as               well               as               to               provide               guidelines               for               playing               each               type               of               hand.
                   Draw               Hands               Strategy
                   If               you               are               dealt               a               draw               hand               on               the               flop,               your               best               strategy               is               to               keep               the               betting               relatively               low               and               to               keep               as               many               players               in               as               possible.

    After               all               your               chance               of               filling               the               straight               or               flush               is               usually               less               than               50%.

    Even               when               you               catch               your               draw,               you               may               lose               to               a               higher               hand.

    Four               cards               to               a               flush               are               your               best               drawing               hand               other               than               the               rare               straight               flush               possibility.

    However,               if               you               have               a               jack               and               ten               of               hearts               and               two               other               hearts               on               the               flop,               say               an               eight               and               a               queen               of               hearts               you               can               still               draw               a               fifth               heart               and               lose               to               another               person               with               two               hearts               with               one               being               a               king               or               an               ace.
                   A               flush               with               an               ace               is               called               the               nut               flush               because               other               than               running               into               a               straight               flush,               an               ace               will               dominate               all               other               hands               providing               a               pair               is               not               showing               on               board.

    If               a               pair               does               show               you               have               to               worry               about               your               nut               flush               being               beaten               by               a               full               house               or               even               quads.
                   While               a               high               flush               will               usually               win               if               no               pair               is               showing               when               you               reach               the               river.

    Without               the               ace               of               the               suit               in               your               hold               cards               you               must               be               very               careful               if               another               player               bets               all               in               as               this               is               a               very               clear               sign               to               you               that               they               have               the               ace               themselves.

    I               have               folded               flushes               when               raised               by               a               conservative               player               who               is               likely               to               have               a               higher               flush               than               mine.
                   Straight               draws               are               more               difficult               to               play.

    If               there               are               two               or               three               suited               cards               in               the               flop               you               probably               do               not               want               to               play               this               draw               hand.

    If               you               have               say               a               suited               Ace               and               10               to               King,               you               have               a               double               draw               possibility               for               both               a               straight               and               a               flush.

    This               is               as               good               as               it               gets               with               a               drawing               hand.

    Your               odds               of               hitting               either               the               nut               flush               or               nut               straight               are               above               50%.

    This               is               why               you               want               as               many               people               in               as               possible.

    You               get               a               potentially               large               pot               with               minimal               risking               a               large               sum               of               your               own               money.


                   If               you               get               a               nut               flush               with               not               pair               on               board               you               are               the               winner.

    The               question               is               how               to               maximize               you               pot               without               scaring               all               the               other               players               out.

    A               moderate               value               bet               which               may               retain               players               with               trips               or               lower               draw               hands               is               the               smartest               move.

    However,               if               you               are               playing               with               fish               (poor               players)               you               might               get               a               caller               with               an               all               in               bet.

    This               is               especially               true               if               they               are               short               stacked               or               high               stacked.
                   Personally,               I               would               not               even               recommend               a               player               draw               to               an               inside               or               one               way               straight.

    There               are               four               outs               of               about               forty               five               cards               you               have               not               seen.

    This               is               less               than               one               in               five               odds.

    In               addition,               this               hand               may               be               beaten               by               a               superior               drawing               hand               or               a               higher               made               hand.

    Many               times               these               hands               also               result               in               a               draw,               not               a               loser               but               not               a               winner               either.

    It               is               just               not               worth               it.

    Even               an               open               ended               straight               such               as               4,5,6,7               where               both               a               3               and               an               8               will               give               you               a               straight               still               is               a               long               shot               when               you               factor               in               that,               that               hand               can               also               be               beaten               by               a               player               with               say               8,9               or               a               an               higher               made               hand.

    A               straight               chaser               is               probably               not               a               long               term               winner               unless               they               are               capable               of               keeping               a               lot               of               people               in               and               the               betting               low.

    This               is               not               easy               to               do.
                   Made               Hand               Strategy
                   A               made               hand               is               generally               a               combination               of               cards               that               can               win               all               by               itself               such               as               pocket               aces               on               the               first               two               cards,               a               set               or               trips               on               the               flop,               a               full               house               or               better.

    This               includes               a               complete               straight               or               flush               on               the               flop               as               well.
                   A               made               hand               seems               easier               to               play.

    It               is               not.

    Pocket               aces               or               kings               are               considered               a               made               hand.

    Yet               they               are               only               a               single               pair               if               the               five               board               cards               do               not               give               you               a               third               ace               or               king               respectively.

    Pocket               aces               or               kings               are               best               played               by               a               very               large               bet.

    Your               best               chance               is               to               bet               out               all               the               draw               hands               and               as               many               other               hands               as               possible.

    If               you               go               into               the               flop               with               one               caller               you               have               a               very               good               chance               of               winning.

    If               two               players               or               more               call,               while               your               mathematical               odds               are               still               higher               than               any               other               player               going               into               the               flop,               your               odds               of               winning               against               two               are               more               player               are               less               than               50%.

    The               key               on               these               high               pairs               is               not               to               slow               play               but               to               try               and               get               as               many               people               out               a               soon               as               possible.
                   The               opposite               the               strategy               you               should               use               on               a               made               hand               post               flop               of               trips               or               a               full               house.

    These               hands               have               a               good               chance               of               winning               even               without               improvement               on               the               turn               or               the               river.

    In               order               to               maximize               your               winnings               deceptive               play               in               the               best               strategy               in               this               case.

    Slow               play               the               flop               with               a               check               and               hope               that               someone               else               will               bet.

    If               you               are               in               good               late               position               and               the               flop               reveals               some               draw               hand               possibilities,               a               minimal               bet               might               be               advisable.

    You               want               people               to               be               invested               in               the               pot               without               having               them               fold               leaving               you               with               just               the               blinds.

    The               same               goes               for               turn               card               betting.

    You               have               to               hope               that               someone               gets               a               hand               worth               betting               or               tries               for               a               bluff               win.

    Look               weak               at               least               until               the               river               is               turned.
                   If               betting               has               been               solid               make               a               bet               about               equal               to               the               pot.

    If               someone               is               short               staked,               bet               enough               to               knock               them               out.

    If               someone               looks               strong,               but               not               as               strong               as               you,               bet               all               in.

    I               have               seen               many               full               houses               be               beaten               by               higher               full               houses               or               quads.

    If               you               do               not               have               the               nuts,               this               can               be               a               game               ender               for               you.

    On               the               other               hand               it               can               move               you               to               a               dominant               position               in               terms               of               chip               count.

    High               chip               count               is               important               in               both               tournament               play               and               cash               games.
                   Conclusion
                   A               made               hand               is               considered               better               than               a               drawing               hand.

    Why?

    Because               with               a               made               hand               you               have               control               of               the               betting.

    Control               of               betting               is               control               of               the               table.

    While               poor               player               may               stay               in               with               a               flush               draw               when               a               large               bet               is               made,               many               better               players               will               not               risk               their               stack               on               a               draw               hand.
                   Draw               hands               are               fun               to               play               but               it               is               gambling               not               skill               if               you               risk               a               large               portion               of               your               chips               on               a               less               than               50/50               bet.

    Yet               I               have               seen               some               of               the               highest               rated               players               in               the               world               do               it.

    That               is               probably               why               the               recent               World               Series               of               Poker               main               event               winners               have               not               been               the               highest               rated               players               in               the               world.
                   Maximize               the               skill               in               your               poker               play               and               minimize               the               luck               factor.
