The               Basics
               Some               poker               games               use               antes,               but               most               games               start               with               two               players               to               the               left               of               the               dealer               placing               out               a               predetermined               amount               of               money               so               there               is               an               initial               amount               to               get               things               started.

These               are               called               blinds.

For               those               not               familiar               with               poker               lingo,               Blinds               are               forced               bets               by               the               2               players               left               of               the               dealer.

The               small               blinds               is               half               of               the               amount               of               the               big               blinds.
               The               dealer               shuffles               up               the               playing               cards.

Each               player               is               dealt               two               cards               face               down.

Then,               there               is               a               round               of               betting               starting               with               the               guy               to               the               left               of               the               two               who               posted               the               blinds.

The               amount               a               player               can               bet               depends               on               what               kind               of               game               it               is.

If               it's               no-limit               game,               you               can               bet               any               amount               between               the               cost               of               the               big               blind               and               the               amount               of               money               you               have               at               the               table               on               any               betting               round.

If               it's               pot-limit               game,               you're               limited               to               any               amount               between               the               cost               of               the               big               blind               and               the               size               of               the               pot               on               any               betting               round.

Players               can               check,               raise,               or               fold               the               hand               they               have.
               After               the               betting               round               ends,               the               dealer               removes               the               top               card               of               the               deck.

This               is               called               a               burn               card.

This               is               done               to               prevent               cheating               in               the               game.

The               dealer               then               flips               the               next               three               cards               on               the               table.

These               cards               are               called               the               flop.

There               is               another               round               of               betting               starting               with               the               player               to               the               left               of               the               dealer.

Then,               players               decides               to               bet               at               the               pot.

Some               will               bet               the               pot,               if               they               got               a               winning               hand.

Others               will               bet               the               pot,               even               if               they               got               a               losing               hand.
               After               the               betting               concludes,               the               dealer               burns               another               card               and               flips               one               more               onto               the               table.

This               is               called               the               turn               card.

After               that,               more               betting               is               involved               in               this               round.

Finally,               the               dealer               removes               a               card               and               places               a               final               card               on               the               table.

This               is               called               the               river.

There               is               one               final               round               of               betting               starting               with               the               player               to               the               left               of               the               dealer.

After               that,               all               of               the               players               remaining               in               the               game               begin               to               reveal               their               hands.

The               player               who               shows               the               best               hand               wins!

If               more               than               one               player               has               a               winning               hand,               it's               called               a               split               pot.
               Winning               Hands:
               High               Card:               Winning               a               hand               with               one               card               higher               than               your               opponents.


               Pair(s):               Winning               a               hand               with               one               or               2               pairs               on               the               board.


               Sets:               3               of               the               same               cards               on               the               board.


               4               of               a               kind:               4               of               the               same               cards               on               the               board.


               Flush:               5               cards               with               that               either               share               a               heart,               diamond,               shape               or               club               
               Straight:               consecutive               cards               in               row               
               Royal               Flush:               Ace               high               (10*J*Q*K*A)               in               consecutive               cards               (hearts,               clubs,               spades,               diamonds)
               The               Mistakes               to               Avoid
               No               matter               how               good               you               are               playing               poker,               mistakes               can               be               made.

It               happens               to               the               best               of               them.

If               you're               not               careful,               you'll               go               from               chip               leader               to               short               stack               in               a               moment.

These               are               the               mistakes               you               need               to               avoid.
               Poor               hand               selection:               Playing               too               many               cards,               often               at               the               wrong               time,               is               the               biggest               flaw               in               the               losing               hold'em               players               game.

There's               a               time               to               be               aggressive,               and               there's               a               time               to               play               conservative.

Sometimes,               you               have               to               wait               for               a               hand               to               come               to               you.
               Ignorance:               Don't               assume               that               know               everything               in               poker.

All               the               hours               of               TV               and               poker               books               won't               make               you               a               poker               expert.

Playing               it               in               the               card               rooms               and               online               games               will               make               you               a               good               player.

You               can               learn               from               other               players               to               avoid               the               mistakes               they               made.
               Lack               of               Bankroll:               There's               nothing               worse               than               entering               a               poker               game               with               a               big               bankroll               and               losing               it               in               one               game.

Before               you               enter               the               big               games,               you               have               to               earn               your               bankroll               through               smaller               games.
               Reading               Books:               Reading               books               about               poker               isn't               the               problem.

The               problem               is               that               people               think               they               know               everything               from               all               the               books               they               read.

Reading               different               books               is               good,               but               it               doesn't               replace               experience               from               actually               playing               the               game               online               and               off               line.

You               should               wonder               why               they               put               this               stuff               in               their               books.
               Not               Controlling               Your               Emotions:               It's               easy               to               get               emotional               in               poker,               but               it               can               come               back               and               hurt               you.

Once               you're               on               tilt,               there's               no               way               you'll               play               like               your               old               self               during               the               game.

As               long               as               you               keep               your               emotions               in               check,               you'll               be               a               better               poker               player.
               Playing               One               Type               of               Game:               To               be               a               good               poker               player,               you               got               to               learn               how               to               play               both               no-limit               and               pot               limit               hold'em.

Playing               one               style               will               neither               help               nor               improve               your               game.
               Analyzing               Losses:               Let's               face               it!

Losing               is               a               part               of               poker.

The               best               player               will               talk               about               the               bad               beats               they               experienced.

You               shouldn't               spend               too               much               time               dealing               with               you're               losing               hand.

You               must               learn               from               it               and               move               on.


               
               Taking               the               Game               Too               Seriously:               Too               many               people               have               taken               too               seriously.

I               see               this               as               the               biggest               cardinal               sin               in               the               game.

1st,               poker               is               a               game,               Nothing               more,               nothing               less.

If               you               can               enjoying               yourself               playing               it,               you               may               need               to               find               some               other               game               to               play.
               Once               you               understand               this               basic               structure               of               the               game,               you               can               play               hold'em               and               even               some               of               the               many               hold'em               variants               out               there.

Whether               it               be               a               casino               card               room,               online               or               your               friendly               neighborhood               game,               the               most               important               thing               about               Texas               Hold'Em               is               to               enjoy               the               game               and               shuffle               up               and               deal.

    Review of poker winning hand::What Are Winning Hands in Texas Holdem








    Bluffing               in               poker               is               more               than               just               a               necessity;               it               is               a               talent.

    To               successfully               pull               off               all               that               goes               into               a               bluff               that               wins               you               a               pot               of               money               when               you               only               have               a               pair               of               deuces               in               your               hand               requires               the               artistic               skill               of               a               DeNiro               or               Spacey.

    The               unspoken               truth               about               the               kind               of               poker               that               is               played               in               basements               and               the               back               rooms               of               bars               every               night               is               that               the               guy               who               can               consistently               pull               of               a               bluff               walks               through               the               door               with               more               money               in               his               wallet               a               whole               heckuva               lot               more               often               than               the               guy               sitting               across               from               him               who               waits               to               bet               big               only               when               he's               removed               all               doubt               that               he's               holding               the               winning               hand.

    Another               fact               of               poker               is               that               while               you               have               to               possess               a               great               big               load               of               talent               to               pull               off               a               bluff               on               regular               occasions,               it               doesn't               require               nearly               as               much               aptitude               to               detect               a               poker               bluff.

    This               is               due               to               the               fact               that               even               the               Oscar-caliber               bluffers               usually               don't               have               the               powers               of               concentration               and               observation               to               manipulate               their               every               action.

    Bluffing               requires               some               major               acting               abilities--maybe               that's               why               so               many               actors               are               hitting               it               big               on               the               professional               poker               circuit--but               bluffing               also               has               much               to               do               with               psychology.

    Fortunately               for               you,               it               isn't               impossible               to               decipher               the               many               psychological               tip-offs               that               will               let               you               know               you're               in               the               presence               of               a               master               poker               bluff.

    Almost               all               poker               players               bring               to               the               table               specific               gestures,               tics               or               mannerisms               over               which               they               have               little               or               no               control               when               engaging               in               a               bluff.

    In               the               poker               parlance,               these               ticks               and               gestures               are               called               "tells."               Don't               make               the               mistake               of               thinking               that               a               master               poker               bluffer               will               show               as               many               tells               as               the               guy               your               brother-in-law               invited               down               to               your               weekly               basement               poker               game.

    Still,               even               the               best               poker               bluffers               can't               control               everything.

    Another               thing               to               remember               about               tells               is               that               they               aren't               necessarily               always               going               to               be               displayed.

    Some               poker               bluffers               will               only               lose               control               of               their               tics               when               big               money               is               on               the               line,               or               when               they               are               pretty               sure               you've               got               a               good               hand               that               they               can               successfully               bluff               away.

    Usually,               however,               there               are               one               or               two               tells               that               recur               frequently               enough               for               you               to               pick               up               on.

    The               most               common               tell               of               a               lesser               talented               poker               bluffer               is               that               he               will               act               as               though               he's               been               given               a               raw               deal               when               in               fact               he's               holding               four               aces,               or               he               will               act               as               if               he's               sitting               on               a               straight               flush               when               he's               got               nothing.
                   There               are               a               few               other               very               common               poker               tells               that               you               should               always               be               aware               of.

    Any               time               a               poker               player               begins               to               act               a               little               overly               dramatic               while               betting               or               raising,               it's               a               good               idea               to               keep               track               of               his               hands.

    If               you               notice               he               or               she               begins               to               become               a               little               more               animated               when               they               aren't               holding               much,               but               is               more               downbeat               when               they               are,               well               that's               a               pretty               good               sign.

    In               fact,               one               of               the               best               things               you               can               do               during               a               poker               game               is               keep               track               of               the               emotional               state               of               the               other               players               when               they               are               making               bets.

    Only               the               best               players               in               the               world               are               truly               capable               of               playing               on               exactly               the               same               emotional               register               whether               they've               got               a               good               or               losing               hand.

    Usually               a               poker               bluffer               tends               to               overact               when               he's               got               a               bad               hand,               but               some               play               it               the               other               way               and               get               dramatic               based               on               a               surge               of               confidence.
                   If               a               player               who               has               been               acting               rather               dour               or               antisocial               suddenly               starts               to               get               gregarious               and               all               buddy-buddy               with               everything               that               is               often               a               sign               he's               trying               to               bluff.

    Check               on               the               player's               breathing.

    Bluffers               have               a               bad               habit               of               not               being               able               to               control               this               kind               of               tell.

    Some               poker               bluffers               start               to               breathe               heavily               when               they               are               trying               to               trick               you,               while               others               purposely               try               to               hide               their               excitement               or               nervousness               by               regulating               their               breathing               and               taking               in               shallow               breaths.

    Looking               for               the               breathing               tell               requires               much               closer               scrutiny               because               the               difference               may               only               be               slight.

    The               good               thing               is               that               is               it               one               of               those               recurring               mannerisms               that               most               bluffers               simply               can't               control.

    Just               be               aware               that               a               really               good               poker               bluff               is               already               aware               you               are               watching               him               and               he               may               take               the               opportunity               to               sucker               you               in               by               changing               his               breathing               pattern               to               show               you               that               he's               nervous               when               in               fact               he's               got               a               killer               hand.
                   Looking               at               a               poker               player's               eyes               is               always               advised.

    Many               poker               bluffers               take               extra               care               to               control               their               hands,               their               posture,               and               even               that               breathing,               but               just               can't               control               the               eyeballs.

    If               you               notice               a               player               staring               intently               at               his               hand               while               avoiding               any               eye               contact               with               other               players,               or               else               doing               the               opposite               and               looking               at               anything               but               his               cards,               this               is               a               potential               sign               of               a               bluff.

    More               often               than               not,               in               fact,               this               kind               of               behavior               is               a               sign               that               he               is               going               to               bluff               because               he's               got               a               bad               hand.
                   Poker               tells               that               point               to               a               player               trying               to               convince               you               he's               got               a               bad               hand               usually               involve               the               acting               out               of               nervous               tics.

    Sometimes               this               will               actually               get               to               the               point               where               the               bluffer's               hands               are               noticeably               shaking.

    It               is               a               sad               fact               of               poker               life,               however,               that               good               players               don't               demonstrate               such               ridiculously               observable               signs               of               nervousness.

    The               only               time               a               good               poker               player--not               a               world               class               player,               mind               you,               but               a               regular               good               player--may               exhibit               such               clear               signs               of               nervousness               is               if               there               is               a               bit               juicy               jackpot               and               he's               sitting               on               a               hand               he               knows               is               almost               impossible               to               beat.

    That               kind               of               nervousness               stems               from               the               desire               to               cash               in               and               the               fear               that               he               may               not               be               able               to               manipulate               the               other               players               in               raising               to               make               it               even               bigger               for               him.

    It               cannot               be               said               that               just               because               a               player               is               exhibiting               clear               signs               of               nervousness               that               he               must               be               bluffing,               however,               though               it               more               than               likely               the               case.
                   Remember               the               advice               about               the               guy               who               suddenly               becomes               everybody's               best               buddy?

    Well,               it               is               also               the               case               that               that               jovial               fellow               your               brother-in-law               brought               along               may               suddenly               turn               prickly               or               irritable               when               he's               been               dealt               a               great               hand.

    Often               this               behavior               isn't               really               so               much               a               "tell"               that               he's               bluffing               as               it               is               a               psychological               expression               of               wanting               to               get               paid               right               away.

    The               guy               who               had               been               telling               jokes               and               talking               sports               the               first               five               hands               and               who               is               now               acting               downright               surly               is               probably               acting               the               same               way               most               people               do               when               they               know               money               coming,               but               fears               the               check               has               been               lost               in               the               mail.

    At               the               same               time,               whenever               a               player               suddenly               lapses               into               a               more               comfortable               mode               and               becomes               more               easygoing               and               less               uptight               that               may               very               well               be               a               sign               he's               bluffing.
                   One               of               the               best               ways               to               tell               if               you               are               in               the               presence               of               a               poker               bluff               is               by               watching               the               shoulders.

    Bluffers               love               the               indifferent               shrug               and               they               are               especially               fond               of               well-I'm-just-here-for-the-company               shrug.

    Many               also               make               the               added               effort               of               tossing               in               some               sighs.

    Disinterest               is               very               difficult               to               fake.

    You               can               usually               tell               when               someone               isn't               really               interested               in               what               you're               saying               or               is               just               feigning               disinterest,               and               the               same               thing               goes               in               poker.

    Very               rarely               will               a               bluffer               engage               in               this               kind               of               behavior               if               he's               holding               something               worthwhile;               indifferent               behavior               is               almost               always               a               sure               sign               his               cards               can               be               beat.

    Almost               always,               mind               you.
                   The               last               and               most               important               advice               in               learning               how               to               spot               a               poker               bluff               is               that               you               should               never               arrive               with               a               laundry               list               of               tells               that               you've               memorized.

    If               you               are               expecting               to               see               a               guy               who               shrugs               a               lot               because               he               isn't               holding               anything               you               can               almost               guarantee               he               will               reveal               a               straight               flush.

    And               just               because               a               guy               always               blinks               when               he's               raising               you               on               a               bad               hand               doesn't               mean               he's               not               going               to               blink               twice               when               doubles               the               bet               because               he's               got               an               aces               over               queens               full               house.

    And               that               guy               your               brother-in-law               brought               along?

    Maybe               he's               acting               all               quiet               because               he               really               does               need               some               time               to               loosen               up.

    If               you               try               to               take               advantage               just               because               he's               suddenly               started               acting               like               Merv               Griffin               you               may               wind               up               losing               a               bundle.

    Spotting               a               poker               bluffer               requires               that               you               begin               with               a               blank               slate               at               each               game.

    Observation               is               the               key,               but               this               advice               should               serve               as               a               template.
