Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.

Do you get a "rush" from making aggressive moves at the poker table? Do you get an elevated since of self from being perceived as "table captain"? Do you enjoy watching others agonize over their decisions?
The bottom line with all of the answers to these questions is, is it your primary goal to achieve this high at the online hold'em poker table by your aggressive play, or are you looking to win money? If your goal is to win the most money possible, then you'll have to look for other areas of your life to achieve this same high, or look to balance your emotional state in several aspects of your own personal life. This is of course much easier said than done, but this is a key starting place for understanding and examining your motivations for playing the game of poker.
