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.
Practice Matters
Before you sit down to a Poker game
Before you sit down to a Texas Hold'em Poker game with strangers it is suggested that you observe the game for at least an hour, studying the players' characteristics. See who plays the cards loose and who plays tight. When you do join in, play a conservative game at first, just in case it might be a steer game (crooked game). If you are dealt an exceptionally good hand in a strange game, don't bet everything you have with you. Be satisfied with small winnings on the hand; if it is a steer game your losses will be small, and perhaps the cheaters will decide you are too hep to be taken in.
Don't lend money to another player in a Poker game.
Don't lend money to another player in a Online Hold'em Poker game. The money you lend will often help break you. Also, it is an even bet you won't get it back. Gambling debts aren't paid back as often as legitimate debts. If you desire to improve your game, play as often as you can, because skill develops with experience. But don't play in a big-limit game during the learning period.
