Texas Hold'em-Top Tips For Poker Success

Use these top poker tips to super charge your limit Texas Hold'em & take your opponents to the the cleaners.

1) Always fold mediocre or poor hands-

Do not fall in to the beginners trap of playing every hand from any position. It sounds simple enough but, however, the majority of new or poor players want to imitate the professionals on tv. Watch some games closely & see just how many players get involved in pots with bad hands & lose their shirts, you will be astounded. It may be of some value to keep a close track of every hand played of a selected period of time to work out the percentage of hands that lose the most amount of money. This is relatively easy to do in online Texas Hold'em.

2) If you are not going to fold, then raise!-

Another beginners mistake is being confident enough of their hands when they do get a decent set of cards. Why bother just calling if you are not comfortable enough to raise. If this is the case then perhaps you should not be taking part in the hand at all, although there are always exceptions to the rule. Using this strategy of folding or raising can make you an extremely difficult & formidable opponent to play against.

3) Leave your ego at the door- You are not a professional, YET!-

It is time to talk about the biggest misunderstood area of all by inexperienced players, which is bluffing. That is not to say that bluffing can be very effective used in the right way. By that i mean if the strategy is used selectively against timid opponents in tight games. The problem is that once you get noted as a bluffer it becomes ineffective. To be honest it is extremely over-rated & all decent players can remember big bluffers above all else, do not get tagged for it i implore you, or you could end up getting to the nitty gritty (ie the showdowns), you will become very dependent on your hands.

4) Watch out for weak kickers-

An enormous amount of pots are lost with weak kickers in Texas Hold'em. The rule here is simple, do not play high cards if they are with weak kickers. Or you could find yourself in some very tight spots.

5) Texas Hold'em & the art of detachment-

All poker players, even the good ones get bad breaks at some point or another so it is important to remain calm & keep a sense of detachment. The best poker players know this because losing control & going on tilt only prolongs the losing streak & the agony.
So there are the basics to successful & winning poker. Study them & put them into practise, & soon you will be scooping up the chips & raking in the cash.
