Online Poker – winning strategies

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

Online pokerIf you are an aggressive player you can use the strategy of continuation bets. In continuation bets you make a bet when there is a flop in the game. You can then take control of the game by initiating a raise in the hand. This will confuse other players, wondering about whether you have a power card or a monster hand. They will also try to check the raise. You can win the game by laying out your bet with the last card at the end. This also helps in creating a dilemma for the other players in deciding whether to raise, fold, or call.

On the other hand, if you are more of a passive player, you can use the strategy of waiting and watching. Instead of getting into confrontations, you wait for the right opportunity of others’ wrong moves and win by monster hands. Winning really just comes to you with adequate practice.

Home Poker Games

Home Poker GamesSpeaking of home poker games reminds me of good old days when we used to have weekend games over dinner at one of our friends’ place. It was decided in advance who will host the game and then the time of the game. There were some free games and some games with cash involved.

The most difficult part of hosting a home poker game was determining the wining amount and even tough, the amount for blinds. For me blinds are just a provision for not placing a bet and shooting out of the game. Hence blinds should be kept as less as possible. This also helps in people who want to invest lesser amounts to play longer.

Initially, the blinds could be set at 1-2 per cent. And towards the end of game, it can be increased to 5 per cent so that people may leave with dignity. Too many blinds mean favoring people who carry bigger bankrolls who can tap on the number of members decreasing.

Among other things, we also need to consider the chips. Based on the denominations, you can buy chips of different colors. For example, $1 cab be blue, $20 can be green. You can go up to $500. Under very rare cases will anybody use a $1000 bet. All the best!

3 Tips on Card Poker

Card PokerThis variation of the game is for people who have enough experience in playing poker. You have to play two games simultaneously if you are playing card poker. This means more usage of brain ad keeping track of both games at the same time. Though there are casinos, that allow you play one card game at a time, people prefer three card poker as it offers more chances of winnings ( as well as loosing too). Never go for the 3 card game until you are able to win maximum number of card pokers.

As usual, I am again going to speak about your bankroll. This time, not only you have to provide for the day, but also calculate for each game. If your daily limit is $1000, you will but aside $250 for one game and $500 for the higher bet game. This way you make sure that you do not have to quit while the game is still running.

Most people are so obsessed with the game that as soon as they enter a casino, they would scan which table contains the minimum number of players. This means the next game will start soon and they can begin instantly. This is wrong. As with any other casino game, each table has its own payout. To enjoy more winnings, you have to select a table that has higher payouts. You may have to wait a long before you can actually play on the maximum payout table that can be 95-98 per cent. For even higher payouts, play on the internet. The online casinos offer you up to 100 per cent payouts. For their regular members, they offer even more!

Poker Tips
Poker is the most wanted game after the slots in any casino. Ever since the video poker came into existence, people will not leave the casino without having a small game on the machine. But it is natural that what starts as a small game continues late into the night. If you have to play like a pro, you have to keep three factors in your mind: time, bankroll, and the payout of each table.

Normally when we are on the internet, we often loose track of the time. And if you are playing the online Poker, chances are that you would even not think of anything except winning the game, no matter how long it takes. It is advised that you keep a wrist watch that gives an alarm every half an hour so that you can know the time. Not only carrying the time piece, you should try your level best to adhere to the timer. Otherwise, there is no use in carrying the time piece.

The bankroll you are holding should be divided for all the days you want to play. Other than that, if you won something, first exhaust the winnings before coming back to the bankroll. This way you will be able to play more.
