We play online correctly. Very valuable, but not quite obvious tips for beginners
You are genuinely interested in poker, studiedrules and, finally, decided to try their hand at any online room. That's right, that's how many stars started their way in poker, for example, the same Eugene Kachalov, the famous professional and champion of various series of PokerStars, WPT / WSOP tournaments, who won two gold WCOOP bracelets. The first steps in virtual battles are approximately the same regardless of the room - the beginner is registered and starts playing for conditional chips. It is believed that this is how the necessary experience is acquired and "the hand is stuffed". Well, it's true and not true at the same time. It happens that even the months spent in online battles on PokerStars or FullTiltPoker practically give nothing to the player in terms of professional growth. The fact is that you need to play online poker correctly. And even more so, it is necessary to make these first steps right.
So, simple, but very necessary tips for virtual games, which gives a team of professionals PokerStars.
The most important mistake made by a beginner,it's a belief that you can learn to win without real bets. almost all poker experts say that learning how to win without trying yourself in a real money game is unrealistic!
Lord, poker, this is a game for money and it'smoney here is the key factor that disciplines the participant. The first advice - if you really want to learn the wisdom of poker, make real bets, even small ones. This is the small step from which the great road to victory begins. This is what Akim Zedmor Akimov assures us of the famous Russian poker player.
The second: poker is certainly a game and it is extremely important to understand its rules. But in addition, it is necessary to learn how to understand your partners at a virtual table. And this is not easy, because you do not see opponents. A simple example is that you sit down to play at the nano-limits. And what do you see? A huge number of participants are engaged in nonsense - meaninglessly puts allin, commits other paradoxical actions. As a result, time is lost, bad habits are acquired, incontinence is formed. It is necessary to learn to separate senseless body movements from the conscious actions of other players. This skill will be useful in the future, when at larger bets you will come across a bluff.
Third. Try to look for partners, and also games are more complicated. They are on the same PokerStars a lot, for every taste and color. This will inevitably lead to some loss of money, but the result will be an invaluable experience. You can start with 10-20 dollars and play on the same nanolimite.
Another tip, which gives a beautiful Liv Boeri- Do not be afraid to bluff, especially if you see that the enemy underestimates you. And to learn how to build competent strategies in the game, be sure to read. Playing poker without a good theoretical preparation, without reading the special literature is very difficult. This is necessary first of all for a correct understanding of the game. Not to mention the fact that it is in the books you will find a lot of ready-made solutions and typical approaches that will certainly be useful in the future. And their value is not detracted from the fact that they are known to everyone. On the contrary, it will be much worse if you sit at the table without being aware of basic things. This is the shortest way to lose and disappoint in poker. Most of those who abandoned this wonderful game after several unsuccessful attempts have committed just this one, which has become a fatal mistake. Look for good translated publications, and if you know the language, read in the original. For example, this is the "bible" of the modern poker "Hold'em for Harrington" by Den Harrington, his own - "Cash on Harrington", "Internet Texas Hold'em" by Matthew Hilger. To begin with, that will be enough. Then, start applying knowledge from books in practice, while continuing to play on the nanolimit. Or read Gus Hansen's book - by the way, also a pro from the world's leading poker room.
The fifth, very valuable advice from pros PokerStarsRaymond Wu: Do not abuse the bluff. Bluffing is necessary only with a clear awareness of the necessity and consequences of this measure. A meaningless bluff turns poker from an intellectual game into a "roulette" where nothing depends on you and as a result leads to a loss. Not to mention the fact that such a participant acquires a strong reputation, to put it mildly, a stupid player.
The sixth tip from the same Raymond: never, never, never stay in your hand just because you put a lot in the bank. Despite all the strategies and tactics, poker has an element of luck and it may not be on your side, especially if the hands are not too good. Do not spare money because of greed, if you see that the card does not go. Continuing the game, you will be forced to raise bets time after time, and in the finals lose all because of simple stubbornness. Sometimes it's better to lose a piece to save the whole.
Another, very important, but not too obviousthe moment, which draws attention to Eugeniy Kachalov: do not sit down to play in a bad mood or unimportant state of health. Still no use. Attention is scattered, thoughts are confused - what kind of poker can this be? The probability of a sad ending is too high, not to mention the fact that there is no pleasure from such a game.
And, in the continuation of the topic, perhaps the main,final advice to the newcomer, this time from the masters of off-line parties Dmitry Lesnoy and Lev Nathanson: try to get pleasure from the game. Often it becomes difficult to do, if all night long you sit behind the monitor, and at first glance no payback. As they say, it is easy to be comforted by victories, and if everything is the other way around and in the "portfolio" are mostly defeats? Well, it's time to remember that poker is a game, and you need to play with pleasure. Because, what a person does with pleasure sooner or later brings good results. Victory awaits you, you only need to apply a little effort!
