How to Play Texas Hold'em
Poker:
1. Chose
Games in Which you Have a Large Edge Over
your Opponents: You may make more money playing
higher with a smaller edge over your opponents.
But, if you chose that formula you should
make sure you have the bankroll and emotional
stability to accommodate the higher downswings
you will actualize. Keep in mind that the
best game is not always the one with the
largest pots. Rather it is the game where
you have the largest edge over your opponents.
Finding the best game for your ability and
bankroll on a day to day basis is the most
important poker decision you will make.
2. Compute
the Price on All your Plays: This is an important concept
in all plays and also will help you develop
feel. When analyzing a play, count the bets
AND the expectation you will gain/lose form
them. Think in terms of expectation NOT money
wagered. When considering a call from a hand
you think likely to be second best determine
the IMPLIED price you are receiving from
the pot. This includes the chance your hand
will win, the propensity (include texture
of opponents) of winning extra money over
what is already in the pot, the true price
of the call including the possibility it
will get raised behind you. When determining
if you should call without the best hand
take into consideration the chance that the
hand you are drawing to will not be good.
Even if there is a small chance that your
hand will not be good, you must increase
your odds required to make the call considerably.
3. Adjust
your Play Based on the Money in the Pot: The larger the pot
is the more you should play your hand in
a manner that protects your hand. This includes
taking more risk in an effort to protect
your hand. Winning a big pot without competition
is not a bad thing unless your hand almost
cannot be drawn out on. The smaller the pot
is the more correct it is to make trap plays
that gain you extra bets. That is because
the bets have more value than the size of
the pot that is current. This concept is
huge in no-limit and pot-limit games.
4. Take
your Position into Consideration: Always take your position
into consideration when determining a play.
This includes the position to the bettor
and the texture of the players to act behind
you. Having an accurate feel of this will
add great value to your poker game. Great
levels of information can be accumulated
when your opponents act before you do!
5. Bet
Draws if you Might not get Called: You should almost always
bet a draw if you think there is a chance
you could win the pot with a bet. When you
bet a draw you give yourself another way
to win the pot if everyone folds, currently
or subsequently. Also, you might win a bigger
pot if you make your hand. It also has deceptive
value and makes you a much harder read.
6. Don't
Slowplay if your Hand is Vulnerable: If your hand is in danger
to free or cheap cards do not slowplay your
hand. You want to charge them to draw and
not give a player that would fold a free
shot to beat you. This concept correlates
to point 3, you don't want to lose money
already in the pot. The bigger the pot the
stronger this concept!
7. Adjust
your Play Based on the Texture of your
Opponents: If you
are playing aggressive players, induce bluffs
out of them. It will gain you bets and take
away some of their aggression. The looser
the game is the less aggressive you should
play your medium wired pairs. When playing
loose AND passive players you can play more
hands. You will get a lot of volume and opportunities
to make hands cheaply that will get large
payoffs. When playing loose AND aggressive
players play very solid cards. You will make
the best hand more often and the action will
always be available.
8. Assign
Capabilities to Players when Reading Hands: When determining
a read on a players hand, ask yourself what
the propensity and/or capability your opponent(s)
has of making the play you are giving him
credit for. Base your plays on HIS capabilities,
how HE thinks, how HE is emotionally and
how HE reacts.
9. Make
Deception Plays: If you always play the same way, observant
opponents will be able to read you and your
game will lose a great deal of value. Play
unusual hands in strange positions to create
indecision in your opponents minds. Do not
make deception plays against players who
do not take notice or do not understand.
10. Watch
your kicker: Huge money is lost in hold'em
when one player has another "outkicked". Pay attention
and be wary of your "kicker" in
all situations. When you are "outkicked",
often you will only have three cards in which
you can win with. If your opponent flopped
two pair with a better kicker, you are drawing
almost dead. Try not to play hands where
the propensity to be "outkicked" is
high.
