Poker Strategy

Pay attention! Unlike chess, or other strategy based games, poker is a game of incomplete information.
The more information you have, the bigger your edge over the other players. Pay attention to what players seem to bluff too often. Which players who will never call a big bet without the nuts. Pay attention to the flow of the game. Is the table full of wild players throwing money in with any holdings preflop, or are you sitting at a rock garden where players are waiting forever to get a top five hand? Once you’ve observed the players and the way the game is going you’ll be able to adapt and pick the best course of action on how you should modify your own play. Playing pokers with others is not like a computer simulation where there is always one way to play, to get to that next level, you’ll have to learn one of poker’s greatest weapons, which is to shift gears accordingly. And paying attention is the first step in that process.

Everyone commenting will be in a random draw for 2 x $3 in prizes.
