Different Ways Of Playing Poker To Win

By Byron Jonas


If you enjoy the game of poker and enjoy winning even more, there are a number of things that you can do. There are different ways of playing poker to win and you are capable of learning them. Whether you play for big bucks or for the joy of taking the most hands, pay attention to these tips.

If any player tells you they are not in the game to win, is either a fool or a liar. Everyone wants to win and keeping your eyes open for that chance to win is something you must do. This can be done in part by knowing what your opponents anticipated moves are. Being right will increase your chances of winning.

Reading an opponents face is vital to this game. The less you can see on a persons face, theirs and yours, the less the opponents know what that contestant is thinking. Always be upbeat even if you have a terrible hand. There have been winners who had nothing in their hand but managed to bluff their way into taking the pot.

Many players will learn the strategy of being able to read the cards. Some players are so adept at doing this they are not allowed to play in some casino's. A good player has an innate ability to know what cards are still in play just by seeing the up cards on the table.

Another ploy is to never allow opponents at the table to anticipate what you are going to do. This will occur when you continue using the same strategies over and over. Just like the opponent that is good at reading your face, they also become adept at knowing what you are going to do. Change your strategy when you play and increase your odds of winning.

It doesn't matter how you are playing the game, all of these tips will apply. It can be a friendly game with neighbors; indulging in online play; or becoming a tournament member; all these tips will increase the chances of you coming out the big winner. Online play disallows the option of reading ones face but everything else applies.

The most important tip is to refrain from alcohol when playing this game of strategy. It calls for an alert mind and one that is altered by even one drink could mean the difference between winning and losing. If nothing seems to matter because the cards are just not coming your way, there is not a lot you can do about it. There are occasions when your worst opponent is lady luck.
