Winning Texas Hold'em is not complicated ! Winning Texas Hold'em online is not complicated. The enormous volume of bad players online make winning easy. All you have to do is play the statistical favorites and they will pay you. It doesn't take a math genius or a slyful crafty bluffmaster. What it takes is the application of two character traits. They are: 1. Patience, and; You must have patience to play only the best starting hands. You must have the discipline to fold your hand when you are probably losing. You must also have patience and discipline to continue playing only the best starting hands. Even very good hold'em players forget this from time to time. Starting Hands You must have the PATIENCE to play only the best starting hands. It's true that any two hole cards can win. But it is equally true that the best hole card hands win MORE. If you pay money to see every hand before the flop you will surely be a loser. But, where do you draw the line? HERE
You should raise preflop with the hands in the raisers column. You should call preflop with the hands in the callers column. AND THESE ARE THE ONLY HANDS YOU SHOULD BE PLAYING OUTSIDE THE BIG BLIND. YOU MUST FOLD EVERYTHING ELSE ! You should be in for LESS THAN 35% OF THE FLOPS YOU WATCH. IF MORE, YOU WILL LOSE MONEY ! IF YOU CONSISTENTLY PLAY ONLY THE HANDS IN THIS GROUP, YOU WILL WIN MONEY OVER THE LONG HAUL ! IT'S A FACT, IT'S PROVEN, IT IS STATISTICALLY CORRECT, AND EVERY PROFITABLE ONLINE TEXAS HOLD'EM PLAYER USES THIS STRATEGY. (or one very much like it) End of story. Your decision to play or not play based on the first two cards is the most important decision you make. YOU MUST BE PATIENT If you easily get bored, or want to play more hands, OPEN TWO OR THREE TABLES AND ONLY PLAY THESE BEST TWO HOLE CARDS ON ALL OF THEM. (party poker allows you to play up to 3 tables simultaneously) AFTER THE FLOP After the flop, you should only continue to bet or call if you have at least : 1. A Good Pair, or; 1. What's a Good Pair? 2. What's a Good Draw? a. four to a flush, IF YOUR HAND AFTER THE FLOP DOES NOT SATISFY AT LEAST THESE CONDITIONS, DO NOT CALL, DO NOT BET, SAVE YOUR MONEY, GET OUT OF THE HAND. BLUFFING Three words, ' DON'T DO IT ! ' It is almost impossible to get everyone to fold at lower limit online texas hold'em. If you have nothing, you will lose 9 out of 10 times on a bluff. Just play your winning cards and fold the rest. or READ A TEXAS HOLD'EM BOOK SUMMARY This simple strategy will make you money in the long run, if you have the PATIENCE and DISCIPLINE to stick to it. It will be difficult for you when you see that sometimes the two cards you held would have won the hand, or, when you see that someone else wins a hand with cards that are not recommended her. You can comfort yourself by knowing 1) that you are saving money in the long run by not playing those hands, because you would lose more than you would win with them and that; 2) Those players are making statistically incorrect decisions and THEY WILL PAY YOU OVER THE LONG HAUL!
