In my time as a card player, I've found these 7 simple mistakes to be responsible for TONS of lost pots and
lost money...
Ultimately, if you make them, you'll end up like the rest of the "suckers" out there. Either that, or you'll give up at poker (claiming that it's based on "luck"), and never play again...
So, here are the seven mistakes to avoid:
1. Getting Too Emotional
Don't let your emotions come out at the card table! It's easy to get "into" the game, but you've got to practice self-control! By staying cool, calm, and disciplined, you'll be able to concentrate on your strategy and winning the hand.
2. Focusing Too Much On The Cards
Remember, poker is about the PLAYERS rather than the HANDS. Sure, what cards you have is definitely important, but the only way to consistently WIN Texas Hold 'EM poker is if you are able to "read" the other players at the table. Study their habits, watch their faces, observe their peculiarities... and THEN focus on your own hand.
3. Folding Instead Of Checking
Don't fold if you can check! Unless it's part of some "bigger strategy" you've got going you can just check instead.
4. Trying Too Hard To "Fool" The Opponent
Many beginners try to deliberately "fool" the other players by "acting" a certain way.This usually backfires.
Most people are good at reading body language, and your pretending will only give you away. A better strategy is to let your ACTIONS fool the other players. Keep your poker face straight and calm and let them fall for the bait by making bets or placing action in ways that will confuse them.
5. Being Too Consistent
The easiest way to win easy money at the poker table is to just study a person's habits for awhile, and then take advantage of them hand-by-hand because they're so predictable. Don't be this kind of sucker! If you make the same moves and same bets at the table every time you play, other players will pick up on it so fast that you'll be out of chips in no time. Be "spontaneous" in a calculated way, and be unpredictable. It will frustrate the other players... and you'll win all their chips.
6. Not Adapting To The Skill Level Of Others
Everyone knows that some of poker's greats are most frequently beat by BEGINNING players at the card table. A lot of professionals refuse to play with "newbies" because they know there's such a high risk of losing and being embarrassed. So how exactly can these beginners beat these PROS? It's simple. The pros are SO MUCH BETTER at poker, that they are actually FOOLED by how BAD these new players are. The pros are USED TO playing against other pros... which makes it difficult for them to even "remember" how to play against beginners. Every card table is different. You need to learn how to adapt your game to each different situation... Sometimes you'll have to increase the complexity of your strategy. Other times you'll need to "dumb down" the strategy and only focus on the habits of the players.
7. Not Getting Help.
You weren't BORN knowing how to play Texas Hold 'Em. You were TAUGHT how to play. The problem is, most players never bother to take their skills to the NEXT LEVEL, by getting professional instruction. In less than a few hours, you can increase your skill at this game TREMENDOUSLY. You can win more pots... night after night... and discover the secrets to making tons of cash playing poker in your spare time. I've been playing this game for over 13 years, and I can show you the way. But it's up to YOU to take the next step.
