Making money from texash holdem

Ideally, always know what the best possible hand on the table is, this is called the "nuts", if there are several players still in the pot and heavy betting, one of them probably has it. E.g. If the board shows K hearts, Q diamonds, 10 spades, 8 clubs and 7 hearts, then the best possible hand is a high straight Ace, K, Q, J, 10, if you have Ace, J, you have it and should play aggressively, if you have J, 9 be careful.

Recognize early when you have the best hand, the "nuts", as this will maximize your betting and raising opportunities. If you have the "nuts", you can't lose, the worst that can happen is you will share the pot, so push the pot up.

Play more cautiously when you are the first to bet, (to the left of the big blind), as re-raises can be expensive. Position is an advantage in Texas Hold'em, when you are the last one to act, you are in a much better position. If you are the big blind, and no one has raised you will always see the flop.

When a player first sits down at a table, they will be required to post the equivalent of the big blind. All players have the option of sitting out and waiting until it is actually their turn to be the big blind before they play.

This rule ensures fairness to all players, by preventing players from hopping in and out of the games, and leaving before their turn to post the big blind.

These are the commonly accepted Top 10 Pocket cards in Texas Hold'em:

1. AA
2. KK
3. QQ
4. JJ
5. AK Suited
6. TT
7. AK Mixed
8. AQ Suited
9. KQ Suited
10. AJ Suited

Finally, poker is a fun game, so have lots of fun, but don't get carried away. It is fun to bluff, but it can be very costly. It’s only a bluff when you win; if you lose it was risky.

Why The Heck Its So Popular?!?!

Texas Hold'em is one of the fastest and most exciting games of poker, and probably the most popular. It can have up to 10 players each hand, more than most poker games, and usually operates the lowest limit games in the cardroom.

Texas Hold'em is a more complex game than first appears, especially when using the community cards. Always remember that everyone on the table can use the 5 community cards, and their two hole cards may be better than yours.

The best way to practice Texas Hold'Em is to deal out 5 community cards, and see what the best possible hand is, and then work backwards to lower hands. Then add two hole cards. This will get you used to looking at possible variations.

Online poker has experienced a huge increase in popularity due to many factors. The many television programs, the convenience of playing from home at any time, the ease of depositing and withdrawing funds, and many other factors contribute to this popularity.

Many people feel uncomfortable in a live poker room, others find it inconvenient to find a room to play at, so turning on the pc and joining a game is the perfect solution
There are currently over 60 million individuals who play Texas Hold’em online, and yet only a hand full of poker players know these secrets - why is that?

• First off, if every online poker player had this poker knowledge, the competition online would be too strong.

• Second, if the fish (the weak players of which professionals make their money off of) attained this information, they will be no longer any "fish in the sea."

• And last, online poker pros are just too embarrassed to admit they are using these secrets because it makes them look weak.

No one wants to be known to have secret aids helping them win at online poker - it's too humiliating!

two places to the left of the dealer, will have to pay the Large Blind,

and the player to the immediate left of the dealer will have to bet half

as much for the Small Blind

Bluff : To bet strongly with a poor hand, as if you have strong hand

in an attempt to make others fold.

Board : The visible cards in a poker game.

Bottom Pair : The lowest pair on the board in Hold'em or Omaha.

My Recent Game Part #2

.... So the plop comes down,
a 6, 7, and a queen, phhewww that was close,
For now "buddy" holds the lead upon "cocky", witch makes me happy,since cocky
is the most dominant player in the game. If buddy wins he will make cocky weaker,
and it will be much easier to beat buddy then cocky.

Here comes the turn, cocky holds a pocket 4'r , buddy holds a pocket kings,
If cocky hits a 4 he wins! Please dont make it a 4, I think to myself.
Its a 5! Excellent , Buddy almost wins this hand. I mean, What are the chances that the river will be a 4!
Well acctually There are 54,912 possible three of a kind hands which are not also full houses;
the probability of being dealt one in a five-card hand is… 54,912/2,598,960 = 2.1%
I think to myself.
Here comes the river, I can see buddy's stress from a mile without even looking,
As I fucos my eyes on Cocky, he looks calm confident, like almost he knew it going to be a ...... FOUR!!!! a four !!!!I cant believe its a FOUR, Cocky have a three of a kind of 4's, Buddy holds a pocket kings! Poor buddy.Its so
That lucky bastard.
Cocky screams, Buddy cries, I feel sorry for buddy as I see Cocky spread his dirty hands and pull the chips to his stash!
Buddy is out.
"dont worry buddy I will get him next hand"......

My Recent Game..... Part # 1

I was called to play with some friends of mine a few days ago,
We met up 20:00 at one of the guy's house.
"$50 buy in" one of them called.
"I’m going to take your money today Michael!"
one of them said, " I heard you know how to play some Texas" ....
I didn’t really knew the guy, he was a friend of a friend,
But I knew who was my target for today.

So we started playing, we were 9 players for a pretty long time, and this cocky guy was playing very aggressive I’m telling ya, "All in" cocky says , just right after he got his cards. I knew he was bluffing, its the fifth time he does that and nobody calls. But with my 9, 3 off suit, I will never call his bet. I’ve folded.

"I call" the guy right next to me said.
Even though cocky had a pretty good poker face I could see his surprise spiked with fear impression when this guy called his all in.

Cocky had a Pocket 4's, A pocket 4'r? and you go all in? pre flop? a bad bet if you ask me, especially when playing so many hands in a table.
the other guy had a guess what, pocket kings.
Good job buddy, I was thinking to myself, now someone is going to show cocky what is the price for being hasty and cocky in Texas holdem.
