31 Winning Texas Holdem Strategies

Most anyone can learn how to play Texas Holdem Poker. To understand the basic game play is a fairly easy task. This is what makes it an attractive game to play for so many people. That being said, very few people have become winning poker players. It not only takes mastering the basic and advanced strategies of the game itself, it takes the ability to master one’s self.

1. Remember, the object of playing Texas Holdem is to win money. The best way to make this crazy game of Texas Holdem an enjoyable one, is to start being a winning player. A lot of people say they just play for fun, but how fun is it to keep losing money every time you play.

2. Set aside a certain amount of money for poker. This money is “Bankroll”. Treat it like you would an investment account. This is going to be your number one way of keeping track of your play on the poker tables.

3. Play with money you can afford to lose. The easiest way to be a losing player is to play with money that you have no business risking. You will have a hard time being able to play correctly, if you are constantly scared of losing the money.

4. Choose the right stakes for your bankroll. No matter how good you are at poker, you are going to experience major swings in your wins and losses. If you are a winning player over the long haul, you are still going to come out ahead. You should play stakes that do not wipe out your bankroll when you are having a bad run of cards.

This also works the opposite way. You might be an average player, but if you always play with people that are worse than you, than you are going to win money consistently.

8. Be confident in your poker skills, but not overly confident. Trust your abilities enough to believe that you are going to win at a certain poker table. Do not get overconfident, though. This is a surefire way for you to let someone sneak up on you and steal your whole stack.

9. When you start to get tired, quit playing for the day. If you start to feel like you are losing an edge because of getting tired, stop playing! This is going to save you a lot of money in the long run.

Many players have the know-how to play good poker, but it is the ability to stay disciplined that separates the good players from the great players. This is the part of the game that isn’t what a lot of people want to hear about how to play good poker. Truth is, sometimes good poker is boring.

15. Be able to change your playing style. If a good player figures out a pattern in your play, they will be able to exploit it easily. Therefore, You have to be able to mix up your play so that you can avoid being taken advantage of.

16. Be selective and aggressive. This goes hand in hand with being disciplined. This is also the heart and soul of winning at Texas holdem. Being a calling station is one of the worst things you can be in poker. The best thing about raising or being aggressive is that it gives you two different ways of winning the hand. First if your opponent can decide to fold whether he has the best hand or not and second if he does call you still may have the best hand against him.

Sure you may get lucky and hit that miracle card every once in a while, but sooner rather than later you are going to go broke. Here is some great blog on the conection between math and poker.

20. If you know you are beat, fold. There is no way to through small amounts of money away when you know you have no chance of winning the hand.

21. Keep a level head when you are on the wrong end of a bad beat. Poker is a game of skill with a huge luck factor involved. This luck factor can really test your nerve some times and if you let bad beats get to you too much you will never be able to play at your best. One way to keep your sanity when you are on the wrong end of a bad beat is to try and remember all the times you have gotten lucky when you shouldn’t have and realize it is just part of poker.
