You need to practice and constantly play poker. If you want to become a better player, then you need to play with players who play better than you. Learn from the masters.

If I knew how to be the best at poker, then I wouldn't be working and playing freerolls.

You have to feel the game, and what is the best - to rule it out :top:

There is no feel, like some say here.
There is study, study and study again.

Luck is something any donk can have. To have an edge in poker, you have to count more on skills rather than luck.

I believe the best poker player is someone who base his game on reading opponents, adapting his playing style and exploit them. Also knowing their math, he must know when its best to call, when to bet, how much to bet and when to fold.

You need to have a well balanced game. You need to observe your table and it's players. Make adjustments as you play so you have an edge.

Let's keep in mind there is a reason probability and statistics is taught in many classes in mathematics departments in higher education.

Doyle Brunson said 'play the person, not the cards'

But I think in order to play the person? You actually need to bring in yet even MORE statistics... The probability if they have a tell in a live game, the probability they are playing with an observed pattern.

Take me, I so often limp my way to 4th street before I decide I want to go big.

Now, I also make it to final table a LOT, I never feel I have to win it all - in one hand.

I'm content with consistent slow steady gains. I can't win every hand.

In fact, the more players? The more I have to accept I'll not be in a good many hands.

Then again, I so often will follow far more hands early in a tournament, the blinds being so cheap.

By limping, and playing like a nit, by mid tournament I have earned a reputation as a nit, and eventually, a pot comes my way that I let someone else build up? and I am all set to go, and go figure, when I do bet far more than I normally do? 95% of the table just folds folds folds folds- and you just know they are ALL saying 'Oh god, the nit has something - I'm folding' and go figure- that is my earned golden bluff.

And that leads me into my the finality of my rant.

One benefit of unemployment is the time you have to watch 12 hours of pros on youtube - 30 days +... And the ONE thing I have learned from watching pro cash games and tournaments?

Is the mastery of the bluff. It is ONLY through some MODERATE bluffing, you gain by analogy to the house edge ? 'the game edge'.

You HAVE to go after bluffs, and my favorite way is to play limping first half the tournament - EARN that title of NIT - TIGHT NIT.

All I know is, I reach final table a LOT and I only get there by patience, playing the rodeo clown here and there, playing the nit, and no kidding, near reaching final table? that's when MOST people START to play like a nit, and THAT is when I loosen up. A bluff near END game is HUUUUUUUGE - just ONE hand end game is 30x more chips than you'd ever bet in the first half of the tournament.

I best not prattle on - those are my two cents.

Studying away from the table is a sure way to improve. This includes watching hand analysis, game theory, reading books and articles on poker. This will give you an idea of what kind of game works for you. Always analyzing hands you've played to find mistakes you've made and holes in your game. There's no silver to be one of the greatest player. Many hours of play time and implementing the techniques you've learned will get you to elite status.

Play as much as is possible. Its like a 15-handicap golfer who is shocked that he can't get much better than he already is and then you find out that he only plays 3 times a month and hits the range a few times a year.

Playing more often allows you to become more comfortable with different opponents styles of play, variance, etc., and to develop a style of play that you are most comfortable with.

Hello.
First of all you need to clearly understand your goal.
Secondly, you need to write a clear plan to achieve your goal.
Thirdly, you need to carry out your plan every day, and move step by step to achieve your goal.

I think you have to have both, but the main thing is to study.

Estrategy or good luck?


To become the best poker player you need to own all the elements of the game better than the other players own them. In the current situation at the current time - it's almost impossible. My advice to you is not living a dream - spend a lot of energy, nerves and time. Try to play in pleasure and develop, and then time will tell. Strategy is only a small part, luck is changeable, and the psychology of poker should be very developed - remember this.
