"learn the secrets of poker"
what are the five most important weapons to use in a game of texas hold em?

1. Join cardschat (you're already 20% done, congratulations )
2. Find the hand analysis forums and start reading
3. Find the golden archives and start reading
4. Post hands in the hand analysis forums and ask questions
5. Try out ideas on the tables

No magic bullets - which five weapons are most useful to you depends on how much experience you have and what you already know about.

Welcome and see you at the tables!

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Lovely post GD

1) position

2) position

3) position

4) well timed aggression.

5) when you think you know everything ...... you don't.

Be confident yet satisfied with mediocrity!!!!

Dont let yourself get cocky after a big win or sulk after a big loss

Simply play YOUR style of winning poker!!

Theres single promising way to play, rather several!!!

1) Patience
2) Willing to ready, study, learn
3) Control tilt
4) Bankroll management
5) Well timed aggression by careful observations of your opponents

Position, Patience, Perseverance, Practice and Pay Attention

I found these 5 smooth-stones by the brook....i wonder maybe there are some more smoother ones?....feel free to share our wisdom and build each other up maybe you will meet up at real wsop table and laugh...WISDOM=RICHES

#1 position...............raise out others junk-cards if your first,....

#2 strong hands.......increased calculated mathmatical strength.

#3 odds...................are in your favor?..keep and work them in your fvr.

#4 survive...............remain at tables to final table.

#5 watch.................players getting eliminated,and learn your oppnents.

Bankroll Management
Discipline
Knowledge
Attention
Odds

1) Sit at my table, I'm a spew-tard
2) Play me hu4rlz, see #1

That pretty much covers it, don't even need the other 3

1. Pay attention to you opponents style of play
2. Patience
3. Position
4. Patience (it is doubly important)
5. Good luck, which is after all "why they call it gambling".

5 things not to do

1. Tilt
2. Drink and play "unless your Gavin Smith"
3. Think you can out play your table with little effort
4. Try to re coop your loses when you should be sleeping, tommorow is another day
5. Play tables above your bankroll

I find the biggest secret might be the most little used. Everyone plays AA KK. But I like to sit back before the flop and see how many stay in. If a lot of action is in front of me I will stay with 35 off. I would figure that a lot of big cards are already in play.

as much as this will work sometimes on a really tight table, in general this is not a +EV move to be making all the time.

One general rule of thumb is to do the opposite of what the table is doing. If its loose, tighten up; if its tight, float a few calls.

play your player

read people

dont beraid people, and avoid tilt

play correct poker

etc.

1. forget about odds (they are rubbish)
2. play as much aggressive poker as you can.. if you need to go all in every hand then do so..
3. bankroll management ? are you serious? that's for losers.. If you deposit $50 on pokerstars then dont even bother playing penny tables.. join in 50/100 game and keep going all in... you`ll make so much more money then playing penny tables.
4. tilt.. they all say it is not good to be on one.. but tilt makes you act strange.. you start making unpredictable moves and this throws your opponents off.. i sometimes put myself on tilt on purpose...
5. position? what?? see. here is the trick.. everyone keeps saying position, position, position.. let them think this way.. you gonna be different.. Raise with any card from UTG and the closer to the button the tighter you should become.. so if you are on the button dont raise unless you have AA, KK or AK, sometime i raise with QQ also but i dont like to do that because obviously SB and BB are still behind you and they might be holding AA or KK an you will be drawing to 2 outs.
6.Books, articles, all those things are overrated.. why should you listen to all these guys? be unpredictable come out with your own strategy..
7. Well.. good luck mate.. maybe one day you`ll be as good as Jamie Gold the poker GOD himself....

sorry i couldn't resist..

1. Make good reads
2. Make good reads
3. Make good reads
4. Make good reads.
5. Make good reads.

In a tournament?.. patience and well-timed aggression.

I can't make a list of the key components that make for winning NLHE. Perhaps, 'the will to win' & 'the desire to learn' would be 'key'.

There are just so many components that go into one's game that to just suggest a few wouldn't be doing it justice.

If you're personally interested in playing winning poker, I'd STRONGLY suggest to get your hands on some good poker books that are relative to what you're playing (ie. if it's tournaments, pick up Harrington On Holdem series). Books are a great foundation to build from. Tons of ways to expand upon that and many are listed above.

Actually, you forgot the most important action for the style of play you suggest. NEVER EVER look at your hole cards. Too much info will just confuse you!

Play tight aggressive and play the speculative hands in position and make a good reading of the opponents, with strong hands be very aggressive to give discomfort to the opponents, good luck at the tables.

putting yourself on tilt?really?you just cant change your style from time to time.......never heard a poker player say ....well hell,i just put myself on tilt w/e i want to....he must be the BEST poker player on cardschat............im all cornfused now!

maybe you should write a book on how youve figgured it all out...i mean my god man,how can you tell people this b.s.?i thought maybe for a min it was a joke....but then i realized your serious!and yes......im still cornfused!

patience, play and study

1. Be patient.

2. Play less hands out of position and more hands in position.


3. Don't play poker when upset or when you have other things on your mind.


4. When you lose a big hand, learn from it and move on don't dwell on the past.


5. Trust you first instinct.

The best advice i can give you is to avoid tilt .. stay calm .. and think about every hand and never stop thinking about situations players tells etc

Poker is a game where you need volume hands, and then play the EV of your hands.Most of all you need a strong element of luck.
Many times the run out of the cards will crush your skillful play and you will become despondent.
My advice don't use what you can't afford to lose.

main secrets is patience, position and know when to fold. if you not patient you can lose. If you play out of position you can lose. If you don't know when to fold and play any cards, you can lose.

My view is to play the players first and then play the cards. If I know what to expect what I have in my hand is secondary.

Hey.
1) Read many books
2) During the losses do not get discouraged and do not stop playing. Get used to playing no matter what. Do not stop until you win.
3) Do not play with a small bankroll.
4) Find the best kind of game and play only in it, be a professional in one sphere.
5) Find friends who play poker.

1. Bank roll management.
2. Keep studying, and restudying. Always try to think about how to improve.
3. Play when your in your best frame of mind, in the poker mind set. Stay focused.
4. Learn your opponents. This is a game of playing the player, not playing your cards.
5. Remember, its a game! Have fun! Don't be too hard on your self! Learn from your mistakes!


Good luck out there! Happy grinding!

Position & Initiative

I like most of these responses.

Put yourself in the best position to win and manage your winnings.

Bankroll management and learn, learn and learn) + Practice ofc

I do not think there is a specific formula

If you know the rules of the game and the combination, then determine which discipline you will play (cache, MTT, SnG, Sit & Go.....?)
because they play differently ...

It's to become aggressive to acquire knowledge of a poker.
