GENERAL POKER STRATEGY - TEXAS HOLD'EM
Obviously Texas Hold’em is the most popular game being played. There is a fine line between a good hand in Hold’em and a marginal hand. Three of a kind can be very profitable in Hold’em, while two pair often costs players a tremendous amount of money. Two pair just looks so good, but it is certainly not worth the money many players bet on it. I can’t tell you how many times I see a player go all-in immediately with two pair and get wiped out by another player. It is typically the worst played hand in Hold’em...
Basic strategy in Hold’em online is based on how well you pay attention to the styles of each player at the table. The loose players are easy to spot and take advantage of. You simply wait until you have a powerful hand and let them run themselves into a hole with their bluffs. This is a strategy based on patience and observation. The loose player will typically play different when they actually have a good hand. Observing the different styles of a poor loose player will help you to easily identify the strength of his or her hand. The challenge with these players is to be the one at the table to take their money first.
The tight players are often much harder to crack. They are in very few hands so their playing style takes longer to figure out. The first challenge is identifying them. It is easy to ignore opponents who participate in very few hands. This is a skill new players have to learn and it cannot be done while playing multiple tables or while watching TV. When these players are in a hand you can be sure they have excellent hole cards. Do not be afraid of them, but be aware that you will often need a strong hand to beat them.
Tight players often fall into a pattern, but it takes patience to discern it. A tight player making a decent raise before the flop often can take a pot with nothing by simply raising again after the flop. Use the face-up cards and a well timed re-raise to take a few pots from the tight players. A flop full of face cards is a bad time to try this, but if the cards are low, the tight players are bluffing much of the time with their post-flop raise. Remember, these players tend to only play with the best hands and are typically not interested in throwing a large amount of money into a pot if they have nothing really good. If you get a chance, try tripling the raise of a tight player after the flop. I think you will find you take a few more nice pots than you would ever expect, even when you have nothing.
