Poker And Getting Rid of Your First Time Nerves

I really have sympathy for you if you've decided to play poker for the first time and you've decided that you're brave enough to try playing against live players. I wish you all the luck and offer our condolences in advance... I am kidding! Of course, we're not here to grieve for your losses in poker in advance. If you're a first time player and you want to play against live players, then good for you. And we're here to help by providing you with useful tips that just may be the keys you need to survive round after round of poker. Now, first time players are what most poker veterans refer to as "calling stations". If you're wondering about the logic behind the term, it's basically because most first time poker players have the tendency to call almost all bets without even sparing a moment's thought on their decisions. Obviously, if you don't want to be viewed as a "calling station" (egad!), gain the respect of your fellow poker players and maybe a share of their chips also, think before you act. Poker is not just any card game. It's a mental game, a strategic competition between several players. If you feel that your nerves are getting the better of you, here are some tips to get rid of cold feet. Don't pressure yourself by comparing your skills to other players'. That's a futile exercise. Naturally, you can't compare. You're playing for the first time and they're, what, celebrating their one millionth game? If you accept that, there's nothing to lose yet there's no harm in trying, you'll feel much better later on and be able to concentrate more on the game. Don't turn your fellow players into gods. Okay, so you've heard about your opponents' reputations. Say, one is called The Crocodile because of his ability to snatch you out of the game in seconds and the other one's called The Rampaging Elephant because he's always aggressive when it comes to bets. Remind yourself that before they got their monickers, they were also, once in their lives, christened as "calling stations"...just like you. If it helps, mentally replace their faces with funny looking ones to lessen your feelings of inferiority. And lastly...relax. I know, it's easier said than done, but you truly have to relax. Block out everything except for the cards you're holding and mentally hum a happy song to yourself. If you let external factors get the better of you, you're dead meat. But if you succeed in relaxing and focusing completely on your game, you may just have gotten rid of your nerves for the final time.

In's and Out's of Performing a Poker Game Download

Making a poker game download requires a bit of space on your computer, and following directions once the download begins. It's as simple as that! Once you have finished performing the download, you merely need to take a virtual tour, read the rules to each type of game offered, and then fund your play. If you've never played poker before, it behooves you to carefully read the poker rules and strategy of whatever type of game play interests you. Now most good sites will have thousands of people playing poker at the same time, which enables you to easily find other players as well as selecting games whose limits fit within your playing budget. One of the things that makes Internet poker games exceedingly interesting is that you can choose what language you wish, unlike real casinos where everything happens in the language of the physical site of the casino. Even when you wish to make a deposit to play poker, you will find that ordinarily the download site is equipped to accept the denominations you currently hold. Some poker downloads allow you to play with "funny" money, so you do not have to make any deposits. Unfortunately, this also means that you cannot win or lose real money, which makes the game much less interesting to most people. Often you can spot the better downloads by how many different games of poker are offered. In "real life" the variations of playing poker are very large, thus those sites that attract the most people include many diverse types of poker games.

How To Be A Better Bluffer

Bluffing is a big part of playing poker and if executed properly and successfully can decimate your opponents and give you a great table image. The rest of your fellow players will be wary of you when you bet big and represent that you have something - even if you do not. But just how does one bluff. Here are a few pointers which may help you. Do not bluff too often and pick your moments using your table position and when you sense weakness in your opponent. Also chose carefully which of your opponents you will attempt to bluff. No point making a move on a player who will not be pushed off a hand regardless. Learn to identify such players and target your bluffs accordingly. Believe in yourself. Think positively when you go for it especially when playing live in the casino or poker club. Positive power of thought will project through your general demeanour and make you appear confident even if you are not. Your opponents looking for a tell may well be fooled in to thinking you really have that magic hand and fold even if you have rags. If you are not confident this can project itself too and your opponents will pick up that you are trying it on. Prepare to wave goodbye to your chips. Throw the others off the scent by being a consistent bluffer. That means when you do make a move do so in a consistent way. Bet the same and mirror your mannerisms in just the same way when you do have a great hand. Your opponent will not know where you are coming from. Conversely a large over bet when attempting a bluff can be picked up on as a move so out of your general table image that your bluff will be called. Do not try it on too early after you sit at the table especially in tournament poker play. Take your time to size up your opponents and there styles of play. Size them up and mentally note down your potential targets for a bluff and who is likely to be pushed off a hand. You do need to develop your bluffing skills to be a good poker player so do take the opportunity to do so. It will not always work and you will lose some however you will win plenty of hands as well. And it feels good too.

The Best Advice I Ever Got

It's funny how life works sometimes. In my pursuit of being a successful poker player, I've read a lot of stuff that's aimed to stimulate the mind, and the best piece advice I ever received from the many self-help books and articles I've read is..."If you want to be successful in your endeavors, you need to follow someone who's had the level of success you want." Tiger Woods is someone I truly admire. Here's a guy who's won 69 Titles including 14 Majors and is still not satisfied...He continues to work and work and work...he accepts anything less than the best out of himself, and when he doesn't do well in a golf tournaments, he figures out what he did wrong, and tries rectify it in his next tournament. His persistence and strive to be the best is something I try to incorporated in my life. You can't be satisfied with what you have...you have to go beyond and keep climbing that mountain to success. Cause the moment you "Settle" is the moment you give up. Poker has ups and downs. You feel high when you win and feeling like crap when you lose, but it's the journey that keeps me going and it's the journey that going to make the top of the mountain. I'm very confident I'll achieve my goal! Some will say, you can't be a successful gambling, let along a poker player, but who says you can't. It's all about self confidence and believing in your dreams.

Joke of the Week - Phil Hellmuth and his Mobile Poker Game

It is quite well-known that Phil Hellmuth likes to show off and be in the spotlight. Once a legendary poker player, Hellmuth only gets on the news because of some humongously stupid act these days. This time, he is trying to market his brand new High Stakes Hold'em game with a quite amateur video and an improvised rap performance. This might sound funny at first, but it is in fact totally awkward. You can view the ad below, but be warned: you will never get back the time you waste by watching this! :)
