The Key To Winning Poker

2009 Dec 28

Playing aggressive isn’t just about throwing in big raises and making wild bets.
It means putting in those raises and bets with value when the situation is right.

What’s one attribute that most successful poker players possess?
Is it the ability to read people?
A knowledge of number?
A good grasp of the fundamentals of the game?
The best answer to that question is actually “aggression”.

If you want to be a winning poker player you must be aggressive.
A lot of bad poker players find it hard to be aggressive at the table, and their passive tendencies make them fish bait for the sharks.
Some people say you can’t teach a poker player to be aggressive because it’s a natural instinct.
However, if you sat down a fish with a pro and showed him how being aggressive helps him win, it would definitely help them see why it’s so important.

Before we get too far let’s explain the difference between playing aggressive and playing like a donk.
Playing aggressive isn’t just about throwing in big raises and making wild bets.
That’s plain stupid play, not aggressive play.
Being aggressive means putting in those raises and bets with value when the odds are in your favor, or you think you can bluff the pot, or you’ve picked up a tell from your opponent that you can exploit.
Playing like a donk is throwing in a huge bet with no reasoning to back that bet up.
This would include chasing improbable draws and trying to bluff at the wrong time.

Playing aggressive will give you an advantage over your opponent because it puts all the pressure on them.
They have to make all their decisions in reaction to your moves.
By putting this preasure on your opponent you open up more instances in which they might make a mistake and pay you off.

There are three things that playing aggressive will do to help your game…

Reduces the number of players – When you’re always betting and raising nobody can check or call a small bet to get a free or cheap card.
This should limit the number of players playing against you, unless you’re up against a bunch of donks.
The number of players you are up against makes a big difference no matter what cards you are holding.
You’ll hear some donks say that by betting and raising you’re keeping the pot from growing.
This is actually false, and it doesn’t matter how big the pot is if you allow players with crap cards to tag along to the river cheap, only for them to get lucky and beat you with a hand you could have made them fold by betting.
Increases the pot size – Playing aggressive really does keep the pot growing.
If you’re repeatedly betting and raising it will make it harder for other players to know when you’re playing a strong hand and when you’re bluffing with garbage.
Since you’re hard to read you will receive more calls when you bet big instead of having everyone fold, leaving you only the blinds.
Think of it like this: “Two players calling a bet of $100 creates a bigger pot than four players calling a bet of $25″.
You can win two ways – If you’re betting and raising you can win two different ways.
You can either win with the best hand or you can win by causing everyone else to fold.
If you’re not aggressive no one will ever fold to your bets and you’ll only win when you have the best hand.
That’s playing by luck instead of skill.
Remember the old adage – “luck fades, skills doesn’t”.

Poker Rookie – Dealing With Maniacs

2009 Jul 16

I came across this great poker article, writen by David Harrison.

I’m posting this here because it explains, in a clear way how to deal with all those rookies that enter the poker rooms…

So read a long… enjoy…

One of the hardest things to deal with at the poker table is the play of a “maniac”.
A poker maniac will play any hand, and dump raise after raise on the table even when the cards call for a fold.
Going up against a maniac can be frustrating becayse they’re so dificult to read, and it can be impossible to know if they’re holding pocket Aces or 7-2.

Poker maniacs usually fall into one of two categories.
They’re either a brilliant tactician who actually knows exactly what they’re doing and plays ultra-aggressive, but still very smart.
Then there’s the idiot maniac who flies by the seat of his pants and might as well be flipping a coin to make his decisions.
If you’re playing at low liimits, most of the maniacs you’ll come across will more likely fall into the idiot category.

Many inexperienced poker players end up getting beat up by a maniac because they don’t know how to deal with them.

The wrong approach to take is to go after the maniac with their own game.
Unless you can be even more aggressive than the maniac, or get lucky over and over, butting heads with a maniac head-on isn’t smart poker because you’re not always playing with the odds in your favor.

If your opponent is going into a hand with junk and you’re going after him with more junk, you’re not giving yourself any kind of advantage to stick it to him like you really want.
Don’t even bother attempting a bluff with a maniac.
If they’re willing to make or call a raise with a hand you don’t even feel comfortable checking with, then why would you expect them to run from whatever large bet you make?

Toppling a maniac takes patience to wait for hands that you can bet with confidence, and we mean bet big.

To successfully battle a maniac you need to be very aggressive when you’ve got good cards.
You need to bleed out as many chips as you can when you make a hand, so throw in large bets and hope that the maniac continues to play crazy, either he calls you, or if you’re real lucky he will throw in a raise.
Even if you do somehow force the psycho into folding, at least the chips are going your way.

The most important thing to remember when confronting a poker maniac is to avoid going on tilt at all costs.
Putting other players on tilt, and causing them to make bad plays and bad bets, is how the maniac makes money at the poker tables.
Maniacs are going to get lucky sometimes, and a lot of the time it seems like they get cards more than everyone else at the table, even though they probably aren’t.

Even if a poker maniac flops a 7 and turns over a 2 when he’s holding 7-2 versus your pocket Aces (yes this actually happens!), you still have to keep your cool or you’d be better off handling over your entire stack without playing another hand.
Don’t chase down improbable draws just because you have a chance to bust a maniac if you hit it.

Remember keep you cool, keep your head on straight, and use the poker maniac’s outlandish play again them.

Good Luck! © by David Harrison
