Pointers on Texas Holdem
A tight player generally only plays the "nuts" early on, but then they know you have a read on them and their style of play, so in the later rounds they try stealing the pot with a big bet. If you have a feeling they might be trying to steal the pot, again raise their bet. If a tight player is quick to call, more than likely they have a hand to fold. Otherwise with your raise, a tight player will put you on a higher hand, fold and wait until their hand comes along.
Watch how players are betting and remember that, so if it comes to a show down and cards are turned over, you'll get a good read on their betting style. If they have a made hand or were they on a draw? Did they bet on the flop, turn and river, or slow play their hand? It's very important to learn how others play in order to win in the later rounds when the blinds are higher.
Playing Pocket Pairs. a couple things I suggest, if its early in a game wait to see a flop. The more players at the table, the riskier it is to go all-in. Wait until you see the flop and then if you pocket pair is higher than the board, bet aggressive and see how others react. If over cards come out and someone bets big, do not be afraid to fold your card. Be cautious to what the board gives you, does it give other players an opportunity at a straight or flush? Aces cracked going all in pre-flop. Later in the game and with less players, pocket pairs increase in strength, Because you are not on a draw, unless someone else has a pocket pair that is higher than yours.
Bluffing, this is a big part of the game. A lot of players seem to be bluffing more. You need to get a feel on other player playing styles in order to get a read on them to determine if it is a bluff or strong hand. All players bluff to win a pot, you have to think if you need a bluff win. A player that doesn't get caught in bluffs early on, it makes it harder to bluff and win once the pot is larger in the later rounds. Don't get caught early and often, players are more than likely to call your bets and tells that you don't have hand.
On TILT? Another important part of this game is to control your emotions. We all take bad beats or fold a winning hand, it's a part of the game, but if you get upset or go on tilt, you will not win! Stand up for a minute, sit out a hand, get your thoughts together, put it behind you and get re-focused.
Always remember to be patient and play solid hands. It's a marathon not a sprint. A Thought to play by; it's always better to rake a small pot than to lose a big one.
