Texas Hold'Em is all
about chips. You start with some chips and your goal is
to take your opponents chips. This is a crucial thing to
remember!! The goal is not to win hands, and it's not to
get good cards - it's to win chips!! Many people, even
seemingly good players, fail to grasp this very simple
first principle.
In Texas Hold'em Poker like in most poker games there
are 52 cards involved. The special feature is that
players have five cards dealt face up in the center of
the table. They are called community cards, shared
cards, window cards or the board cards. There is no
dealer in casinos and poker rooms. When playing at home,
dealer has to be one of the players and after each hand
it has to be changed clockwise. The Dealer's button this
way goes from one player to another also clockwise. It
shows who the dealer is at the moment. The Dealer Button
used to be called the Buck. This name is coming from the
name of a hunting knife's haft made of antler - buck
knife as well as from the impression "The buck stops
here".
General Texas Hold'em Strategy:
Hold'em is basically high card game. The players holding
two good high cards have the best chance at the best
hand or a draw to the best hand after the flop. Only
play strong hands, that will stand a raise or multiple
raises, from early betting positions. Play medium
strength and other playable hands from the later
positions if you have a good chance of seeing the flop
at a reasonable price. Play strong high hands most of
the time, and play them very aggressively. Take all the
raises you can get. If you don't thin out the
competition, you reduce your chances of winning. Plus,
your aggressive play before the flop can add credibility
to any strong play you might want to use on the next
round if a garbage flop falls and you want to try a
steal. Be ready to fold your high pair if you get a lot
of action with a threatening flop.
There is a strategy that can beat any holdem poker game.
Not all strategies will work interchangeably. Because
you are just learning, the assumption is that you will
be starting out at low limit Texas hold'em poker games.
This article is to help you form a strategy that will
beat that game. As you move up in limits and find
tougher opposition, your hold'em strategy will also have
to evolve. |
