Even Poker pros say that Poker is one game that’s easy to learn, but mastering it is very hard. For some, the hard part is challenging; for others, a dreaded thought. However, the nature of the game doesn’t see who likes what about it. Similarly, the player should only focus on winning the money on the table. Like they say, recite the words “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner” in your mind, all the time. All that’s nice, but it’s not really going to help, especially if you want to make it to the WSOP someday, unless you have some knowledge about Poker. Knowledge, in the form of ideas and strategies that you can immediately use, is what you need to know.

Get The Best Position.

This is perhaps the most basic of poker strategies out there, so basic that it’s not really considered to be a strategy either; but it sure works out strategically for you. Now, remember that being part of the EP (Early Position) seats is perhaps the worst position to have; but in case you’re part of it, playing your best cards is often a good idea. Alternatively, you can try the bluffing strategy in the EP. If you’re part of the MP (Middle Position) seats, you’re one step ahead of the EP guys. Just be cautious. One of the LP (Late Position) seats is what you should ideally be sitting on. It allows you to have see how the hand is going, and decide if you want to call, bet, raise or fold.

Avoid the Tilt.

The game might not be working to your favor, at times. Getting emotional or ‘tilted’ is likely to occur, but you have to avoid it. Otherwise, the bad situation is only going to get worse. Adrenaline will rush all through your bloodstream, but the sad part with adrenaline is it halts your thinking abilities. Instead, keep in mind that poker is a game that involves mathematics. If you play it smart (and not emotionally), you’re half way there. This is one thing that every Poker pro has mastered.

Fold it on time, every time.

That doesn’t mean that folding is your gateway to poker riches, as you might already know. However, when times are bad, folding your game is the ideal thing to do. Keep pride and ego at bay. Let’s consider this: You place a raise and called by a rock, plus the flop shows up A-7-2. Like it isn’t worse already, you go on to bet into the pot. Your opponent raises… You’re dead if you don’t fold right away. Folding is not a winning strategy, but with this exit strategy, you’ll save enough money to win another game later.

Keep tabs on and make your notes.

Perhaps the most important thing to practice while playing your game is to know what the other players are up to and make your notes. It’s free, just needs you to be attentive. However, since you need to be looking at the table’s game all the time, concoct your own abbreviations to make notes. It might as well work like your own Morse code.
