Poker is a game of chance. Your winning the game depends very heavily on the hand you have, but there is a certain amount of strategy that you can incorporate into your game that can, help you overcome that hand when used correctly. The following are five tips that will help you when playing Low-Limit poker.
Low-Limit poker is used when playing primarily for lower stakes, as the betting limit is fixed lower than other types of Limit poker. The tips that follow are used primarily for online poker, but can be used when playing a live game as well.
In Low-Limit poker the strategy is much different from that of the higher stakes games seen on television or played in the casinos because the game is played differently, you must incorporate a different strategy when playing.
First, find a way to pay close attention. Stay alert at all times so that you are fully aware of what your opponents are doing, as well as yourself. Because you are playing a Low-Limit game, the players will not play like they would if the stakes were higher, since there isn't nearly as much at stake, but it is still crucial to know what is going on.
Next, manage your Low-Limit Table Bankroll. Know how much you want to walk away with, and when you have lost to that amount, leave the game. This will keep you from continually betting and possibly losing even more money than you started out with in the first place.
Next, use Sit-N-Go's to get your No-Limit fix. If you like playing Low-Limit poker, play at the Sit-N-Go's instead of the lower stakes NL cash tables. Sit-N-Go's are there to get No-Limit enjoyment, and the loss is limited to the buy-in.
Next tip, maintain discipline. Find another table if you feel you are unable or do not want to continue playing at the one you are on. Discipline is the key to not losing too much money, and developing it early will help you even when playing larger stakes games.
Last, build your stack playing Low-Limit. If the action seems to slow for you at ten person tables, move to six handed ones. There is more action there and here you can continue to play disciplined, aggressive poker.
Online poker is a good way to practice your Low-Limit strategies. Here you do not have to play for money, and will have an opportunity to improve your game and learn more about strategy and technique. Once you have developed your strategy and are more comfortable with your game, you might try moving to a casino where the game is live. You may even decide to move to larger stakes games.

How To Spot Poker Tells
Though poker is a game of chance, and your game is as good as your hand, there are ways to get the most out of your hand even with a bad hand. Though this hand won't likely win the game, it will help you become a better player.
Learning your opponent's habits is also very important to your game. Often times, players have certain expressions and gestures they use, usually without noticing them, that occur when certain things happen. For instance, someone who is bluffing may bring their hand to their face every time they do this. After a while, people learn to recognize this gesture and know it signifies the player is bluffing. These types of expressions and gestures are known as poker tells.
By definition, a poker tell is any habit, behavior, or physical reaction that gives other players more information about your hand. The more you play with the same opponents, the more you will come to recognize such occurrences.
Listed here are tips that can help you spot poker tells. Remember that in poker there are many contradictions and exceptions. Also, experienced players often give false tells in order to fool other players.
Watch the eyes. Many experienced players wear caps or sunglasses while playing because they know that the eyes rarely lie. For example, many players can't help but stare at big hole cards, so they peek for a longer period of time.
Facial expression. Here too, many experienced players try to disguise their facial expression by wearing a cap or looking down so as to avoid the classic stare down that poker pros are famous for like when trying to study a person's face to try and detect nervousness detecting a weak hand, repetitive body characteristics like a body "tic".
Weak is Strong/Strong is Weak. In its simplest form, this usually applies to novice players but can frequently apply to pros as well. Most players like to act, and when they have a great hand, they will often appear disinterested thereby, sometimes tricking their opponents. Adversely, a player who raises the level of his or her voice while raising the level of the pot, trying to look intimidating, may actually be bluffing.
Anxiety. Anxiety typically occurs when a player is either confronted or facing confrontation. Psychologists often call this the "Fight or Flight" response. This is believed to link back to cave man days where physical changes happened such as muscle flexing, dilation of the pupils of the eyes, heart palpitations, ETC. In poker, a player with a big hand is often ready for confrontation and may exhibit any or all of these characteristics. You may notice the player's chest expanding abnormally, or his or her voice become higher than usual.
While these are just a few of the poker tells you may notice in your opponents, they are of the most common to occur. Being able to spot them is important and essential to your being able to bluff, and may even help you avoid such tells yourself.

Short Money Poker Play
Every time a poker player sits down to play the cash game, whether it is in a Las Vegas casino, at home, or at an online poker room, a decision must be made on how much money or chips they want to bring to the table. Most card rooms will have a minimum buy-in amount, and certain games might have a maximum. When players decide to purchase the minimum, or only a small amount of chips (nicknamed 'short money'), it is considered to be an indication of weakness and a 'tell' on the players ability or recent fortune.
Players that start the game with a short chip stack are often considered by the others to be scared of losing, and consequently must play cards with a poor poker strategy. It has been obersved that players not expecting to win often use a short-buy to limit their losses on playing mistakes, while good players maximize their potential wins by having a big stack at the table. The 'short money' image of weakness holds true much more at no-limit games over other forms of poker.
Strategically, aggressive betting, semi-bluffing and blind stealing is usually considered correct strategy at no-limit games, and short stacks simply don't have the amunition to make those bigger bets needed. Big stacks can make the occasional bluff with the confidence of staying in action if it goes wrong, and can use their calling ability to deter small stacks from risking a bluff against them. Using a big pile of chips as a psychological tool to induce or prevents bets from weaker opponents can be a very successfull strategy when done properly, and good players will immediately recognize anyone not able to do the same as a potential target.
Your own mind-set should be considered when purchasing chips at a table as well. For example, a player that buys-in for $20, loses it, re-buys for $20, loses again and put another $20 on the table, will likely be in a much worse position mentally then a player that simply started with $140 and now has $100 on the table. These sense of losing multiple times will put players on tilt and make them lose focus much more than being down on chips 'temporarily'.
Occasionally short money players are actually good players that are broke for reasons outside of the game, and other times a small stack that is seen may not have necessarily started that way earlier in the day. Although these incidents aren't an indication of the players' ability, it may at least be a tell on their current state of mind. A player facing problems away from the game never seems to play their best poker and players on a bad run, no matter how good they can be, often go on tilt and play differently or poorly when loosing.
The 'short money' tell is one of the few behavioural tells that seems to hold true online as well as in real life, however it seems to have more accuracy in actual brick and mortar casinos. Winning players should be looking to exploit any players presenting this remarkably reliable tell, mostly by raising and betting aggressively against these small stacks. It is important to avoid this situation yourself by consistently sitting down with one of the larger stacks at the table and remaining adequately funded for any poker game you play.

Poker Strategy - Secret To Success

As you read on, this can be the chance for you to learn about strategic tips and helpful hints researched from various wagering sites. Be the mastermind behind a cleverly won game.
Opportunities of Internet access to online poker games are available. When you get the poker itch, you no longer have to jump in the car and head to the nearest gambling room. Card games with friends can be reserved for on-line battles with people you don't know. Your friendships can now stay honest. Even better, gone are smoke filled rooms, drunk buddies that pass out on the couch, and you have a way to keep snacks for yourself. Just plop yourself in front of your computer, turn it on, and let the games begin. In order to start, you'll of course need internet access. Type in "online poker" and pick out a site. Research the site, register with the site, and you are now ready for action. Now is your chance to enjoy online poker - even in your underwear!
Just a quick overview: Poker is a game that requires a standard deck of cards. Cards consist of four suits: diamonds, spades, clubs, and hearts. Cards are ranked from high to low. Combination hand ranks determine who has the winning hand. The internet is a useful tool that can be used to research which hand ranks are the best. Memorize the best hand ranks and learn to recover from hands dealt that don't seem to have a chance. The ultimate goal is to win the pot. At the click of the mouse, the help button can be your best friend when you need specifics on rules for any games that are offered.
Strategy tips from Toby Bochan's Guide to Poker combined with helpful hints researched from various wagering sites will be discussed. These tips can help you form your own strategy for success. They are as follows:
1. Follow the old saying "choose your battles wisely". The more hands you play does not mean you will make more money.
2. In any site, help guides should be available to discuss rules. Types of games offered and how to play them should be available. Pick the right game for your skill level and bankroll. As a serious online poker player, games require you to put in real money. The key here is: Don't get in over your head! Remember you are playing with opponents coming from various skill levels. Don't be the little fishy in a shark's tank.
3. Bluffing is a common strategic move used in poker. Many do not know how to bluff. Don't be one of those people. Bluffing is a form of intimidation. By wagering a large amount of money, you attempt to convince opponents into folding. When you are wagering a large sum of cash you are trying to show that you hold the superior hand - even if you don't. When you are in a card room facing live people, you can judge a bluff by observing body movements and noises. After playing the game a few times you can pick up the habits of the players in front of you. In an online card-room, such observations are impossible and your judgment is impaired. Long story short: Unless you can guarantee 100% your bluff is going to work, it is better not to bluff than to bluff.
4. Online card rooms do not allow you to face other players but you can see what cards are being dealt. Pay close attention. Learn to pick out golden opportunities like flush and straight opportunities. This is where the research of combinations of hand ranks comes in.
5. Since you physically can't move your cards, be aware of the button options your PC screen gives you to make the moves necessary to play the game effectively. Study your screen carefully. Don't make hasty moves. Use the time allotted to you wisely. If you strike the wrong key, it can cost you the game.
6. It is not recommended to play poker under the influence of alcohol. Alcohol impairs the mind. Strategies can be harder to carry out. Online poker uses real money. Unless you are playing for low stakes, getting plastered and playing poker are three Ps that do not mix.
7. Like anything else in life, online software can come with its fair share of glitches. Internet connection delays can be detrimental when it happens in the middle of a game. When you are frozen out, your opponents are not. By the time you are back on track the game is over. Your chance of winning that game is gone. Most time the glitches are a factor of PC viruses. Make sure to protect yourself with anti-virus programs and anti-spy ware.
8. Online poker is designed for you, the player, to compete for money and have fun. Any strategy that you choose can be accommodated to your skill level. No matter what strategy you choose, play a fair game. Cheating is a bad habit and a sign of a sore loser.
Overall, as long as you have Poker basics and some strategic ideas under your belt, you have the chance to make any game a fun and entertaining experience. You stand to lose or win some money, so use common sense and go into a game with a strategic frame of mind. You have help guides, the beauty of internet search engines and rules to help you find the right game to suit you. Just use that mouse! Last but not least, if you do decide to play your fave online game of poker in your underwear, remember to close the curtains.

Poker Psychology And The Trap
Everyone who plays poker has heard of "having a poker face" or being trapped. Having a poker face is more than just the look on your face, it's all of your body language and actions combined.
A good poker player is an observant poker player. You have to learn to associate your opponents facial expressions, body language, speech, and even the bet amounts with what they eventually are revealed to have been holding in their hand.
Facial Expressions: With online poker, you of course cannot use this. But in a real poker game you can. Start with the eyes. When they call or raise a hand, do they look down, to the right, to the left, at an object in the room? Then what did they have when they did that?
Do they smile? Grind their teeth? Immediately take a sip of their drink after or before the bet? Look for these things each time they call or raise.
Body Language: Do they play with their poker chips under certain circumstances? Lean back or forward? Look for things they do with their body and then what kind of hand they had each time they do that action.
Betting Amounts: Some poker players don't realize they have a pattern at all or they figure no one will figure out the "code" they use for themselves. Watch how much they bet, then what type of hand they had and see if you can associate a particular hand strength with a specific range of bet or even a specific raise amount.
If you find a pattern where your opponent always does a specific action in relation to having a good hand or bluffing, you have their number and can beat them at poker easily . . . or can you?
The Trap: You can establish a pattern that will be picked up by the other players. Let it cause you to lose a little money here and there. Let your poker opponents think they have your number by doing specific actions associated with different hand strengths.
Don't let it cost you too much money and watch for the signs they are taking the bait and are using your patterns to beat you.
Then you can spring the trap. Wait until you get a really good hand, a sure winner and do the actions you had been doing when bluffing or when you had a lower strength hand.
Your poker opponents will think they have you and bet the limit. You'll win what you lost and a lot more.
Playing poker is a lot more than just knowing how to bet the cards in your hand. There is a lot of psychology involved, mind games, if you really want to play with the best.

Learn What Poker Odds Actually Are
What are odds: Odds are a ratio of events to non-events. If the event rate for a disease is 0.1 (10 per cent), its nonevent rate is 0.9 and therefore its odds are 1:9, or 0.111. Note that this is not the same expression as the inverse of event rate.
Poker can be a lot of fun. Please always play with the intention of having fun and leave the heavy gambling to the pros. Many lives have been destroyed because of addiction to gambling.
