Poker Strategy - Keep It Simple
By Dalvin
Rumsey
When you start to play poker, you
will more than likely be playing
lower limit games. To beat these
games does not require you to become
a masterful
poker
player, it primarily entails that
you are able to outplay poor
opponents. To beat good players at
higher limits can be incredibly
difficult, entailing many complex
moves. However, winning at low
limits is pretty straightforward.
What do I mean? Basically, other
players won't be paying attention to
you. They only care about their own
cards; they don't care about you or
your cards. They will play their
hand as they always play their hand,
regardless of whether or not you are
in the pot. You are basically a
ghost to them...but hopefully you
will be a ghost that's slowly taking
their money! If you want to beat
these types of players, you simply
need to a play a straightforward
game that will win in the long run.
For example, play tight, don't
do
any fancy bluffs, bet aggressively
when you probably have the best
hand, and utilize pot odds for your
drawing decisions.
When it comes to deception with
these players, slowplaying can work.
These players are easily fooled into
thinking they have the best hand
when they hit a pair on the turn, so
giving them a free card when you
hold the stone nuts can be to your
advantage. However, bluffing is
simply an exercise in futility.
These guys want to see if they have
the best hand. They'll pay to see
your cards just so they can see them
sometimes! Don't expect to scare any
fish at lower limits with an extra
$2 bet.
Master the art of choosing starting
hands, employing pot odds, and
aggressively betting your winning
hands. However, psychological
strategies are generally useless.
Your opponents are not thinking too
deeply, and attempting any fancy
plays will only hurt you.
