Enjoying a Great
Poker Life
|
What is the poker
lifestyle? There are
some people who have
dedicated their lives
to the game of
poker
and are reaping the
benefits of it. The
money, the fame, the
cars.... the women.
How do they do this?
I can tell you the
first step in any
poker player's life,
no matter how far they
go with it is getting
a feel for the game. A
great place to do this
is by playing some
online poker. You
don't need to coax
your friends of
dubious commitment and
talent out of their
man caves once a week
to get drunk and shoot
the breeze, you need
some competition on a
fairly regular basis
and online poker is
great for this.
Every online poker
company has a free
section. You don't
need to deposit even a
dime and you can get
down on some poker
action.
Free poker
online means you will
get a stipend of
imaginary chips that
you can wheel and
deal. Don't worry, if
you go broke one quick
click will refill your
bankroll, however if
you really want to
learn how to play
well, committing
yourself to the idea
that this money is
"real" will help you
significantly. This
will cause you to play
smarter and critically
think through your
next move rather than
just saying "oh the
heck with it" and
going all in on a
whim.
Once you have your
massive bankroll of
play chips I would
then recommend using
them to get used to
some tournament style
poker.
Poker tournaments
are the main mode in
which the poker
lifestyle revolves.
For a small buy in you
can increase your
money exponentially by
clawing your way to
the top of the
tourney. Try playing
small tournaments
until you feel
comfortable. Remember
the bigger the
tournament the more
luck there is
involved, for instance
look at the world
series of poker, the
best players don't
always make it to the
top.
If you find yourself
on a winning streak,
it might be time to
invest some money.
Remember never put in
more than you can
afford to lose, and
take care of your
bankroll. Always avoid
putting up more than a
tenth of your bankroll
at any one time. This
will mean you will
have to build up with
slow and consistent
play, but will keep
you from losing
everything on one bad
break.
If you follow these
steps you can start
earning enough money
to do nothing else but
play poker.
Voila, the poker
lifestyle. |

| Texas Holdem poker is a widely accepted poker game amongst poker enthusiasts in casinos and poker card rooms across Europe and North America. This is more of a community card game in which dealer deals some of the cards in a face up position right at the table’s centre and all players have to share those cards. In Texas Holdem Poker, every player can use whatever kind of five-community cards combination. More over every player can own, unlike other poker games, two hole cards for making one poker hand. The person who gets the card deal last is the dealer when game starts. When one hand ends, the dealer status moves to the player in hand in clockwise fashion. |
