The greatest Texas Holdem Tips

Stance, patience and control are the secrets to winning in Texas Holdem poker. If you are a keen player but struggle to win, then these Texas Holdem tips are for you.

Some winning tips

• Play a good starting hand:

You need to know and play good starting hands worthy enough to see a flop. Don’t hesitate to fold weak hands you will just waste your money if you don’t. If one weak hand wins the pot it’s rather an exception than the rule

• Avoid playing loose and tighten against loose players:

Even if your opponents play more hands, in the end, disciplined and tight players are always more successful than super-loose players. 

• Learn to quickly read the flop and make reasonable decisions:

Flop analysis is a very important aspect of the game, but sometimes you only have 10 seconds to decide whether to fold. Within those 10 seconds you must find the answers to two questions. Are there any cards to form a strong hand? And what are your odds of hitting a good hand during betting rounds?

• Remember Texas Holdem is not a luck game:

It is a highly intellectual game where on of the most important aspects is to bluff and evaluate your opponents.

• Always concentrate and be attentive:

Remember that you have a job and a family and that you need to dedicate specific hours to playing poker. Do not bet more than you can afford to loose and always keep your head in the game.

Tips from the pros

• Quickly and aggressively play high pairs and starting hands before the flop which will contribute more money into the early pot and force week hands to fold
• Do not play unrelated medium and low value cards. This concerns suited cards which cannot flop a straight
• Play low pairs cautiously and concerns any pairs from 66 down to 22 as they are only worthy in the late positions
• Know all the possible combinations in order to quickly determine what hands you can form using your pocket cards.
