Party Poker Strategy


By far the best way these days to learn how to play poker hands is to play the free games at an online cardroom -- or even just to sit and watch others play. It's very simple to do, you download the software, sign up (doesn't cost anything unless you eventually decide to play for real money) then click one of the active tables and watch how the game moves and poker hands are played. If you want to play, just click an open seat and start playing.

Poker is a card game in which players bet into a communal pot during the course of a hand, and in which the player holding the best hand at the end of the betting wins the pot. During a given betting round, each remaining player in turn may take one of four actions:

  1. check: a bet of zero that does not forfeit interest in the pot

  2. bet or raise: a nonzero bet greater than preceding bets that all successive players must match or exceed or else forfeit all interest in the pot

  3. call: a nonzero bet equal to a preceding bet that maintains a player's interest in the pot

  4. fold: a surrender of interest in the pot in response to another player's bet, accompanied by the loss of one's cards and previous bets
Betting usually proceeds in a circle until each player has either called all bets or folded. Different poker games have various numbers of betting rounds interspersed with the receipt or replacement of cards.

The first thing to understand is that online poker is not the same as regular ‘casino poker’. They are different in fundamental ways. Many of the abilities needed to win in casino poker of course also exist in online poker. You still need good starting cards and you still shouldn't play at a level you can’t afford.

Joining an online poker site is simple. You use an online payment service or give them your credit card to buy chips. You can play free games without giving any credit card information. You should play the free games for a while to get the hang of how the game plays, what buttons to click, what happens when you click a button that you aren't sure what it does. The free games have almost no value in learning to play to win though. They are excellent for a novice, offering a way to practice calculating basic odds and discovering the relative strengths of hands. However, even playing the .50/$1 games will provide more valuable learning opportunities than the free games.

Give thought to your login name. Some people want to be distinctive, memorable. Some want to be as anonymous as possible. Your login name is the first image you present to the other players. Choose one that fits with the personality you want to convey to your opponents.

In a real casino you can walk around the room, briefly look at all the games and limits being played, and study what type of game each one is. The online casino offers a wealth of information just by clicking buttons: average pot size, number of players seeing the flop, how many hands played per hour, names of the players in each game, who is on the waiting list, and how many games of a particular limit are underway.

Players can choose between a dozen or more games at the limit of their choice and table selection is a critical part of casino poker, and is even more important online. There is a wealth of information available for players to be constantly aware of where the good games are, thus helping player to win.

If you are a winning player, a smooth, prompt game is almost always in your favour. The more hands you are dealt in, the more money you make. So be sure to check the "muck losing hands" and "auto-post blinds" buttons. Also, if you do leave your computer, check the "sit out next hand" button rather than getting dealt in and letting yourself "time out" when it comes to you to act. While it’s rude to make people wait for you when you are not even in the room, you also shouldn’t slow down a game in any case because a slower game is generally a less profitable game.

The in-turn buttons lead to the most obvious tell unique to online poker. If the blinking light representing a player acts immediately, it’s likely this person has clicked the box of an in-turn action. It is usually easy to determine when a player has a no-brainer hand. The immediate "check" is often incredibly revealing. If you are first to act, and for some reason take a moment before checking, and your three opponents immediately check behind you, chances are they don’t have anything.

Another common situation... the first player takes a moment, then finally checks. You have the "bet/raise in turn" button checked, so your bet appears, but instantly the player next to you raises. Uh-oh, he had the bet/raise button checked too, and didn’t care what you or the first player did. That tells a lot more than a just normal raise would -- an awful lot more.

Besides the speed of action resulting from using the buttons, other online tells can be discerned from how slow a player commonly acts on their hand. Players who are consistently super-slow are likely not paying attention to the game, either because they are playing two games and are not competent at it, or because they are doing other work at home. Either way, if all of a sudden this person plays a hand crisply and promptly and aggressively chances are their holding a Monster.
