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:
- check: a bet of zero that does not forfeit interest
in the pot
- 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
- call: a nonzero bet equal to a preceding bet that
maintains a player's interest in the pot
- 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.
