Texas Hold’em is one of the most popular poker games around the world right now and it is also the most complex. These tips will help novice players but also some who’ve been playing the game a while. In today’s post, the advice will concentrate on minimizing your losses so your gambling dollars go further without breaking the bank.
You hear people say that they might as well play a hand out since they already have money in the pot – don’t be one of those people. That money is already gone, guys. Don’t chase a pot that you don’t have a prayer to win as that’s a sure way to throw good money after bad.
If you’re thinking about how much money you might lose whenever you decide what to bet, then the game is too rich for your blood. Don’t play with the high rollers if you don’t have the budget for it. That’s just asking for trouble. Know your spending amount for the evening and play to stretch that money out until you’re ready to stop playing.
Don’t play so long that you become blind to what’s going on around you. It’s easy to lose track of time when you’re having fun but if you aren’t alert enough to know what’s going on, that’s a sure way to end up losing more than you win. Better to call it a night and play again another time when you’re fresh.
Finally, if a hand is bad from the get go, just fold it. Don’t stay in hoping to bluff your way to a pot when you have a loser. 9 times out of 10 you will lose and that’s really not good odds when you’re playing for money.
