Mistakes novice Texas Hold'em players should try avoiding.
1. Call
That’s correct. Calling in the game of poker could be a weird mistake for the majority of the unexperienced Texas Hold’em gamblers. Calling is a normal thing but most of the beginner gamblers do it with the wrong target. Most often they call because they are afraid as they just don’t know what cards the player who put the initial bet got. If you feel afraid in situations like that or if you are not convinced you have good chances then better fold or just don’t play poker at all. Calling is generally a not very helpful approach. The most often actions you will want to take is to either raise or to bet. Calling is generally used as a strategic approach in the cases when you aim to save money, but not to call with the single thought that you may make a stronger hand if some given cards happen to be drawed later. I.e. if you got a powerful hand and you are convinced you have great winning chances then you either bet or raise. Here are a few good reasons why you should bet: – In the cases when you are trying to bluff so you can mislead the others. – In the cases when you want to make sure there will be at least a couple more players that will eventually call or raise after you. Don’t get used to call. Just play aggressively and attack the others all the time. That is the usually how the money gets earned in Tehas Hold’em.
2. Go for high wagers in the early stages of the play.
To play Poker with higher stakes can be very enjoyable and you can be able to feel the tension. To get the pot in Poker with $5 or $10 bets is very palpitating in case you haven’t played with that big money before that. To move to the higher stages of betting can be pretty tempting but may also happen to be a very bad mistake in the same time. In case you rush in the game too fast then the chances for you lose your money is quite big as Texas Hold’em is generally a game of abilities and takes time to be learnt. Playing a small limit Texas Hold’em poker can be quite tedious but if you realize it is hard for you to win even there then you just don’t go to the higher level! I can assure you that if you can’t win in a low limit Texas Hold’em then it will be really hard for you to win in a game with high or no limits. Once you step on a $5/$10 table you will find yourself among a selected group of advanced gamblers who have skills and aren’t playing just for fun. So my advice is that you should gradually move from tables with low blinds to tables with higher ones. You don’t have to rush too much. Take your time and learn what you need. You will later have time to go to tables with higher blinds when you will have higher winning chances and feel the beauty of this beautiful game.
3. Bluffing
Bluffing is a method in Texas hold’em poker which the gamblers use to confuse their opposer. The aim is of course to earn money but there is a problem with this tactics in low limit games. There is no need to try to confuse your opponents as most of them are inexpert poker players and bluffing just doesn’t work well. Of course there might be some cases when bluffing can be an adequate approach but you will want to mostly play aggressively and forget about bluffing for now. Just place aggressive bets in the cases you realize you have potentially strong hands and high chances. Bluffing is a good technique but mostly for higher limit games. As more professional the tables become so more necessary bluffing becomes. So begin on low limit tables and leave bluffing for later!
Perfect Card Counting Every Time
It’s time to cut to the chase. Almost every post on blackjack forums, almost every article and most experts agree that card counting devices are useless.
There has also been a lot written about how they are also illegal.
To a certain extent I agree on both counts, but there are exceptions that should be noted.
It is a fact that most card counting devices are inferior to counting. I could go down the line and critique each one but suffice it to say that most of them have serious flaws. Some can’t be used in any casino because they cannot be hidden, one is sold by a convicted internet scam artist, most do not have the capability to give the true count, at least one is a throwback to the 1970’s and takes as long to master as card counting itself, some have issues with wiring and buttons. Most of them are completely overpriced.
As far as the illegality issue, electronic devices used to gain an advantage in casino games are illegal in nine states. Those states are Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey and Nevada. These 9 states account for approximately 45% of all casinos in the USA. The remainder of the states have NO laws against electronic devices.
There are also casinos on hundreds of cruise ships where there are no laws regarding electronic devices. Canada has 123 casinos and no laws against electronic devices.
Consider the rest of the world which has over 3300 casinos, most with no laws barring electronic devices and it begins to come into focus that perhaps there is a place in card counting for an electronic device if it performs correctly. After all, most Forum posts, articles and expert commentary out of hand dismiss ALL counting devices and lump them all together, when the only fact is that they are all different. The other issue is the legality of these devices.
The common thread is that they are illegal and don’t work. A question comes to mind in this regard. If they don’t work why are they illegal? Certainly some don’t work or work only as well as card counting, so why are they illegal? You would think the casinos would welcome anything that didn’t work, wouldn’t you?
Most of the negative comments and articles concern legality, but there are card counting purists that take the stand that says why use a counting device when you get the same results by counting cards. These people have already spent innumerable hours honing their counting skills and may be a little jealous of anyone that can perform at their same level or higher without all of the work.
The fact is that a card counting device is easier to use than merely counting cards. It can be more accurate, thereby making it more efficient than counting. It virtually eliminates mistakes. Also there is less fatigue which leads to fewer mistakes.
The perfect counting device should be easy to use, undetectable, capable of converting the running count to the true count, small enough to hide and it must be sturdy. May I add, it should be priced fairly.
I have developed the perfect card counting device, you were wondering where this article was going, one that conforms to all of the above criteria and then some. I call my invention The Wiz. Simply put it is the worlds most powerful and easy to use card counting computer.
Without going into the details in this article, it works better than card counting, almost DOUBLING your winning percentage, no matter what count you use.
