Poker Strategy: "I'm a Poker Pro Making Over $50,000 Monthly"

19 March 2006

(PRWEB) March 14, 2006 -- Poker has became a huge phenomenon in North America and we have seem news about average folks making a live from just playing some cards. Not only professionals players are getting attention these days at the poker tables on Las Vegas tournaments like WTP (World Poker Tour) and WSOP (World Series of Poker) but the question is: Can you become the next online poker winner to make the headlines?

Most people are just curious folks giving a try on some poker rooms and a small percentage are players taking advantage to make a few extra bucks. Just a very small part of them are "professionals" making the real money.

Whether playing online gives some confidence to the newbies in another hand is a land to poker predators to clean up the opponents.

So, You leave the tables to the professionals? Maybe, it depends what are your goals. There are so many levels of skilled poker players and understand them is one of the keys of the success and a secret to leave any poker table like a winner (and more rich, too.)

First, You should search for some poker rooms with great incentives on your first deposit. You can find over $10,000 in free money in bonus at major online poker rooms. The intention here is to get some time playing for real money while You get comfortable with the software and get used to play. At the end, if You lose money a big part of it will be a bonus.

Here a small list of incentives from some online poker rooms:

Now, after You choose your favorite poker room and incentives it's time to play and discover where your skills are. Let's see some kind of online players that we can find at the major poker sites:

> Newbie: The easiest prey. They are average folks who play just to get some fun, have a limited poker skill, don't like to risk in big pots and love to chat. Even when they are losing badly they look happy when they take a small pot.

> Low Player: These players are more skilled and have a patience to wait for better cards. They aren't aggressive players but this kind likes to risk a bit more. Usually they have played on the site for a while. Most of them are just folks spending some time and the most important for them is to stay longer on the table.

> The Rabbit: This is a special kind of player. He/She goes to the tables and they start to put all-in, all the time. Even if They have no good cards. The intention here is to put pressure on the other players and make a quick buck. Their strategy is simple: They came from another table with big bets where they lost. So, they get the last bucks and go to the lower ones where they know there are so many newbies and from there to try to recover their money and after to go back to high stakes. This one can make a few hundreds a day or lose everything in just minutes.

> The Medium Player: Here starts the danger. Skilled player, patience is a must, win is the goal. He/She knows more about the game, players and strategies but they make many mistakes. The strategy here to defeat this player is to teach him/her You are a quiet menace. When You get some good cards raise the pot drastically and wait. They usually will fold or buy You just to see what You have and once They have "learned" about You keep your game in a conservative way and bluff once a while. They will fold right way than risk anything. If You get a AA, KK, AK, or anything good do the first step. Don't mind if You lose, the important is show them every time You go for it You got the cards.

> High Skilled: It's really difficult to write about this one. They know not only about the game but the poker room: Where they can find the best tables with no many skilled players like Him/Her; They keep records of players and select them by levels, they have a lot of money to spend; they play all over the site to find the best pots and win is a must. At this level any player is winning a lot or losing badly. This kind of player wants and will make money from others like newbies, low players and "rabbits". To defeat this one You have to impress them with a huge amount of money (even if You not play it all) in chips and play your best cards. This way You can pretend to be another high skilled and They will respect when you do a bluff. Don't show You are a weak player and if you feel your cards aren't enough, just fold. The winnings at this level are a nice four figures a month for a successful player.

> The "Pros": It's all said here. They live from poker. High skilled players, they monetize playing at many tables at the same time, usually four, for up to fourteen hours a day! They are always playing at the tournaments, free rolls with a big prize and sometimes at the high roller tables. Most play in many different poker rooms to test the level of the players and they stick on the easiest one. Most pros are making over $10,000 monthly! The advantage here is: they got the money to buy-in most tournaments and maximize their potential of earnings.

> High Rollers: Ok, this where the rich are. Not necessarily high skilled players. It's easy to see pots of $2,000 to $5,000. The Pros avoid those tables because they can earn less from another tables but they lose less also. There are a mix of medium and high skilled players here but with deep pockets. Some folks after win a nice amount go there to play a few hands and that can make a huge difference, for good or bad. A successful player here can bring home over a $50,000 monthly!

Those all above are the most common but still doesn't mean we found all them and knowing the general types of players helps to understand their tactics, behavior, strategies and goals.

When you go to any poker room it's easy to find out which player belongs to what category. So, You have two advantages from the begging:

- You got more free money. So, if eventually you lose $100 only 25% or at most 50% were yours;

- Knowing about your opponents helps your strategy. You can use one tactic to each player in the table.

Now, to become a successful online poker player is important to know which level You are. Remember also that many of high skilled started losing at first. So, take advantage of the incentives and promotions, read more about strategy and put a limit on your budget.

When playing at different poker rooms keep in the mind that most of them uses many kinds of poker software, and the results will be totally opposite in the end. E.g.: A Full House at Party Poker is for sure a winning hand but at Ultimate Poker You need be more careful because they are there all the time.

The real secret is to start slow in the games, to spend more time at the tables, understand how the software works ( the odds) and slowly to move to the next level.

After some experience playing online it's time to try the tournaments with small buy-ins ($1.00 to $15.00).

Never try to rush or maximize your winnings if You can't afford to lose your chips.

To be a real winner, everything starts at your mind, not at the table. So, why not make the title your "mantra"?
