In spite of the rule that you can explain poker rules to everyone in a few minutes, learning of the game lasts whole life. Thanks to a couple of simple rules you can decrease the pain of the first defeats up to minimum.

Please read about the beginners' common mistakes And if you will get interested in poker you will go back to this text in a few months time- you will admit how true it is!

Playing with too many hands.

Many beginnrs sits up the table and.... want to play immediately. There is nothing weird in it but Texas Hold it is a game whch demands lots of patience. Of course, every two cards can be the right ones to win the game but some of the systems have definitely more opportunities than the others. Do not worry if we dropped 7-2, and the flop is 2-2-2. The only thing it counts is the decision.

Cards like 9-4, K-3, 8-2 or A-4 mean 'death', do not bother about them. The truth is, you can lose a lot and win a little. We will be in trouble using them too many times, we will get a pair we can play till the end and then our opponent had his ace with king and we only with 6. Playing with any two cards is very profitable, if we had beverending budget and were lokking for emotions not victories. If you want to keep winning try to play with orders very carefully and do not lose all your money for looking at the flop from 10-4.

Playing too high stakes

You start your adventure with poker sit up the tableand get 2 aces. If you bid high your opponent will bid you. You play all-inand your opponent checks you. He has got kings but on the riviera he is lucky enough to win and you are loosing all your buy-in.You are checking your pocket and there's nothing left there! It means you sat by the table with all your money to spend on the game.

And what now? You have to pay in more. Try to avoid all the situations like the above one by bankroll managing. If you have got only 100$ do not join the table 1$-2$. Start with 5-10 cents. If you win every time, you can go higher. It will let you avoid very unpleasant situation to lose all the bankroll. Every player experience win or lose sessions. Always try to make sure to have an opportunityto get into the game again, after unlucky hand.

Ignorance of systems.

In view of the Texas Hold uses common cards you will come acrossthe situation you have never done before playing five-cards matching poker. Who is the winner if there is QQQQ9 on the tableand ur opponent has got A2, and we have got KK? And what about the situation where we have 77, opponent 8-6 and the table JJ995? Are you sure that strit is stronger than 3, and A2345 is a strit as well. If you want to avoid unpleasant surprises you'd better find out about hierarchy of systems and peculiarity of Texas Hold.

Bounding the emotions.

Another unlucky lost hand, another defeat. What unexperienced player does then?Gets into the next hand with any cards, tampers to very weird systems. Checks big gameswith the fourth pair.... Why? It is called 'tilt' bounding by emotions after lost hand when the player wants to try to win as soon as possible and by any possible price against the logical thinking. This is followed by wrong decisions and huge mistakes which cause loss of all tokens in a tournament or money from the account. Lost hands are the part of the game, the very bad luck is calculated in the game. You have to be aware of it. Winning players in a long term of game are accepting temporary falures. The best players in the world are well known of loosing a few hands and then winning all the rest like no failure happened. It is worth to remember that the tilt player is the favourite opponent of all the poker players – nobody tops the banroll up like they do... If you lost in a really unlucky way do not worry. Walk off from the table/computer, go for a little walk, calm down or just miss a few hands. When you are calmer go back to the game.

Matching to the lost systems.

Most of the beginners are so into the game and an opportunity to match to their order and they do not pay any attention that someone else could have the older order to which we are just collecting cards.Let's try to avoid matching to strit, when there are four colour cards or matching colour, when there are two pairs on the table. It could happen that the opponents do not have any stronger orders but they are onlysporadic cases.

If there is the situation in which there is an older possible order, let's leave the further accumulation, let's wait for the better opportunity.

Not the best idea is also matching to 'sucker end' strit, the strit from the bottom. It is called 'sucker end' not incidently, because in this case / e.g. table 9-8-7, we have got A-5 and add to thetable hoping for '6'/. Our dream strit will lose the higher one. I conclusion, if we accumulate let's do it only to the orders which should be the best in that moment.
