How to Avoid Losing Money at Poker
August 6th, 2010How to Avoid Losing Money at Poker Winning money at poker online is hard to do. Losing money at online poker is very easy and most players find themselves in that position. No matter how good a player you think you are, there are few basic things to keep in mind to minimize your losses and avoid bankroll downturns when playing at Everest Poker FR. Follow these guidelines for holding onto you money: 1. Never play with money you can’t afford to lose. Poker does involve luck and every player runs good and bad at times. Don’t risk your rent money on the flip of a card. 2. Choose the right games to play. If you’re the 10th best player in the world going up against the best nine, you will lose. Find games that you can consistently win and stick to them, be they high stakes, low stakes, limit or no-limit, online or face to face live action. 3. Never play poker when your head is not in the right place. If you’re angry, tired, frustrated or distracted, you are not going to play your best game. Pay attention — you have to be able to focus on the table and the players, and leave your other worries and concerns at the door. 4. Wait for good hands. Poker is a game of people and psychology but it is good hands that win most often. Be patient and maximize opportunities with good hands. 5. Stop bluffing a lot. This tactic should only be used occasionally and selectively with good justification, i.e. the players, your position and the board are all lined up in your favor to execute a bluff.
