Texas hold’em – Introduction

This poker guide doesn’t promise you miracles like ”make thousands of dollars every month”. Such things can never be promised in the game of poker, but one thing can be said for sure: the player that accomplishes the following three criteria’s will be a winning poker player:

1. Knowledge
2. Continuity
3. Self control

It’s actually that simple, but on the same time very hard to fulfil. Knowledge is information about strategies and odds plus experience. Continuity is to play after a plan more than play in a restless manner; this subject belongs mostly in the field of money management. Self control finally is just about what the word tells: never lose control when the cards turn against you. How to manage self control will be explained in the section about psychology.

What the tips in this poker guide cannot do is give you experience at the table. Neither can it give you any guarantees that you will be able to keep sufficient continuity or be able to practise self control all the time.
