In my experience with poker of all types, be it simple free poker online or more serious cash games, with its ups, and what seems to be its MANY downs, I have come to know that the most important thing you could ever learn is patience.

Even the blind mouse finds the cheese sometimes, and no matter how unlucky you think you are, how many chips you have, or how many people are left in your tournament, the most important thing is that you are patient with yourself.

Sometimes you get so tired of seeing terrible cards and your chip stack starts to drain enough to the point where you get desperate, and start calling with J5 off-suit, or other hands with the same idea. I can tell you I’ve been there many times, and it has been the death of me many more times than it has helped.

Another key in patience is not only pre-flop, but throughout the rest of the hand too. Let me show an example, You draw a K (c) Q (d), and you call with 2 other people in the hand. The flop comes out K (h) A (h) 8 (h). This is obviously a very dangerous hand, and many times I would just fold this off the bat. But to the desperate, sometimes I would get a false source off confidence in my hand, and 85% of this time I will get burned, despite only having two others in the hand.

Patience is one of the many obvious traits important to poker success. Some people get carried away sometimes, and it’s important to be consistent in your poker playing. Try to find a baseline on what you would call pre-flop and what you won’t.

Obviously free online poker is a much different game than live, as online is much more fast-paced and live is more in-depth and slower. Despite many complaints from my peers, I like to milk out every second of my time limit for each decision. I recommend this to any competitive and casual online poker players, because it may be the difference between a bad beat and a great fold.

Many times in online free poker play you will run into, what we call “Donks”. Most of the time they will have a much larger chip stack, and will win hands using brawn and bluffing. It’s important not give into his bullying, and play it slow. If you get a good flop, let him make the mistake. The classical check-raise works well, but if you move too early, your chance will be lost to cash in. “Donks” can be a great source of chips, if you be patient and play it out right.

We will all get bad beats, it’s unavoidable. It happens to the best of us, and there’s nothing we can do about it. What we can do, though, is play smart, take your time, and, again, be patient. These are all extremely important no matter who you are playing with or how long you have been playing the game, which brings me to my next point; You can read as many poker articles, magazines and books, but nothing can compare to experience, so just go out there and play poker online for free at first to build your skills and understanding of the game and develop that all important patience habit.

Bad beats as you will know if you play any form of poker be it free online poker or high stakes card room are the very deepest embodiment of “bad luck” known to poker humankind!

Physically, if your opponent has only a few cards to catch in the river in order to win a very large pot and one of them falls, you cannot recover the hefty stack of chips that passed from your hands to an undeserving adversary. You might even be knocked out of a tournament because of it. You cannot recover your physical seat in the poker table (unless it’s a rebuy tournament, and you rebuy).

Suppose, in the example above, your opponent has A-J and you have A-K, and the board is A-3-7-10. You have top Pair and the best kicker. Your opponent has top Pair with the second best kicker that he thinks it’s the best, and he moves all-in. At that point, moving all-in will cost you 90 percent of your stack.

You call with the hope that your opponent does not have A-10 or something, and he flashes A-J. You’re in a seat of roses now. He can catch a Six only with a 6.82% chance, and it’s the only way he wins. He catches it. Bam! Bad Beat! You are left with one-tenth of what you have before the hand started. Or you may even be the one knocked out.

Psychologically, how do you redeem yourself from such a cataclysm? It is easy. Ask yourself: Would you like your opponents to call with A-J in such a situation if you have an A-K? If you say ‘Yes’, then there’s really nothing to whine about.

You played your hand in the best way you could (you might have even read him with, like, an A-5 or A-4, and you’re close to your read) So you want him to call. He did. All your circumlocutory plays like acting weak, betting small for him to pounce, etc., are successful.

He did what you want to happen. If he calls, then you know that you’re a 93-7 favorite. Would you like to be on the 93 or on the 7? Ask yourself that question. You have not made a bad play after all. Your opponent made it.

You might be knocked out of the tournament after that hand, if you have lesser chips. But you have to be thankful that there is someone willing to put his chips in on even just a 90-10 proposition in which he has the 10. 90% of the time he does it, he will be knocked out. Your loss will fall only on the 10% side.

So you can redeem yourself by saying that you made a smart play, after all. In other words, that you play better poker than the one who messed you up. And this point made, in the future you can exploit many players who might be willing to make bad plays but who didn’t know that these plays are actually bad.

Sometimes to feel the ease of victory in which you are a 90-10 favorite, you should be ready to take the 10% hit sometimes.

But if you’re not knocked out, try to save yourself. Don’t waste your mental energy from fretting and cracking your head on how that card emerged. That card emerged, and nothing can change it, not even the wind. Just use all your mental resources to make a very good play next time, maybe a calculated all-in, and resurge from the deep.

And if you’re on the end of a stream of bad beats go play some free poker games online and get your confidence back before returning to the money tables.

Here are a few free poker games tips I would like to share with you, my style and how I get my streaks in winning in poker texas holdem whether money or free poker online or real cash tables.

My poker tips cover 2 areas:

• The Type of Players in Poker
• Your Position

1. Types of Players

The Call Stations – These players likes to see a flop doesn’t bet or raise he only calls or checks until the river that is why they are labeled as Call Station. You can extract money on this player but be careful not too bluff at this player because it won’t work. (A.K.A. Loose-Passive)

The Rock – These players does not want to get involve with more hands and thus this player only plays with strong or premium hands. His hands can be range as pair of 10s and up with face cards. This player can easily be bluff. This player’s favorite action is only fold or call if he has premium hands. If you’re bluff is called then respect him because he isn’t lying about it. (A.K.A. Tight-Passive)

The Maniacs – These players are the ones who bet and raise so much and loves to bluff that much too. They would even go all in pre-flop without hesitation. I know you seen these kinds of players. Only call these players if you have the best hand. Bluffs won’t work because they are the ones who are going to bluff you back. (A.K.A. Loose-Aggressive)

The Solid Player – These players can be sometimes be called the professional players. They know the game and got some few tricks under sleeves. They know when to fold when their beat and know when to go all in when they sense it’s a bluff. They don’t play for luck, they play to win. (A.K.A. Tight-Aggressive)

2. Position

Position is really the key to able to get the most of poker. If you don’t know your position then you are playing poker blindly. An KQ might look good to call but its really not that good if you are the one first to act and other players are waiting for your action.

Early Position – this position refers to the first player to act before the flop comes out. This position follows next to the blinds.

There 2 early position in a table of 10 players. In this position you are in a great disadvantage to other players due to lack of information in the table. It is best to be tight in this position and raise with best starting hands. Your hands should only range in AA, KK, QQ, AK and others fold. Why? Because you lack information to other players and calling so many hands would risk you getting all your chips into the pot. Always raise.

Middle Position – this position is next in line with the early position players. There are 3 middle position in a 10 player table. In this situation you already have some knowledge of players involve in the pot.

It is best to play at least semi loose but still be cautious for there are still other players waiting in line. Hands can be played in this position are 88 – AA and suited connector cards like 89 diamonds. Be sure to know when you are beat in the flop and fold your hand. Re-raise only if you think you have the best hand.

Late Position – this position is next in line with the middle position. Usually this position is the most advantageous position. Why? Because you already gained enough information on the table with other players. You can almost play any cards in this position if the pot hasn’t been raise.

Call with not suited or suited connectors, suited cards, small pairs like 22, 33, 44 and practically any card as long as you know your players and the action towards you. This is where most bluffs are likely to be successful.

For a great free poker lesson on playable cards and position see the D M Vadnais series, “Building Your Bankroll” also on NoPayPOKER, it’s brilliant.

Unsure how to apply these skills? Don’t lose money learning, practice and learn first on micro or free online poker sites such as…NoPayPOKER!

When playing poker, even free online poker, it is important, fundamental even, to know as much about your opponent as possible.

Playing free poker online, micro stake cash games and freerolls, tends to bunch players into one of four categories. The quicker you are able to establish which player type you are up against, the quicker you can adopt your tactics for that particular type.

Almost all players fall into one of the following four groups; The Rock, the maniac, the calling station or ATM which is a nickname I use as these guys are a licence to print money, and lastly The Pro. This article will concentrate on the rock.

A rock is by definition reliable, dependable, steady, secure, and stable. All these adjectives apply to the player known as the rock. They are very tight, even tighter out of position and have a very narrow selection of cards they will play, on average they will play less than 12% of hands.

These hands are obviously AA, KK, QQ, JJ and also include pretty much any combination of face/Broadway cards, low pocket pairs and sometimes suited connectors in position with a limp.

The rock is a very basic level 1 player who plays extremely honestly and will hardly ever bluff. A big bet from a rock almost always equals a big hand, the kind of hand they will be willing to shove with if pushed to. A rock will also seldom fight back against a three bet.

So, after you have been at the table long enough to mark someone as a rock (which shouldn’t take to long) you now have to play in a manner which will extract the most value from him or her. The main thing to always bear in mind when playing a rock is that you don’t have to take long on your decisions; these guys will tell you what hand they have themselves.

Let’s think about a rock away from the poker table.

If you wanted to remove a big rock from your garden for example what would be the best way? You wouldn’t try and pick the whole thing up in one go as you may hurt yourself, what you are more likely to do is break it up into small pieces and shovel it into a skip, and this is how we will remove the rock from the poker table, bit by bit. We will chip away at them with small raises, especially in position.

We will constantly be stealing their blinds with a massive range, almost any two cards. This works great in the later stages of a tournament when the blinds are bigger and you approach the bubble.

A rock isn’t a great post flop player, they either hit or miss in their own mind set (level 1 remember). We should also be looking to take pot control lines, and flat calling in position with suited connectors provides us with great implied odds.

There are a few things you shouldn’t be doing against rocks and these clearly include playing big pots with weak hands, like one pair. Playing hands that are easily dominated against a rock’s range can also be a big problem.

If you remember back to the type of hands I referred to that are in a rock’s range, then you will realise hands like AJ, A9, KJ, and Q10 are all in bad shape. Another thing to consider is, firing double barrel bluffs don’t work, these guys don’t play cabbage.

To recap, when playing against a marked rock (and take time before you mark someone into a particular grouping, three or four folds does not equate to someone being a rock, you need to see a number of hands and watch how they react to their own blinds and when they have position) always have in the front of your mind I am playing basic micro stakes or free online poker. A raise means a decent hand, a check means I have something I will fold. Avoid big pots with rocks, use your shovel and chip away.

In this online free poker games article we’ll examine split pots. A split pot is a pot where two (or more) players have identical five-card hands at the showdown.
For example, in a board with 8-9-10-Q-2 both players have a Jack meaning both have a Queen-high straight, therefore, they split.

It can also happen if both of them use the board cards as their five-card hand; for example with a board of A-K-Q-J-10; one player has 9-9 and the other has Q-J. Who wins? Both. They use the board cards as their hand; both of them have a Broadway Straight, so they split the pot.

Most players think that they should use at least one card from their hand to complete their hand. In the above example, the player with 9-9 might think that his straight is King-high, when actually it is Ace-high.

Assuming no flush possibilities, the other player might move all-in. That might scare the first player completely into folding. Don’t. You both have nuts hands.

Some Straights on the Board are a little bit more suspicious. Like 4-5-6-7-8. Someone bets substantially and now it’s up to you whether you call or not, or even raise. Just keep in mind that a Nine can finish you or your opponent.

In this case, you want to represent the Nine. When? If the Board is 6-7-5-4-8, in the order in which they fell? What if it is 4-5-7-6-8? 8-7-5-6-4 or 4-5-8-7-6? On which Board do you think your opponent will be most inclined to represent the Nine so you can fold without remorse? It’s important to be as analytic as possible here.

But what about a Board of 9-9-8-8-8? It’s a Full House. Both of you have a Full House already. You have Q-10 for example, and you follow until the river. Then in a jolt your opponent bets enough to put you all-in. Will you call? It is possible that your opponent is bluffing with, say, J-10; you still both have the same hand. Your opponent might have the last 8, but if he really did, then he should have folded, because you bet the Flop and the Turn.

Then, with unmistakable confidence, you overtly declare, “I play the Board, I call.” If you did, then you’re the 1997 World Series of Poker runner-up, Kevin McBride, who lost to J-9. The winner? Scotty Nguyen (baby, baby, baby). You have Eights full, baby. Scotty had Nines full (9-9-9-8-8).

With the Broadway Straight (with no flush) it is appropriate to call the all-in, and it is a sign of a smart player to do so. (Don’t call yourself smart if you held the 9-9 and you folded.)

But with the above Full House on the board just determine all possible hands that can beat you: a lone Nine or the last Eight. Surely if you have many more chips, just stack them and wait for some more hands.

But read the board well, don’t be psyched out by the chatter of the other player. During the interview after the heads-up match, McBride admitted that he called because of what Scotty said to him after Scotty pushed him all-in: “If you call it’ll be over baby”.

In some boards, such as A-K-2-2-7, if you have an Ace and your opponent bets substantially on the river, you can well put him on the Ace (but not A-K or A-2) and call him, even though you know you can’t win. You just split the pot.

If he bets heavily, forcing you to make the hard decision, you might as well fold. Why hope for a tie when you can win later?

No doubt about it this is a tricky area of poker, if you’ve not comfortable with this sort of situation make sure you practice a lot first in free online poker games online so that you won’t lose your bank when you go into money games.

In this free poker online article we’re going to look at the art of semi-bluffing.

What’s a semi bluff then? Well, if you’re bluffing with nothing, that’s what you call a pure bluff or a stone-cold bluff. But if you bluff where you have a bit of something and that’s what we call the semi-bluff.

For example, when you have a hand like Ad-Kd at a board of 6h-7h-8s-10h and you bet large or raise your opponent’s bet large, you are executing a pure bluff.

This is because your hand did not improve in the Flop and weakened on the Turn. But if you put your opponent on a weaker hand like A-Q or even a draw like A-J, then you can push him out of the pot by betting substantially. That is the only way you can win. If he calls your bluff, then you’re A-K can’t stand much pressure.

Suppose you are holding 7-6 and the Flop comes 5-4-J. Your opponent checks. You figure out that your opponent may have a raggedy Jack in there, so you check. You check with the intention of folding if you don’t improve your hand and if he plays aggressively; but the main reason of your checking is to catch a Three or an Eight and kill your opponent’s A-J, K-J or maybe 9-9 later.

However, suppose your opponent checks and you bet? Betting in this situation serves two purposes. One is to increase the pot if you somehow improve to your Straight. Two is to kick your opponent out. If he has nothing well, naturally, he shall move out. (With 9-9 he may move out.)

But what if he has the Jack? If he had a weak Jack (say, J-8) he may put you on a bigger Jack, say, A-J, or K-J and he may move out. Because you bet (or raise) it indicates that your pocket cards somehow fit the community cards.

Now, he may call, and you proceed to the Turn and the River. You figure out now he may have A-J or K-J. Or he may continue with 9-9.

If your hand doesn’t improve yet on the later rounds then you can pure-bluff your opponent all the way or stop.

But what if you hit your Straight? Then there is a possibility that he was putting you on a weaker Jack after the Flop (like J-8) and he may even raise with A-J or K-J. He has no idea that the Straight was completed!

He has no idea that the Three or the Eight helped you vastly. You can now crush your opponent. This is the semi part.

Here you can now win in two ways: Through the “bluff” part – Your opponent will fold. You still have the pot. Or through the “semi” – both of you will show down your hands, and you win a large pot.

Also, you can check and check until you complete the Straight, but you show your opponent your hand. The next time he will play with you, he might be scared if a similar situation arises.

If you semi-bluff, however, you still show your opponent if he decides to continue, but additionally, you can make your opponent fold so he cannot guess what you have.

Overall lesson?

You can be more unpredictable with semi-bluffing so get practising! And what better place to play free online poker than http://www.NoPayPOKER.com where you don’t have the fear of losing money like you do at on money sites or live tables yet you can still win real cash.

This free online poker article is about a hand I watched in a Sit-and-Go tournament I played in. One of the players was duped, but so was I even though I wasn’t in the hand. The moral of the story is that you need to know when to fold and to be very aware of the outs that exist in the hand else you may get crushed.

Here’s how and why:

BLINDS 30/60

A has As-Jd, calls 60
B has ??-??, calls 60
Big blind and small blind joins (Pot 210)

FLOP: 8c-4c-As

Here A believes that his Ace is strong, so he continues his aggression:

Big blind and small blind check-fold
A bets 300
B calls 300

Because A fired out more than the pot, B is now getting less than 2-to-1 on a call, (1.7-1) which is the right price to call for a Straight or a Flush draw with two cards to come. A’s bet is just enough to drive out an incomplete hand. But because B is a bad player who will chase down draws, he calls.

TURN: 8c-4c-As-5c

The Five of Clubs came, and A, at this point, still has a strong hand, but has weakened. His Pair of Aces is good against what he believes should be a stray Flush draw. If he makes B continue, however, he might not be able to play his Pair. So A continues battering:

A bets 500
B calls 500

RIVER: 8c-4c-As-5c-7d

A Diamond came! Not a four-Flush. Of course A believes his Aces are good already, except if his opponent had A-K. So A tries a check-trap

A checks
B bets 1250
A calls all-in 1250

B reveals 8d-6d, wins the pot

How in the world did B have the Straight? When A saw three Clubs, he thought his opponent had, say, one Pair and one Clover which could materialize into a made Flush later. It didn’t, so A thought B’s all-in was because of the value of the small Pair B already had. He believed it will be only 8-x or less, so A called with what he thought was the best hand. It wasn’t.

The board was dangerous, but A miscalculated the danger. By focusing too much on the Flush, he didn’t realize that the Board was one card off a Straight (only a 6 is needed to topple him), and when only three Clubs came, he was lifted his fright of the Flush, but it made him recklessly disregard all other potential hands. The check was correct, but a fold would be better after that check.

And I, too, was duped. I thought B had a busted Flush, too. When B pushed A all-in, I, too, thought he was doing it with a pair and a busted Flush draw. It was with a Straight.

So what free Poker lessons can be taken from this hand?
One is to know when to fold. If the board’s one card off a Straight or Flush or any other big made hand, and a big bet is in front of you (which you reasonably believe is not a bluff), you should, more often than not, fold.

Two is to know which cards can crush you. All of them, not just some.

For A, during the Flop and the Turn, he realized that only Clubs can crush him. On the river, because there are only three Clubs (if B had the flush made, he would have moved all-in on the Turn, and A could have folded), A thinks he’s safe. He focused on the Clubs too much; he forgot the 6.

Of course it’s easy with hindsight and analysis, being aware of factors like all the available outs is a tough one if you’re new to poker (hell even if you’ve got some time tucked away) so for that reason it’s best to practice a lot in free poker games at NoPayPOKER before you go off to places like Feltstars and PartyPoker or live games and start throwing real money about. Even when you do progress I advise you to come back and play free online poker regularly in order to de-stress, make errors without loss and practice new ideas.

Or possibly Keep It Simple and Straightforward if you’re up against not stupid players! On free online poker sites such as NoPayPOKER you’ll come up against both types though maybe a few more of the less clever ones than you’ll find at say a $500 buy in table in Vegas!

Lets look at some examples:

With A-10, for example, would you dare to go up against a strong player in a flop A-8-3? Yes sure if it’s free poker but what if there’s a lot of cash on the table?

You can just call-call-call, or bet and hope he does not play strongly. Why? Because if he’s a strong player, you can put him on A-K, or an Ace with a stronger kicker. If he moves all-in, you know what to do. Scamper, and wait until you have the A-K, or maybe a Set.

Here you are set to thinking. Does he really have A-K? Or just J-J with which he is willing to take to showdown but is not so willing to call a large raise with? Or maybe 8-7, because he believes my bet on the Flop is just a continuation bet and he calls?

But against five or six weak players, you may have to ask the same questions five to six times. Does he really have ?-? (for Player 1). Does he really have ?-? (for Player 2)…Or just ?-? (for Player 3)…and so on, until your mind is now drained, and you are finally knocked out with someone holding an A-8. So are at least three others.

Let’s look at another situation now, with a Board of 5-6-J-Q-8.
You have K-Q. A strong player probably has A-Q or K-K, or J-10, or something special, like 7-4 (usually suited). You might as well fold your K-Q at the end, or just call a small bet at the river. But at least you can put your strong opponent into a hand or into a few hands.

But with five or six weak players again, you’ll have to be careful. They may have the hands above, but because they’re weak, there will be more add-ons, like 8-5, J-5, Q-8, or even Q-5, all of which will add to the possibility of your K-Q being beaten.

Call a small bet at the river (because with many callers you are getting good pot odds to make the call). But when one moves all-in, it’s a signal. Fold your K-Q. What hand could they be doing the all-in with? If the player’s strong, you may have a clue. But with a weak player, you don’t.

Why go to war if you don’t know what you are trying to beat?

A strong player is willing to play more stronger hands than weaker ones. He is willing to play A-K more often than A-8 in his life, although frequency of play is no clue to how he plays specific hands. He remains unpredictable. But you will expect him to fold A-8 more often than A-K.

But weak players don’t know what hands they are playing. They will play J-5 as readily as A-K. So, when playing with them, because you can’t put them into a hand because they don’t even know theirs, just show them a good enough hand. A Two-Pair or higher, more desirably. In the A-10 example above, you’ll be happy with 3-3. In the second, I wish you have the 7-4 or the 10-9 before you act rashly.

And, unless you are just messing about in free poker games don’t attempt any fancy manoeuvres like all-in bluffs.

In the 5-6-J-Q-8 Board, don’t move all-in with A-K. Even with just two weak opponents, they will just readily call you with K-Q as much as with 6-4, J-9, or even 3-3. They don’t know the difference between them.

If they have something, they will be willing to take it along to death. So make your something stronger than their something, and take it to their death instead. No bluffs. No calling of suspected bluffs.

Remember – KISS – Keep it Simple or Straightforward; or KISS – Keep it Simple against Stupid Players!

Something that most free online poker and small stakes poker players don’t know is that the two types of game require different poker strategies. In this free poker article a successful free poker player who started as a beginner, reveals how he figured how to win both small stakes and free poker games consistently by recognizing and taking advantage of these factors.

To begin then. When playing on free poker games sites or sites that have freerolls, you’ll notice many more aggressive players. Plus at the start of free poker games you’ll see many more all ins pre flop and outrageous bluffs.

The reason is simple. At the beginning of these free poker tournaments, the player has neither money or time invested into play. The thinking is simple. If you can hit a big pot early, it gives you leverage later on as your chip stack gets larger.

If you lose, so what. There’s another free game around the corner. At this point the player has little time and no money invested.

The key to winning in this type of free poker game is to survive the feeding frenzy at the beginning and get to the middle and latter parts of the game where your skill and strategy (even basic solid skill) makes a massive difference.

Quite simply aim to preserve your stack and fold unless you have a very (very) good hand.

When everyone left has time invested in the tournament most settle into a more sane approach. Things like position at the table, reading the players, and exploiting hand strength become easier to manage. It’s also a great time for beginners to learn how to play poker better and start to really learn the nuances of the game.

Once you’ve learned a little bit about poker in free poker games and you are consistent but frustrated at having to wade through the craziness in the beginning of free online poker games and freerolls then its time to take the plunge into cash tournaments.

When you make the choice to go to cash tournaments, start small. Never go into a cash tournament that you can’t afford to lose. If you start small in cash tournaments you’ll find a lot more players closer to your level of play. You will also find players with more advanced skills than you currently have.

This is good because playing against them, if you approach it the right way, helps you learn things to improve your play that books and articles don’t or can’t always teach you.

But here’s the biggie.
You’ll learn a lot more about how to play the beginning of a tournament in cash tournaments.

You learn how to build your chip stack through methods that you learn and start to recognize your own strengths and weaknesses.

Don’t get me wrong, there are always players, even in cash games, that do those crazy things at the start of the tournament like all in before the flop and so on. But, in my opinion, they are fewer and farther between. The good thing is you can usually isolate them and let them burn themselves out.

Finally, I will always play free poker games. It’s fun and a little more laid back. But I also like playing cash tournaments because it presents a different challenge. As long as people play within themselves, there is no reason why you can’t enjoy both.
