Ok. So now you know all the basics. The rules; what beats what. A little bit about psychology & bluffing. Now how about learning some tricks that you can actually try out when you’re at the table. Let’s start off with an easy one. Something you can have fun with and one that is certain to win you some cash. This trick applies when playing in a cash game. It won’t work in a tournament so don’t bother using it there. It also will work best in a lower limit game (ie, $1-2 no limit, or $2-5 no limit). It will require patience but will virtually guarantee you an hourly profit. Try it and let me know how it goes.
Play a tight game for at least an hour. Let your table image resonate that you’re a rock. Each player will pick up that you only play good cards. Make a few comments after throwing away hand after hand. Someting like...“man, if these are the cards I’m going to get all night it’ll be a quick night for me”. Say anything that will let the other players at the table see you as a player who only plays premium cards (AK, JJ, QQ, KK, AA). You don’t have to throw away a good hand but make a point of saying “something” every once in awhile when you don’t play. If you do pick up a good hand make sure you show the table at the end of the hand (if it gets to the end). I think you get my point.
After an hour, use this trick to pick up at least 3-4 blinds an hour. In a $1-2 game that’s $9-12 bucks an hour. In a $2-5 game it would be a profit of $21 to $28 an hour. Now keep in mind there’s an avg of 20-25 hands per hour (if you have a good dealer that keeps the game going). So you will be using this trick only 10% of the time per hour. Here’s how it works. (Now that your opponents see you as a tight player)
• You will raise 4 times the big blind in one of these spots:
o When you’re first to act (to the left of the big blind)
o When you’re second to last to act (to the right of the button)
• If you’re at a table that has more than one loose aggressive player. Move to another table. If there’s only one player that’s really aggressive sit one or two spots to the left of him/her.
• Only make this move 3-4 times an hour. Preferably spread out in the hour.
• If someone calls you (doesn’t raise) play aggressive after the flop. To a point where you will go all in if you have to.
• If someone raises your initial raise; go all in.
• If someone raises in front of you-throw away your cards unless you have a premium hand.
When you raise 4 times the big blind your opponents will put you on a big hand. The trick is really based off your image. Will this work to perfection each time? No; of course not. Buy-in for a small amount, preferable the table minimum to limit your exposure. Pay attention to anyone who may have picked up on your style. As long as you’re able to maintain your rock image after an 8 hour session you will make at least a 40%-50% profit (30%-40% of your buy-in). Test it out. If you bomb the first time out analyze why. Did your image change? Did someone simply have a premium hand which you were trying to represent? The only time this should happen is either an opponent in the small or big blind and the player on the button. The others are either smooth calling (which usually means weakness) or simply aren’t in the hand.
Good luck!

Learning Poker - Psychology
Psychology is to poker as maps are to a tourist. If you’ve ever gone to an unfamiliar place whether on vacation or a random trip; how much easier would it have been if you had some sort of map (assuming you didn’t)? Maybe you like the adventure and just kind of go with the flow. Or you’re methodical and like to plan and prepare accordingly. Your map in poker is the psychology component of the game. If you can master the psychological element success will be inevitable. Some players play a straight forward game. They don’t talk much and simply react when necessary. Others can’t seem to stop chatting and go on and on about this that or the other thing.
Let’s analyze these two player types.
The Cold Shoulder - If you’re at a table for a few hours and there’s someone who doesn’t say much at all what does this mean to you? Are they just unfriendly? Maybe they’re having a bad day. Who knows, maybe they had a bad lunch. From 1000’s of hours of being at the poker table you can rely on a few things about the silent player. Next time you encounter one glance at their chips. In all likelihood they’re perfectly stacked, almost guarded in a way. These players will never react directly to what you say nor will they show much emotion while they’re playing. All players should try and understand their opponents in order to gain an advantage. This quiet behavior screams a few things. This player doesn’t want to give anything away. They feel the smallest move or discussion will give their opponent an advantage. Most pros tend to be very quiet especially during a hand as to not reveal the strength of their cards. This player is also very aware of his/her surroundings. Even though they appear not to be paying attention – trust me, they are. Play very aggressively against this type of player. If they hit their hand you may even be able to bluff them out depending on how strong the flop was for them. These players tend to be passive and will only play aggressive when they have an unbeatable hand. Look for betting patters. If you pick up on any – rely on them as these players will rarely change betting strategies. Look at how often they play and what spot they choose to play. If they’re playing more hands in later position then it’s safe to assume the types of cards they’re choosing to continue the hand with are marginal.
Chatty Cathy – Now you’re at the table with someone who just can’t stop talking. Their entire existence is based around you listening to what they have to say. The importance of everything coming out of their mouth is considered to be like gold (to them anyway). This can be a great player to be up against because they tend to give things away without realizing it. They’ll also try to become friends with everyone at the table in order to gain some sympathy for later hands where they might be in trouble. As you analyze this player look for clues to when they are chatting more. Is it during the hand or when a hand is over? Do they talk more or less after they lose or win a hand? As with any player pick up on when they choose to talk not necessarily what they are saying. What they say shouldn’t be given too much credibility as everyone at the poker table is usually there to make money or advance in a tournament. Jamie Gold was a master at confusing his opponents when he won the world series of poker. In my opinion he played the perfect tournament because he was able to manipulate his opponents through his rhetoric. Look at the perfect reverse psychology he used in this video that helped him win a big hand.
If you can do this consistently you’re going to need more than one bank account for all the money that will be rolling in. Try not to analyze these chatty players to much as they’re relying on getting in your head by talking you into submission. Look at their betting patters and make a judgment based on your hand strength, the opponents’ position and how the hand flowed. Try an recall the last pot they’ve won and if possible how they played the hand.
If you can understand how a player thinks. What they are capable of. How they perceive you as a player. Is your table image tight or aggressive? How does each of your opponents react to your type of play? Recognize the behaviors of each person and assign them 2 questions that you can rely on when facing them during a hand. If there is a bet against player X and he/she calls are they drawing to improve their hand based on what’s on the board? If player x re-raises is it because they sense weakness at the table or are they the type of player who holds legitimate cards? When you’re involved in a hand and can answer these two questions make your move accordingly. It may take making mistakes in order to gain information but if you can remember and learn from them then you will eventually master the psychological element of the game.

Learning Poker - Poker Tells
The one skill a poker player should continually improve is recognizing when they’re being deceived by another player known in the poker world as a “tell”. Mastering this skill will greatly improve your success in any poker game; tournament or cash. An opponent’s gestures will reveal the strength of their hand whether consciously or subconsciously. Recognizing whether or not a player is deliberately acting will be very important. There are tricky players who give off false signals meant to persuade you to either bet, call or fold. Poker tells is not an exact science. No one will be able to tell you that if a player does “x” it means “x”. In other words you’ll have to pay close attention and keep track of your opponents’ consistencies.
Here's an awesome video that illustrates poker tells.
I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. LEARN THE ART OF TELLS. IT WILL EITHER SAVE OR MAKE YOU A LOT OF MONEY.
When facing an opponent your judgment of the strength of his/her hand will come from a variety of factors as discussed in the bluffing post. However it’s a player tell that will confirm your suspicion. Look for these top 10 tells when calculating the strength of your opponents hand.
1. Weak means strong/Strong means weak. (conscious) This is actually a move that beginners will do more than pros. Analyze the situation. If your opponent is “overdoing” an emotion, verbal or none verbal, there’s a good chance the opposite of that emotion is true.
2. A quick glance at chips. (subconscious) If a player is wearing glasses then this tell will be of no help. However, if you notice a player glance at his/her chip after looking at the cards available this usually means they are ready to bet because they like the cards.
3. Trembling hands. This can be a deliberate or subconscious movement. Be cautious, it likely means a very good hand.
4. Facial expression. Also an expression that may be controlled. If a player makes a movement that appears to be very disappointing read # 1 above. A roll of the eyes or a quick sigh may not necessarily mean weakness. Look for patterns when analyzing facial expressions.
5. Peaking at hole cards. If your opponent peaks at their two cards after an initial flop; look to see if there is a flush draw. If there are two or 3 of the same suits on the flop then they are checking to see what suits they have. If the same suit hits the turn analyze after they act again.
6. Chip Stacking. Study the way a player stacks their chips. Loose aggressive players tend to maintain unorganized/sloppy stacks, while conservative players will keep organized stacks. Take into consideration which type of player a bet is coming from.
7. Anxiety. When a player is confronted or will be confronted the body can’t help but to react. Whether it’s from a vain that fills with blood on the top of ones forehead or the contraction of the chest with heavy breathing. After recognizing a players body reaction check their hand strength at the end of the hand. What made their body react this way? It will be repeated. Use the information to your advantage.
8. Body posture. There are players who will illustrate obvious hand strength from how they position themselves. Analyze their posture and associate it to the hand they reveal. Posture tends to be an unconscious act representing the truth.
9. Repetitive betting patters. Players who do not change their game are fixed on a specific strategy. For example they may always check after a flop when they miss or always bet regardless. Be aware of consistent betting patters and what they mean for that player.
10. Watch the eyes. A player who can’t look you straight in the eyes will usually mean they can’t lie. Try and ask them a question when facing a bet. If they can’t look you in the eyes and answer it usually means the hand they have is weak.
There are many tells that will help you make the correct decision during a hand. The most important thing to remember is to recognize patterns and try to associate those patters to an opponent’s cards. I love being at a table where players don’t pay attention to other players throughout a hand. Being able to associate a hand to a person’s actions is practically like playing a player who reveals their hole cards during the hand. You’ll be extremely successful as you develop the art of poker tells.

Learning Poker - How a Hand Flows, "when is it my turn?"
So far you've learned about hand strength and the importance of bluffing from the previous two articles. Now we'll talk a bit about when it’s your turn; known in the poker world as when to "act". The phrase “act” is appropriate since poker is 99% psychological (in my opinion). The poker world is filled with players wearing dark glasses to avoid giving anything away. Some believe the “eyes” never lie. Others will sigh or roll their eyes after looking at their cards as if the world has just come to end. There are many false signs, or “tells”, poker players will deliberately make that are meant to be deceptive. We’ll talk more about tells in the next post. For now, take my advice and don’t trust anyone when you’re at the poker table.
Now back to how a hand flows in Texas Holdem poker.
Let’s get the simple stuff over first.
The game is dealt clockwise. After each player is dealt their hole cards, depending on where each person is relative to the "button" will determine who goes first. The button is simply the starting point of the deal and is located in front of one player at a time. The button rotates clockwise after each hand is completed. The two players directly to the left of the button will need to put up what’s called blind bets before receiving their cards. The player who acts first will put up a “small blind” the second player the “big blind”. How much each blind will cost is determined by the betting structure.
Also known as the dealer button whoever has it in front of them will act last. So now, can you guess who goes first? No, not the player directly to the left of the button (small blind) not even the player second to the button (big blind). The first player that will need to make a decision is the person to the left of the big blind. There are 3 options this and the rest of the players up to the button will have. To either call (place the equivalent amount of chips/cash as the big blind), to raise (in a no limit structure at least half or up to all-in front of them) or to fold (discard the cards and wait for the next hand). The players on the blinds have the same options except they have already invested a blind bet. If they choose to raise they can. The small blind will need to “finish” the bet in order to call. If there are no raises, the big blind can simply check or has an option to raise.
Above was the first round of betting. There are actually 4 betting rounds in total. The second occurs after the “flop”. The flop is a set of 3 cards revealed that all players can use. The only difference between the first betting round and the second is the 2nd betting round starts with the player directly to the left of the button. The 3rd round of betting starts the same way and begins after a single card is revealed known as the “turn”. The final round of bets start after the 5th card is revealed known as the “river”.
Summary:
1. A round of betting before any community cards revealed.
2. The flop - 3 community cards revealed followed by a round of betting.
3. The turn - a 4th card revealed followed by a round of betting.
4. The river - a 5th card revealed followed by the last round of betting.
Be careful not to act out of turn. It will happen by mistake form time to time. Try to pay attention to how a person bets when it’s his/her turn. We’ll get into more about what to look for in a players behavior that may give you an advantage during a hand.

Learning Poker - Bluffing
Bluffing in poker is similar to the stare down by two prize fighters before a boxing match. Neither of them knows what the other is thinking or what they have in their arsenal. They try to intimidate each other by sending a glare that represents something like “watch out buddy, I have some serious skills that will dominate you”. Obviously there’s no physical component to poker but I think you get where I’m going. The stare down tries to intimidate an opponent into making mistakes later on.
Your greatest weapon in poker is how much to bet and when to “bluff”. Poker games are available in a variety of limits. By limits I mean the structure of how much players can bet during a hand. The most popular betting structure in poker is currently no limit. No limit means you can bet up to the total amount of cash and/or chips in front of you. If you don’t know when to actually place a bet my next post will talk about position and how a hand flows.
Essentially, bluffing is placing a bet (placing money or chips into a pot) in a manner that represents a strong hand value when in fact the exact opposite is true. If you bluff too often experienced players will catch on and “call” your bluff. If you never bluff and only bet when you have a strong hand then the pots you do win will be very small. After a few hours of poker you’ll be amazed at what you learn from each player at the table. After playing for an hour or two you should be able to answer these questions relatively easy about your opponents.
1. Thrill seekers. Are there players at the table that play every hand? Who are they?
2. Rocks. Is there anyone who hardly ever plays a hand? When they do, is their hand value usually very high?
3. Unpredictable. Are there players that don’t fit the profile of neither #1 nor #2?
The hardest players to be successful against are the ones who fall into #3 above. Here's an example of a player who falls into #3;
Not to say that players who fall into category #1 & #2 are easy. At the very least #1 and #2 fall into a category in which a reasonable judgment can be made on the strength of their hand. A player falling into #1 will usually have a weaker hand value. I call them thrill seekers because they feel a need to always be a part of the action. Players falling into #2 are rocks. Meaning that when they do play a hand it’s when they have a solid hand value that can’t be beat. Finally, #3 is a player that will need to be analyzed for other “tells”. A tell is some other element of a person’s behavior that reveals the strength of their hand value.
In terms of bluffing, the hardest player to bluff is actually #1. Seem odd that someone who will likely have a weak hand is hard to bluff? Well the problem is that this person will always be in the hand. They will always want to be a part of the action no matter how much you bet. On the positive side these are the most profitable players to be up against because they will always play even when it’s obvious they are beat. I would recommend against trying to bluff a thrill seeker. With the popularity of poker increasing over the years players in this category exist but are on the decline. In my opinion players usually fall into category #2 or #3. Happy hunting for the thrill seekers!
If you learned anything in this post it should be that bluffing will need to be a part of your arsenal. To be a successful poker player I’d highly recommend developing into the unpredictable player. A player who changes betting patterns and hand selections. Hand selections will be discussed more in later posts. For now, hand selection is simply deciding whether the cards you're initially dealt are worth a preliminary bet. My next post will discuss how a typical hand hand flows!
