Free Online Poker Tips – You’ll Never Win a Tournament Until You Read This

So, you want to be a good poker player, well the first tip when playing free online poker is that you need to have patience, and a lot of it. I have played for 20 hands and folded every single one before a decent hand appears. Its all about waiting.

Most players tend to go all in if they have an A and another card. This is foolish. Of course 2 Aces are nice but I’d rather bet small and play on nine people’s money than all in and maybe you’ll get one taker. Wait until after the flop to bet. Make sure a possible straight or flush won’t beat you. It’s worth the wait.

Don’t bet on future cards you hope you’ll get. For example you have 4 cards to a straight and someone goes all in. Just fold. Odds are not in your favour to bet.

Playing online poker means that you cannot see if people are using their poker face, but you can still watch players and learn how they play their game. I see a lot of people bet $400 on opening bet and then go all in after flop. These people generally have nothing.

Then along comes the aggressive player. There will always be one of these at the table, they have more money and bet high every hand. Its worth just letting them get on with it and not letting it get to you. The right hand will come for you.

If you are a gambler, make sure your down cards will make a straight, or you have a pair. Never bet 2/9, 2/8, K/3 for example. All you have here is a luck bet.

I have found that playing free online poker games to perfect my play is the way to start playing poker, there are many sites that you can play at and not pay a penny but still win real cash.

Poker is all about patience and only a little bit of luck. If you are patient in every game and tournament that you play then you wont go far wrong. Next time you are on the free online poker sites try it out.
