pokerdeceit.com aims to help
players learn to win at poker, but
before you can win at poker, you need to
learn how to play poker! But poker isn't
some sort of widget that comes with easy
to assemble instructions. There are a
many types of games with different rules
(and strategies). There are even
different betting structures (like Limit
versus No Limit) and different game
formats (like normal "ring" games versus
tournaments).
Here are a variety of links to pages on
this site that deal with the basics,
from game rules to hand rankings to
basic strategies. After a bit of
reading, these days the best way to
learn how to play poker is by playing
the free poker games at an online
cardroom -- or even just watching others
play. It's very simple to do, you
download the software, sign up (doesn't
cost anything unless you eventually play
for real money) then click one of the
active tables and watch how the game
moves and how poker hands are played. If
you want to play, click an open seat on
a free-play table and start playing. The
learning process is greatly accelerated,
and you don't need to rely on friends to
put together a game. Online there are
always games to play or watch. Naturally
free games are wilder and somewhat
unrealistic compared to money games, but
in terms of offering a way to learn the
fundamentals, nothing else in history
compares. |
