So many people are playing poker these days. The craze started in 2003, and since then, I myself have played with many different types of people. Players from all over the world. I have played with the rich and not so much.
Poker filled the void that was left when I was done playing baseball. It is strange to say, but poker saved my life.
The best thing about it though, is that I have made money at the table, as well as on the computer.
Now, to clarify, I am not a professional. I tried that, it may have been the hardest three months of my life. It sounds fun, but the pressure to win will play head games with you. You must be very discipline, which may sound easy, but as you see profits, you spend profits.
My goal is to write a series of articles, that may help some of you go from the table "FISH" to the table "SHARK", or at least get you somewhere in the middle.
In writing this, I am assuming my readers know the poker basics. I will not go into hand rankings or anything of that sort.
Step One - Evaluating Your Play
If you want to win at poker, evaluating yourself honestly and often, is very important to progress in the poker world. When you make a bad call, you can't find reason why it was a good call, because it won't help you learn from your mistakes.
When doing this, remember that no matter how good you are, you will make mistakes. Even the best do, and these get broadcast over numerous television networks all over the world.
So ask yourself right now, "Can I honestly evaluate my play?"
If you say yes, and you truly mean it, then good. If you can't, then I recommend playing super low limits and please, do not ever "bet your house on it."
