Champion of Poker

There are many ways to make money in poker but for every way to make money then there must be a hundred ways to lose it. In my study of games both poker related and non poker related then I have found many similarities between all types of games and game theory has long since been a passion of mine. However to play most games then you usually require a basic default strategy that elevates your game above 99% of the other people playing the game.

In poker then having a default basic strategy is difficult to explain in regards what this actually means but I will attempt to put it into words as best as I possibly can. It is a way to play poker that makes the player basically know the “correct” course of action for every possible situation that they could encounter at the table. In this way then playing Texas Hold’em becomes similar to playing blackjack in that the correct action is nearly always known.

Developing your “basic” is something that takes work as well as experience. I believe that to play this way although not exciting in the least does allow a player to avoid the pitfalls of getting into trouble when they multi-table. To effectively play numerous tables at once then you need to at least try and automate the process of playing poker. Part of this process is to let the betting do the talking at the lower levels. Do not try to get into situations where you are out thinking yourself.

Higher multiple level thinking is required and is essential at higher levels but not at levels like NL50 and NL100 on some sites although NL100 on some sites can be quite tough. But letting the betting do the talking is a key component of multi-tabling lower levels and it saves time as well as tilt when you make a series of wrong decisions when you try to out level yourself. At the higher levels then the extra level of complexity can leave multi-tabling very difficult at levels like NL400 and NL600.

But at levels like NL50 and NL100 full-ring the there is nearly always some value in these games somewhere and you need patience to sit there and wait for it to come to you. If you are going to play poker without a tracker program at a level like NL50 then you need to make sure that your technique is very strong.

There are flaws in nearly all techniques at the lower levels and one of the biggest ones is in not listening to the betting clearly enough. This often leads to players getting needlessly stacked when they could have got away from the hand. A basic strategy for poker in my mind does not just involve playing the hands but actually reading the game as well and at the lower levels then reading action is easier to do than at the more sophisticated middle limits and also in the erratic low-stakes and micro levels.
