These are all questions of a new player a player just like you. I will try to help you with some of them and others you will have to experiment with. By the way you will soon find out that these are not the most important questions you can have in poker. The most important questions are usually about poker strategy and making the correct decisions.
Lets get to the first one.
What is the best poker site to play on?
This is sort of an individual thing. My suggestions however will give you an some idea on what I look for and many sites just do not qualify. The best sites are usually the biggest poker sites. The reason for this is due to the the stability of software, the number of games, the number of opponents and last but no least is that the big sites have to somehow protect the integrity of the game.
One of the other features you may wish to look at are the graphics suitablility and the speed of the software. Some software just holds up in certain computers. But most big sites have corrected this problem. I also look for sites that also have some type of pros giving some type of lessons. This is very important when you begin to learn how to play poker. Join a site and learn at the same time.
The last thing I look at is the deposit bonus usually on the opening page of the website. There are various deposit bonuses but one of the best is a 100 deposit bonus of $600. Once you make a deposit of they will match your deposit. This amount will be added to your balance as you play. It will help during the learning curve of first using the software and also give you credit to use in the actual play of the game.
Who has the best poker software?
Most sites have great software. I do not consider one better over the other. But you may have to try a few sites just to find which online site you wish to play on.
How can I learn to play Hold’em Poker.
As I have discussed before poker is a simple investment game with each card and turn of cards offering a risk reward ratio. If you happen to invest good you will make money if you do not you will lose money. I have given some lessons on this site and have also included a forum for your review. You can go thru the forum and look at various strategy. The biggest way to learn is to go to a site such as full tilt or pokerstars and read their online pros articles about the game. The second method is to buy a book from the local bookstore or borrow a book from the local library. You can also find a lot of data online about how to play. I however suggest you first look at the tips and lessons on this site first.
Can I learn online poker?
Just about anyone with an average IQ can learn to play online poker. I have seen average people learn the game and be big winners. I have also seen the smartest of people play like fools when it comes to hold’em poker. I know two heart doctors with huge IQs not be able to play a lick of poker. Each player seems to have either and attribute to be able to learn the game or they just don’t have what it takes to learn. But most players that work at the game can make money in the game. One last caveat to this is that the math of the game seems to be a no higher than grad 7 level. Whether you will will make millions at the game or be a loser at the game will be up to you to learn the nuances of the poker game.
How to find six max poker hand charts?
I have included a 6 handed chart on this site. But many other charts are online. I suggest however you use my guideline as a starter and build your own strategy. But there are many good charts online and you can check them out. I first suggest you get the feel for the game buy signing up and getting involved in a free game just to get the feel of the game.
How to bluff in a holdem game?
You to will have to be able to bluff when you first learn to play poker. Players that cannot bluff are easy to read. I suggest you think of a possible hand that matches with the board and then I suggest you play the game like you have that hand. For example if there are three flush cards on the board. Play the hand like you have the flush. Or if the board is paired, play the game like you have trips of a full house. This is the jest of bluffing and you have to start early to learn how bluff properly.
Is Full Tilt, Poker Stars or Absolute Poker the best poker site to play on?
Like I said before each site has its own feel. It will be up to you to decide which site will suit you. I suggest you download the site and look at the software and decide which site feels right for you. You have to decide this for yourself especially if you plan to play for hours. I can tell you which one I prefer but like I said each person has his own preferences. My plan is to help you along you way.
How can I play multiple poker games online?
You can play more than one game online at a time. Yes it is easy. Just open more than one game and put it on your screen. At the top of the games usually there will be some type of tiling system where the games will adjust to your computer screen. Many players like to play two games as the game seems to go at a speed that keeps their mind occupied. Many players will play six to eight games. This is not easy and takes time to learn how to play that many games. First start with one game concentrate then ad a second holdem and then so on and so forth. Go until you feel you cannot keep up with the games and seem to be losing track of the players. Some players can play up to twenty games and win.
How to play Holdem Poker?
Ah!!! This is the question of all time. Holdem poker although very simple in nature is very complicated based on the individual opponent. The game like watching Roger Federer in tennis seems simple but has taken many thousands of shots to perfect. Each opponent has to be adjusted too. So in other words I am saying that there is no set strategy to win at the game. There are standard average plays that all people make but there are plays you have to test on your own that will work against a certain type of opponent. If you think there is a cookie cutter approach to the game then you will fall behind other players. Players play aggressive and win, players play tight and win and players play loose and win. This is what makes the game of holdem poker so fun and great and has now become the American Past time which is also becoming a world wide past time.
