Psychology in poker

Poker has many interesting features that distinguish this game from others. Quite simply apply vyuchennuyu strategy, say, Backgammon, checkers or other games, but not in poker. Follow the basic strategy and the use of calculating the percentage probability always gives a good opportunity to win money from the “terrible” player, but it will be very slow. It is very difficult to play badly, just using mathematical calculations. If you want to get really good results from his game, you must understand the psychology.

There are two main tasks, settled only through psychology. First: you must understand your opponents style of play. Second: you must understand how impressed you are on your rivals.

The essence of the use of psychology in his game - competently do raise rates and to make the weak strong hand. This requires knowledge of your opponents style of play. For example, if one of the players constantly makes bets and plays with any maps, you can try to bluff. However, if you one on one remained very taytovy player, even a small rate will force him fold if he does not flop.
Very importantly, how to think about your style of game the other players. If you play every tenth distribution or only when you have a fantastic card who you believe that your hands on something better pair, if you blefuete with ugly flop?

An important part of psychology in poker - do not allow to unravel your style of play. Very aggressive players must understand that their bluff will not work because they have no credibility. Very taytovye players using bluff, prepare yourself carefully to their rivals, who know perfectly what taytovye players play their hands. If you are not mixing different styles of game, you will never be able to deceive opponents.
Personally, I have not won until not made a very difficult and important change in the style of my game. When I started playing, I stayed only 20% of all distribution. This is a good start for beginners, pooskolku they receive a wealth of experience and not lose a lot of money. Unfortunately, every skilled player at each new site calculates me for a week and then played already correspondingly. With the changing tactics of my game I started to play more hands, and to discern the style of my game for other became very difficult. Consequently, my bluff has become much effective work.

The seven sins of gambling.

We have seven players bad habits, each individually, much less a few together, virtually guarantee a player lose even before he sat down for a computer (or went to the casino). This game seven sins, each of which - a guaranteed way to give money to the casino.

1. Binge

It’s no secret that alcohol harms the ability to think sensibly, but the players still want to get another cocktail. It’s fine if you want to play blackjack after heavy working day with a glass of beer. However, excessive alcohol infatuation leads to the loss of attention, judgement, patience and, finally, money.

2. It tries to win back

As stated, “but not the son beat the father that played, but for the fact that otygryvalsya”. The players, to dream their money back when the big loser - best friends of the casino. Remember that you are playing not only for the sake of pleasure, but to win. Before the game limit set loose by which you can afford, as well as the estimated size of winnings, and adhere to these limits. If you’re lucky, turn off the computer and try the next day.

3. “Intuitive” bid

The second name “intuitive” player - bankrupt. “Intuitive” players ignore the probability theory and make bets on a whim. In games like Blackjack or video poker, where there is an optimal strategy, the strategy should be followed. Every time you deviate from the strategy because you “feel”, which will map will increase casino winnings.

4. “Progressive” bid

If you start to put recklessly and above the limit after turns your losses (that is, if the attempt to use martingeyl) to “teach a lesson casino”, your vindictiveness only worsen the situation. Remember, the only lesson that casino excellent knows, is that it will still remain in the win. So what exactly breathe.

5. Getting the new games

Of course, Sic Bo looks fun and exotic. However, if you are new to the game, first play in the mode of practice (and, of course, explore opportunities and basic strategy for the game). Until the moment when you learn the game, you’ll make mistakes, so it is better to play “at fantiki”, rather than lose money.

6. Too big bets (very similar to paragraphs 2 and 4, but the author made a separate topic)

Believe me, very easily, losing a few bets, start to put on big, in an attempt to win back. But the best way to lose more than can afford - to raise more than can afford. Make bets, win and play within your limits. This council remains relevant and when the winning band, when many are starting to put more rules. Even if you win, you put your money, not money casino!

7. Loss of concentration

Most accounts hear that a player simply does not remember how to get everything to lose money for the evening. The game is fascinating, sometimes so much that you can lose concentration and start taking wrong decisions. The loss of concentration, perhaps the main threat for the player. Be careful, entertained, but if you feel that losing concentration - stop the game.
