I am not going to tell you my name. My name and face are unimportant. I am just another greedy player at the table trying to take your money. Also, you never know, I may see you at a table, and I just don’t want you to know my style. I’m not selling my face and name off of the poker tours. I’ve never been there.
Let’s just face one thing square up front. Poker involves money. No matter what you hear or say, this must be true. Without money, poker isn’t a game. You might as well join a game of spades or hearts, or even just get down and dirty with your niece in some Candyland. You’ll accomplish more (letting her win) beating her than you will winning a race against two other all-ins in a free game with friends. You’re just not going to accomplish anything playing poker without money involved. There is nothing to fight the luck.
Throughout this blog my gifts of thought to you will be based mostly on No Limit Texas Holdem. If you aren’t familiar with the game, I suggest learning the rules and playing for a while before you continue reading. I’m not going to teach the basics. This blog is meant to teach a better thinking process to average poker players, to give powerfully and uncomplicated math skills to a C student, to tone down the balls-to-the-wall gunslinger enough to win regularly, and to give any average player a deeper understanding needed to win at the game. Oh, and if you think you’re the expert at the table, you’re probably wrong. Even with the slight chance you are as good as you say you are, you can still learn from this blog by finding out what another poker enthusiast thinks.
This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t or won’t be able to play other poker games. In fact, the information I provide will help your thinking and improve play across all games, and just maybe, in life in general.
Hell, just to be nice, I’ll give you some insight on how to adjust your play style accordingly to some of the other games.
So come back, join in on the discussion, and let’s all learn a little bit more about the great game of No Limit Texas Holdem!
