Bookmark this page for future reference
Texas Hold'em has quickly become the most popular form of poker, and can be found in online poker rooms and casinos worldwide. The recent popularity of televised poker, such as the Travel Channel's "World Poker Tour" and ESPN's coverage of the World Series of Poker has introduced millions of people to the game. The goal of this site is to serve as an resource for beginners, teaching the basic strategy needed to beat the flood of new players online and in your local cardrooms.
Why play Texas Hold'em?
Simply - because it's fun AND one of the only "casino" games in which an educated player can consistently win.
Although Texas Hold'em appears to be a simple game, it is deceptively complex. As Mike Sexton on the World Poker Tour is fond of saying "It takes a minute to learn, and a lifetime to master". It's a fast-paced game which greatly favors skilled players, yet allows clueless players to win just often enough to keep coming back for more. Poker is a thinking game. Compared to a game like chess, poker is infinitely more complex. It's a game in which you will always have room to improve and more skills to master.
Whether you plan to play recreationally or to pay the bills, it's always more fun to win than lose. This site aims to start you on the path to becoming a winning player.
The Advantages of Online Poker
Online Poker is exploding in popularity. It is the training ground for pokers next big stars-as can be seen from the final tables of major tournaments world-wide. There are many advantages to learning poker online, which enable players to gain tons of experience in just a short period of time.
- The cost of learning poker is less online. In any game, there is a learning curve, and poker is no different. Online poker rooms offer novice players to the opportunity to use "play money", or at stakes as low as 10 cents a bet, and the inevitable mistakes they make are thus much less expensive.
- Players keep a greater percentage of their winnings online. In live games, the "rake" (a percent of every pot that the room keeps for themselves) is much less, and there is no "toke" (tipping the dealer).
- Online play is faster. A computer can randomly shuffle and deal cards in a few seconds as opposed to minutes, which leads to more hands per hour. More hands per hour means more money per hour.
- Playing on multiple tables simultaneously is allowed. Waiting for good cards and folding most of your hands can become boring. By playing two or three tables at once, not only is the game more exciting, but much more profitable.
- There are online poker tournaments starting every hour of the day, some as large as 2000 players, for both large and small buy-ins.
- You can play at any time, 24/7, with no waiting-list hassles, from anywhere in the world!
