Hi there guys!

But of I am not using any money yet because I know I will just lose the game. Just playing online and offline... but I am really sick on it.

Hey man. Good to hear you want to improve your poker plays. It all depends on how much time you want to put in. There are so many books out there from top poker players, it would take a lifetime to read them all.

Here is a short summary I found very usefull:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=142456801

It just a quick summary but it gives you insight for the starting hands that are good to use.

Every decent player has fixed ranged of cards he will play and the rest he will fold. Especially when playing online where you have a very limited amount of time available to play and the information on other players is very limited too you should have a fixed system to play by.

Poker is getting very complex depending on if you play cash games or tournaments.

I would recommend to try and play on the top cards at the beginning and see if you hit a good flop - if you do, keep betting. Otherwise just get out. Bluffing as a beginner is very hard and might take a huge part of your bankroll.

Also playing poker with play money is a bit different to real money. I would recommend to try to make a jump to micro tables where the blind are 0.01 and 0.02$. You cant lose more than 1-2$ and the learning curve is pretty good.

Good lucky my friend.

PS. On which platform do you play?

[mersal]

There are different types of poker games available in the gambling places for people to choose, the most popular one is texas holdem poker where also you need to luck at most to win the games but you can confuse the other players with your confidence level and bluffing while cards are in your hand to increase your chances.

Better visit the online blogs to get detailed information about poker and how strategies work on it.

Are there gambling sites where I can play tables with 1-2 cent blinds and this site accepts crypto to play? If there are - could you recommend few please. Thanks

I would also like to improve poker skills, plus get some fun. I’m not rich enough to spend 30-50$ each evening playing poker, but “less than 5$” is something I can afford 

Playing with play money is not interesting, because when you play, you dont care much about the result. You can all in each game and then just reload play money.

I am no expert so I tried to search for it thru online. I've checked articles and here's a link in which I find it simple to understand especially if you are a beginner. There are also videos which will make it easier to understand.

This is quite true. If it is real money, a player would be forced to think of a better way whenever he is playing because he would be at risk of losing the game and money if he won't be thrilled with the game.

There are several kinds of poker and the same sounding pokers too would have a bit different rules depending on where you play. Pokerstars have a short guide for popular types of poker games https://www.pokerstars.com/poker/games/
I also some time mess up the rules with similar games like Baduci and Badugy.
You can also find a bit detailed info about different poker games in wikipedia

If you've just begun to play poker then it is quite normal to find it hard. Just play and play and enjoy the game. Sooner you will get the hang of it and learn the basic strategies.

The best poker strategy for me is to somehow understand or read how your opponents play. That's the key to end up winning in general. Of course, luck always matters even in poker but being able to catch your opponents' strategy will allow you to somehow dominate the game.

It is also very important to control your emotions, learn to fold, and forget about the money. A lot of newbie poker players continue to call after the river even though they know very well that their hands have too little chance of winning.

[Inkdatar]

In poker we experience of losing the game I’ve tried it twice to play but I ended up losing all the time. I guess I just lack of strategies to bet. I find it hard also, so we could master the games on our own in the long run by continues playing it but of course if your funds permits it. By watching some videos, reading some articles this could gives us a tremendous way to learn some strategy.

I'm sure you can read the rules online, and there are various kinds of poker, so the rules can vary greatly. What you should memorize is the hierarchy (from the weakest to the strongest combinations) because otherwise you can't evaluate your chances. Knowing the odds of having particular combinations also wouldn't hurt in decision-making. Even though I prefer online gambling, I'm more comfortable playing poker physically, with friends. The time limits per making the move online make me nervous, and I hate those people who aggressively increase the bet amount at the very beginning of the game, whom I've met when playing online. An advantage of playing online, however, is that you can feel free about expressing emotions since nobody can see your face. As for winning, I'm not sure it's possible to maintain stable income with poker at all. I've seen good players, but even they often lose and end up with zero balance, not profit.

When you are interested in playing poker, first of all, you will spend your time reading and watching a lot of videos about for you to learn.

And once you have an idea about it, that's the time where you can ask those things that you don't understand in a poker game. You should build your own foundation and don't rely on us, because at the end of the day, you are the one who will control your strategies and do a good decision making in the game.

But as most of the people said, bad luck is your number one enemy and followed by greed.

Strategies should depend on you, and you need to deal with the actual game so that you how it actually works and played. If we give you some advice then you will not really understand it very well.
You need practice and experience in poker to make it helpful and profitable for you.

Practice having a poker face no matter what happens, don't let your opponent read your facial expression.

not quite true. I usually care more about how I will play my cards (especially if it is bad) and how I will manipulate my opponents into thinking that I have a bad card if I have a good card and vice versa, having a good amount of money/play money makes you do that. it also helps you practice and be more cautious when using real money.

I don't know man, the thing with playmoney is that you can't get broke. Once you lose everything they will just top your balance back up. So strategy wise most people will just keep going all in most of the hands with play money. I would not recommend playing a lot of playmoney poker and trying to find a good strategy for it. People tend to play differently with money and when it's for free. When I started playing poker I was really into the free tournaments which were played a few times a day. In the end it was not very fruitful. If you start playing micro poker with only 1$ bankroll at the beginning you can't lose much.

[andycarrol]

I am playing poker as well i already saw some articles about poker strategies but i don't read them since i think playing card games only uses luck but it seems that poker strategy would really work, usually i always bluff and increases bet from time to time but i think it is not a good thing i lose some amount with that strategy.

that's the point you can't get broke so you can continue honing your poker skills and if they keep going all-in with almost every card will that person learn something? I understand if people see that it is pointless but in my point of view, you can learn things even when playing with play money.

If you start playing micro poker with only 1$ bankroll at the beginning you can't lose much.

that's true, this is what I did when I was starting to play poker(after knowing enough about the game) but there are still things you can pick up from players that play poker with play money it may not be much but it is still something.

It's your nerve that matters, inside poker bluffing is a serious attempt.

Since once your opponents already learned your strategy it will burned you, many experienced players
managed to study their opponents allowing them to win to master the patterns, it's hard but learnable
and once you already have such instinct it will favor you along the way.

I'm a casual poker player and I swear poker is a hard and exhausting game but trust me it's fun when you're winning.

I see that you are a beginner on poker, I must advice that you don't go in high blinds table that would be problematic for you, instead go for the lower blinds table where you can easily fold when you feel that your cards is a trash, that won't push you to go far with less chance winning cards. And also the in and outs of the card, it is hard to read the cards but you should know your chances on getting the card that you need to win the round.

Even you read stuff or gather some information about some strategies, it won't be applied easily in most of the cases if you are having a hard time understanding the basics of the game. Since game situations are different in every session, different strategies are applied.

I suggest to just keep on playing. You have to be used to playing poker to build experience.

Practice makes perfect, not 100% but a continuous and regular playing will make you familiar with the game.

[Wexnident]

No amount of reading could make you get good, just like no amount of theory crafting could make you successful in an RPG dungeon run, or like how a scientist could never get a body builder body with just trying to study theories and best ways. Practice makes perfect, and well, with that also comes your money. You can try playing without money involved, but the experience that comes with that seems like it would end up null, since the thrill and all also helps in decision making at times. Since you're playing online and not offline, facial expressions could basically be left out, but bluffing could still be useful. Try to craft theories always on what the cards of others are depending on the situation and especially watch out for bluffs.

If you are able to perfectly execute what you read you may actually be a better player. But that's definitely not the only road toward becoming a good poker player. Some earned their poker skills from years and years of playing. Some simply seem to have the knack of it.

Playing without money involved may teach you the basics but not really prepare you for the real poker table. Your hand won't shake if you are playing with play money even if you raise $10,000 but when the real game comes, well, at least from experience, your hand will involuntarily shake when calling even a much much lower raise.

Better try playing and playing the game. Most would tell you strategies that were used by pros and other gamblers, but for me, what makes a gambler so smart and good is because of experience in winning and losing. Just add those strategies that some have suggested to your idea when to put this card etc., then keep those loses you've experienced as a lesson on both how to not lose anymore and how to handle loses maturely.
