Do You Make These 7 Poker Mistakes?

By Rory Monahan

Here are the seven mistakes to
avoid:

1. Getting Too Emotional

Don't let your emotions come out at the card table!

It's easy to get "into" the game, but you've got to practice self-control!

By staying cool, calm, and disciplined, you'll be able to concentrate on your
strategy and winning the hand.

2. Focusing Too Much On The Cards

Remember, poker is about the PLAYERS rather than the HANDS. Sure, what cards
you have is definitely important, but the only way to consistently WIN Texas Hold
'EM poker is if you are able to "read" the other players at the table.

Study their habits, watch their faces, observe their peculiarities... and THEN
focus on your own hand.

3. Folding Instead Of Checking

Don't fold if you can check! Unless it's part of some "bigger strategy" you've got
going (like the ones I talk about in my book), then it's silly to fold a hand when
you can just check instead.

4. Trying Too Hard To "Fool" The Opponent

Many beginners try to deliberately "fool"  the other players by "acting" a certain way.

A better strategy is to let your ACTIONS fool the other players. Keep your poker
face straight and calm and let them fall for the bait by making bets or placing action
in ways that will confuse them.

5. Being Too Consistent

The easiest way to win easy money at the poker table is to just study a person's
habits for awhile, and then take advantage of them hand-by-hand because they're so
predictable.

Don't be this kind of sucker!

If you make the same moves and same bets at the table every time you play, other
players will pick up on it so fast that you'll be out of chips in no time.

Be "spontaneous" in a calculated way, and be unpredictable. It will frustrate the
other players... and you'll win all their chips.

Everyone knows that some of poker's greats are most frequently beat by BEGINNING players
at the card table.

A lot of professionals refuse to play with "newbies" because they know there's such a
high risk of losing and being embarrassed.

So how exactly can these beginners beat these PROS?

The pros are SO MUCH BETTER at poker, that they are actually FOOLED by how BAD these
new players are.

The pros are USED TO playing against other pros... which makes it difficult for them to
even "remember" how to play against beginners.

Every card table is different. You need to learn how to adapt your game to each different
situation... Sometimes you'll have to increase the complexity of your strategy. Other times
you'll need to "dumb down" the strategy and only focus on the habits of the players.

You weren't BORN knowing how to play Texas Hold 'Em. You were TAUGHT how to play.

The problem is, most players never bother to take their skills to the NEXT LEVEL, by
getting professional instruction.

In less than a few hours, you can increase your skill at this game TREMENDOUSLY.

You can win more pots... night after night... and discover the secrets to making tons of
cash playing poker in your spare time.

I've been playing this game for over 13 years, and I can show you the way.
