If you like to play Texas Holdem Poker and do not want to go broke in the process. It is a good idea to read all the pages on this site and balance it with what your experience playing Texas Holdem Poker tells you. The poker books almost all tell you that you should raise when you have Ace/King in the pocket. I followed that advice for a long time until it began to dawn on me that I was losing a lot more than I was winning. It got to the point that I would cringe when I held Ace/King. Mathematically, I suppose, some one figured out that in the long run you would win more times than not. Well the long run can be very long, indeed, and I decided that at my age I could not count on playing Texas Holdem Poker for another five hundred years.

I began to play Texas Holdem Poker very cautiously, especially when faced with Big Slick as pocket cards. The caution paid off. I had no trouble dumping the Ace/King if I was faced with a couple of raises before the flop. Almost always I was beaten by pocket pairs from the git go. To be sure read every thing that you can about Texas Holdem but all that reading must be tempered by actual play. I use the online poker games to practice my casino game. The fine tuning helps. Texas Holdem Home Poker Games Lots of folks have begun to play in home games. Just be sure that you know at least two or three people, very well, in the game. If you don't then be aware that you could be putting yourself in line for a world of hurt Almost always you will be playing with family and friends and should have no worry about their honesty. of course, we all have the Black Sheep relative who is less than honest. Just be sure to insist that you start with new unopened decks. Bring them yourself if the other players won't. Even so, during the game when it is your turn to deal riffle the cards so the back faces you and watch if there are any marks or crimps in the cards. They will show up as an anomaly like a blip in a movie.
