I never thought I had a chance of winning much being such a novice to the free online poker world. However, just over seven days since my last blog I already feel like my experiences have made me a better poker player. In a word my biggest weapon is patience. It seems bizarre to me the amount of opponents who go all in on their 1st hand and go down.

This obviously sends all but one player to an early grave. My recommendations are to stay safe until the final table, which I like to play more aggressively. I fold folded a lot of good hands early in the game and never regretted it because whatever happened I was still in the game.

Having played free online poker for a while now, I have come to realise that there are typically two types of Texas Holdem players: those who play the cards and others who play the player. So, which type of play is best? And how do you know if you are playing the right one? Well, in my experience, I try to play both.

I spent many years trying to perfect my game and working out the percentages of the hands and outs, etc. I would say that it benefited me, but not as greatly as I would have liked. What I did not factor in, was the style of play by others. Playing the player is a strategy that should not be overlooked.
