Free Online Poker Guide To The Art Of Winning By Keeping Poker Simple

 


On free online poker sites you'll come up against good, bad and actually stupid players though maybe a few more of the latter 2 on the free sites than on say a $5000 buy in table in Monaco!

Good, bad, stupid no matter there is one playing style you should adopt to play successfully against them all and that is KISS, or rather that is, Keep it Simple or Straightforward; or KISS - Keep It Simple against Stupid players!

Lets look at some examples:

With A-10, for example, would you dare to go up against a strong player in a flop A-8-3? Yes sure if it's free poker but what if there's a lot of cash on the table?

You can just call-call-call, or bet and hope he does not play strongly. Why? Because if he's a strong player, you can put him on A-K, or an Ace with a stronger kicker. If he moves all-in, you know what to do. Scamper, and wait until you have the A-K, or maybe a Set.

Here you are set to thinking. Does he really have A-K? Or just J-J with which he is willing to take to showdown but is not so willing to call a large raise with? Or maybe 8-7, because he believes my bet on the Flop is just a continuation bet and he calls?

But against five or six weak players, you may have to ask the same questions five to six times. Does he really have?-? (for Player 1). Does he really have?-? (for Player 2) just?-? (for Player 3) so on, until your mind is now drained, and you are finally knocked out with someone holding an A-8. So are at least three others.

Let us look at another situation now, with a Board of 5-6-J-Q-8.

You have K-Q. A strong player probably has A-Q or K-K, or J-10, or something special, like 7-4 (usually suited). You might as well fold your K-Q at the end, or just call a small bet at the river. But at least you can put your strong opponent into a hand or into a few hands.

But with five or six weak players again, you'll have to be careful. They may have the hands above, but because they're weak, there will be more add-ons, like 8-5, J-5, Q-8, or even Q-5, all of which will add to the possibility of your K-Q being beaten.

Call a small bet at the river (because with many callers you are getting good pot odds to make the call). But when one moves all-in, it's a signal. Fold your K-Q. What hand could they be doing the all-in with? If the player's strong, you may have a clue. But with a weak player, you don't.

Why go to war if you don't know what you are trying to beat?

A strong player is willing to play more stronger hands than weaker ones. He is willing to play A-K more often than A-8 in his life, although frequency of play is no clue to how he plays specific hands. He remains unpredictable. But you will expect him to fold A-8 more often than A-K.

But weak players don't know what hands they are playing. They will play J-5 as readily as A-K. So, when playing with them, because you can't put them into a hand because they don't even know theirs, just show them a good enough hand. A Two-Pair or higher, more desirably. In the A-10 example above, you'll be happy with 3-3. In the second, I wish you have the 7-4 or the 10-9 before you act rashly.

And, unless you are just messing about in a free poker game don't attempt any fancy manoeuvres like all-in bluffs.

In the 5-6-J-Q-8 Board, don't move all-in with A-K. Even with just two weak opponents, they will just readily call you with K-Q as much as with 6-4, J-9, or even 3-3. They don't know the difference between them.

If they have something, they will be willing to take it along to death. So make your something stronger than their something, and take it to their death instead. No bluffs. No calling of suspected bluffs.

Remember - KISS - Keep it Simple or Straightforward; or KISS - Keep it Simple against Stupid Players!

Things to Do Before Betting at the Racetracks

Okay, in all probability, you're not a professional gambler. But if you do visit the race tracks regularly, and want to get serious money from your wagers, it's about time for you to get serious about your betting strategy. It's time to stop deciding on who to bet your money on right on the race track itself and start making it a regular part of your day. This means, you devote at least thirty minutes to an hour studying your options.
Always have a copy of any newspaper that covers everything you need to know about horse racing. Or you can go online for websites that are all about the races. Browse it for information regarding upcoming races and horse racing or betting features. Get to know the horses, jockeys, trainers and owners before looking at which horse to bet for.
In narrowing down your options, decide on the race that you will be focusing on. Try to leave out handicap races as it's always going to be difficult to predict who will win here. Also, don't bother betting on the lowest grade races as well as those where apprentice and amateurs are the ones riding the horse. That leaves you to focus on perhaps three races or so.
In deciding who to bet on in a particular race, eliminate horses that have never been raced on a particular track. For example, if a horse has traditionally been used to racing on turf but is now placed on dirt, chances are, it's not going to perform well. Also, if the equine has never tried running a longer distance, then don't include it among your bets. If it has also moved up in class for the first time, don't expect too much of it as well. Racing comments are also helpful to guide you in your decisions.
It stands to reason that you stand to win more if you back only one horse in a particular race. However, if you can't decide between two or three potential winners, then just cover your bases and bet on all three. You might not win big, but you'll definitely not lose your wagers.

The Backbone of Matched Betting - Protect Your Stake at All Times

Your stake is traditionally thought of as the money (or other thing of value) that you are prepared to lose when committing to a bet.
But, of course, when you place a bet you are hoping to win.
Any kid who ever dropped a 10 pence coin into a fruit machine along a candy-flossed and weather-battered pier at the seaside, wanted that 10p coin to come good and reap reward. We all imagine the ching-ching-ching of coin after coin spilling into the metal tray and into our open palms, as we let the single coin drop. It's exciting.
No kid drops the coin and imagines the complete absence of sound, as the machine silently swallows a small portion of his tiny wealth. But of course, that's what happens - time after time, so much more often than the dang thing pays out.
Which is what makes matched betting such a radical departure from traditional betting. Every action taken that puts your stake at risk is countered by an action to protect that stake. A back bet is placed on an outcome - the very backbone of matched betting demands that a corresponding lay bet be placed on that same outcome. The stake must be protected, which entirely removes the risk of forfeit. This is why matched betting is an as yet unsung revelation.
Have you ever watched young kids play on a park see-saw? When they're giggling and getting along the see-saw works in perfect balance - up and down, up and down, both kids safe.
But, you know, sooner or later the kids fall out, or the oldest decides to play a trick on his little brother. As soon as one kid jumps off, the equilibrium is broken and the other kid hits the ground with a big old bump. The see-saw needs both sides to bring smiles - otherwise there'll be bruises and tears before bedtime.
That's why any back bet needs to be swiftly followed with a corresponding lay bet, so that there's no big bump back down to Earth.
Wouldn't 'Zero Risk Betting', be such a great marketing tool? I wish such a thing existed. Unfortunately, any first bet is always placed in the knowledge that something might go wrong. A technology failure could prevent the counter bet being placed. The vendor's website or server may fail, or the intervention may be at your end if you lose your internet connection or suffer a power cut. There were some pretty hot tempers and outpourings when Betfair had its much-publicised downtime recently.
Or worse yet (the horror!), you may yourself trip up in the execution of the counter bet. A simple typo when entering the amount would be enough to skew the match, and leave your stake uncovered - although it is my opinion that a careful and unhurried approach to the set up of your bets will negate these kind of risks to an absolute minimum.
Although these potential technical and human errors pose a small threat, they are a world away from the gambling mentality of placing a true bet where no attempt is made to protect the stake.
If, during the course of matched betting, you are ever tempted to keep your bet open as a true bet in the hope of bagging more money, then you can only really blame yourself when you find your free bet wasted - or worse, find your float is down. Discipline is the key to success at matched betting and should be exercised at all times.
My Grandad used to bet on the horses all his life. He stopped at the age of 75, only when he befriended a retired bookie who told him it was 'a mug's game'. These days we are lucky enough to have betting exchanges, so we don't need to play mug to the bookies.
Placing an uncovered bet is buying into a dream (with a splash of adrenalin for added excitement) and, to my mind, this is OK if you're at the seaside, whiling away the time at the amusement arcades with a few spare 10ps.
But if you're actually making a real attempt to make money (rather than lose money), this type of approach is just not sustainable.
The only way to consistently build a bank of money that is not periodically decimated is to match all your bets, and keep your stakes covered.

NBA Betting System - How to Win Consistently With Proven, Good NBA Betting Systems

Just keep in mind about one thing before following or implementing any NBA basketball betting system- There isn't any system in this world that can guarantee you to win money every season. These systems are created for the only purpose of eliminating your chances of losses based on recorded trends and stats while increasing your probability of winning. In the end, you're the one who make the decision based on your preparation and have full responsible for your decision.
If you're looking for a perfect guaranteed-winning system, I'm sorry to tell you that it doesn't exist. Not even professional bettors who make a living in NBA betting will boast that they're going to make huge profits every season with their systems on hand. The best professional sports bettor I know used 5 systems and subscribed to 3 annually paid handicapper service to make averagely $60k a year.
That is crazy, isn't it? That is not something an ordinary bettor would normally do. You don't need to copy his way to make good profits in NBA betting. Following one or 2 good systems will be more than enough to make good money for an ordinary bettor. Yes, I'm telling you the truth, given that you're having strict money management and self-discipline in betting.
Do you know why advanced bettors often achieve more wins than losses? One of the biggest reason is because they play with true discipline and having a clear defined strategy in mind. They know how much they can afford to lose in one season and never let emotion get over them. They won't lose their mind when experiencing an unstoppable winning streak and stop when losing for a few consecutive games. They analyze why they lose, and adjust their strategies for games ahead
Many NBA betting systems work great, honestly. Many times people attempt to put their own twist on the system and 9 times out of 10 it doesn't work. If there is a PROVEN good system where many bettors have had big successes but yet you failed to monetize, the problem should fall on you but not the system itself.
To start your winning campaign in NBA betting, the first most important thing is to follow a highly reliable and proven good system as I've been emphasizing throughout the article. Once you get such system, the next thing you should do is to develop your own strategy and play with the style you feel comfortable with.

Holdem Betting Strategy - A Weird Tip You Wouldn't Think Would Work

You wouldn't think that this weird Holdem betting strategy tip would work but it does. It will explode your earnings and make it easy to win more pots, faster.
Holdem Betting Strategy - The Weird Tip
This weird tip is a counter-intuitive one and you won't hear many famous or great poker players teaching it. However, I feel that it really does help newer players find their place in the game. For brand new, beginner and even lower level intermediate players this is a great way to win more pots.
The exact tip is to never ever check and never ever call. What's that? Never. Yes never. When you play this aggressive style you only ever raise or fold. And if someone else re-raises you and it comes back to you, you can only re-raise them or fold.
The reason this Holdem betting strategy works is because it forces you to play aggressive. An aggressive style of play is the most lucrative because you will win more money and more pots. When you play aggressive you have two ways to win - the first is you win fair and square but the second, more importantly, is your opponents might just plain out fold.
As well as forcing yourself to play aggressive by only betting or folding, it makes you think about your game a lot more. All of a sudden, you aren't going in to pots with poor cards, you aren't going to the showdown with just a top pair and you aren't making as many mistakes. This is because you will naturally play better poker because you know you are going to amp up the stakes.
When there is more on the line you will play better. Even in the situations when you think 'oh I could just call to see the next card' dont do it. Stick to this counter-intuitive Holdem betting strategy and you will see dividends.
