FREQUENTLY ASKED POKER QUESTIONS
Q: I’ve only been playing socially for a few months with my mates for very small beer money. I’m going to join a poker site. What’s the most important tip you can give me?
A: Before we get to the tip just remember that all the big sites are very user friendly and easy to navigate, so don’t let that put you off. The site will talk you through the whole procedure to get you started. I’d say the main thing you have to remember the moment you start playing for cash online is that you are playing the whole world, not your mates.
You will be very familiar with the kind of game your friends play and this sets up a kind of pattern that you will all have become adjusted to. When you suddenly find yourself playing a Chinaman, an American and worst of all, anyone from Scandinavia, it’ll shake your game up and you’ll need to make fast and furious adjustments. This is of course the beauty and the fun of online play. Why Scandinavians? Because in my experience, most of them are brilliant at this game. Must be something about their weather that keeps them indoors all the time with nothing to do but reach genius level at Texas Hold’em. Look out for anyone called Viking 666, Gnaw-Dick or Frosty Byte. You get the idea (Ikea?) Good luck!

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES
Q: As a reasonably bright young housewife what are my chances of making any kind of a profit from playing online poker for real cash? So far I’ve only dabbled in the play money games?
A: Play money games are great for teaching you the dynamics of poker but you won’t learn much about how players truly respond when real money is at stake. Just keep that in mind and start in the low limit games until you adjust to the more sensible style of play. In answer to your question let me tell you a little about a lady called Xuyen “Bad Girl” Pham. She hails from Vietnam where only foreigners are allowed to play in the casinos. When she came to Britain she started playing poker and gained freedom over her life which had previously been completely controlled by her parents. “Poker gave me power!” she’s fond of saying. Xuyen has a sweet face but is a ruthless player, hence her nickname “Bad Girl”. Can you make a profit playing poker? Well, Xuyen is now ranked eighth female player in the world and is sponsored by William Hill. Her profit so far in her short career is two hundred and twenty thousand pounds. Yep. You can do it but you may need to be “Bad”!
