Poker Tips Overload: Play YOUR Game!
Don't fry your brain with more poker knowledge than you can handle -- just play the game!!
TIPPING POINT!
There’s a brilliant poker writer called Earl Burton, maybe the best in the world. In a recent article in the States he wrote an in-depth piece about Information Overload where he finds himself in a card game and every tip and strategy he’d ever seen, read or learned bombards his brain each time he tries to make a simple decision at the Hold’em table. Finally his head explodes, metaphorically, like a scene from the movie “Scanners”, presumably covering all the other players at the table with “Super System” strategies, and he was able to free the “instinctive” player within. His point is, as always, a good one. YOU have to be in charge of your game. Driving instructors can teach you so much but if the day arrives when there are two feet on the gas pedal instead of just yours, you’re going to hit a brick wall. It’s great to absorb tips and strategies from the good and the great but once absorbed they mustn’t act as a block to the flow of your natural game. Online poker in particular is often a brutally fast and furious affair and if you hesitate every move to consult your mental software you’ll be a hare (without a wallet) frozen in the headlights.
A lot of what we learn from strategies falls outside our natural playing style and personalities. Just because you’ve got a belt full of bullets doesn’t mean you have to become the Terminator. Select the single shot tips that fit with your style. Some folks just aren’t set up emotionally to bluff other people every half hour. Others lie 24/7 and wouldn’t know how to demonstrate the Truth if they could understand the concept. Be who you are and use those poker tips that harmonise with your personality.
POKER TIP OF THE DAY
The best poker tips tend to be simple and they usually come from the best players. John Juanda has racked up $4,500,000 in recent years and is renowned as one of the world’s top three tournament players. His tip is never to move up a notch until you are able to dominate the level at which you are playing. Rushing up the “blinds scale” before you’ve matured can have a crushing effect. John says,
“We all think we’re better than we really are.” His advice is,
“If you’re beating the game consistently and you’re winning eighty per cent of the time, then you can move on.” This concept will not bombard your brain. It’s simple. Apply it.
