Simple things that are forgotten

Correct understanding of bankroll management:

The first thing to understand as early as possible: in poker happen good days, when you win, and bad days when you lose. No, it's not your personal curse. Lost pursue all: professionals and beginners. That is why anyone regularly play poker player needs a bankroll that is money that are allocated specifically for the game and will not be spent for other purposes.

Even if you lose part of your bankroll - do not despair. It is likely that you are in a losing streak, but that's no reason to throw the game. For failures always come days when you are lucky. Players call these periods “streak." They are constant companions in the game, and the most common culprit probabilities. But this is not a reason to lose your head, trying to make up for the failure. After all cards are the same, and if you know, for example, that cast their bad hands are better than your opponents (often it is enough to just fold them and not get involved in the distribution of the border), then at some point the money out of their pockets perekochuyut in you.

Carefully about your bankroll and observe two simple rules:

Never try to recoup at higher rates for the current losses. This taboo that should never be broken. For example, on PokerStars, there is even a special functionality to lock yourself access to higher limits.

Do not try to get even, when it lose 5-6 buy-ins, in this state you cannot make the right decisions. Exit the game and analyze your hand off the table. Remember that to lose in poker is not scary. Scared of losing control.

Always place the self above all else, and even then the big loss will not interfere in your way. Even the most mediocre players eventually rose to the highest limits, just follow these simple rules. And many professionals lost all their money, engaging in games that were much more expensive than let their bankroll.

Mentality:

Poker - this is primarily a card game, so it’s always a place luck. The case can wrap even the most sophisticated and mathematically adjusted to draw a real disaster.

During the game, you do not just run into situations where your opponents will save lucky river card, despite their inept actions on earlier streets. At such times it will seem that you are playing it wrong.

Many novice players (and not just beginners) are too attached to the results of individual hands and tend to judge the correctness of their actions on the basis of one or two drawings that is fundamentally wrong approach to the game. In poker, you should focus not on the outcome of a particular distribution, but only on the correctness of their actions and profitability in the long term (at a distance). Luck plays too large a role in one hand, but after thousands of hands played on the result it begins to affect your strategy. No need to adjust their actions under the "mood of luck.”

For each hand must stand clear plan of action, but not hope for good luck or flop - this is the mentality of a successful player. Therefore, if you do not know how you will play its cards if the flop does not fit or a draw will be very difficult , simply reset the card in a pass as soon as possible . This is a sure way to save a lot of money.

And the last. Never be surprised that you, or a combination of strong opponents gathered - Street or quads - as someone twice stopped pocket aces. Every minute, people around the world play thousands of hands, and therefore the probability of occurrence of any event actually grown significantly.

Try indifferent to the random component of poker, because it is from you does not depend, but can significantly affect the emotional state and get to make mistakes. If you feel that something at the table begins to annoy you, or cannot let go of the insulting hand - close all the tables and take a break, do not let emotions control your game!

Wage Rates:

Important skill in poker is to determine the correct size of the rate for each situation. The vast majority of players are constantly mistaken in this seemingly simple techniques. That's why they win less than might as well lose more. Consider a very simple way to avoid such problems.

The first thing to remember: any bid must be made based on the size of the bank and not on the basis of representations of hand strength or amount already invested in the distribution of money. There are several reasons:

It is necessary to mask the arm strength in the eyes of your opponent. If put differently with different hands, opponents will "read" you like an open book. Therefore small bets with marginal hands will never be a good solution.

Need not give opponents a good price on a profitable call with unprepared hands (draw) - here small rates can work against you.

With strong hands need to inflate the bank. On the bluffs also need to put much, otherwise bid will not frighten opponents, and he did not throw off his hand.

Until you are familiar with the intricacies, the best guide will be the following rules:

If you bet on the flop, turn or river, it should be 2/ 3 or 3/4 the size of the pot. For example, if the pot on the flop are already $ 10, you need to put $ 6.5 - $ 7.

If you are going to raise (or re-raise) on the flop, turn or river, it should be 3-3.5 size bet (or raise) the opponent.

This rule applies to any situation on the flop, turn or river.
