A fundamental part of hold’em poker is understanding your opponents. So much of hold’em poker is less about the cards and more about the actions taken by players that it could be argued that your table image is more important overall than your actual cards from hand to hand.

This is because the way your opponents interpret your actions will determine how they will play against you in the hand. The more hands you play, the more of a character sketch good players will make of you. You have to both be aware of this when you’re acting in each hand and make your own character sketches (in your head, on paper, or some online poker rooms have note taking built in) of your opponents as you play… @

There is an unlimited supply of bad players to win from and more are added daily. All you have to do is to have a strategy and some tools. Now maybe “preying on new players” is strong language, but what you have to keep in mind is that these players will lose to somebody and that while they are losing they are getting an education. And to be honest if you dive in to a financial transaction without any real knowledge of what you’re doing, other than what you have seen on TV then you have to expect to pay for your education. There are an unlimited number of players and more come online everyday and the added bonus is that nobody cares if you are winning. No casino heavy looking over your shoulder, no bookmaker cutting your bets. The casino takes a rake from everything you win and all they care about is that you play, they want you playing at their tables. So how do you get some of this action. Well you need to make sure that you aren?t one of the TV poker suckers. You need an education. Your first step to earning regular poker income is to join a poker room and spend a little time familiarising yourself with the set up, get familiar with the software, watch some games and play some free games… @
