The 5 P's of Poker
Today I will tell you the 5 Important P's pf poker. They are Patience, Perseverance, Psychology, Position, and Practice. What makes these words important is what they really mean in the game of poker. This I will explain below.
Patience
-
In
the game of poker you must have patience to win. You have to wait for good
hands to play, If you don’t have patience and you play every single hand
you can be assured that you will not be a winning player. You need to wait
for good hands, wait and make the right moves, and wait to make the right
bets.
Perseverance
-
This
is very important in poker. You cannot give up, and you must always play
your best game. If you hit a loosing streak and get beat with bad cards
or bad play you cannot give in and start playing bad hands and making bad
moves. Do not give in to tilt.
Psychology
-
Poker
is a people game played with cards, not a card game played with people.
You must always be thinking about the other players. How have they played
in the past? Why would they make that bet? What do they think I have? Always
try to get inside the other players head, try and put yourself in their
position to figure out what they have.
Position
-
Always
be aware of your position on the table. Be aware of other players positions.
You get to choose the cards you play and when you play them. In early position
only play very best hands. Is someone who acts after you raise almost every
hand? Maybe you need to play tighter with him on the table.
Practice
-
To
be a winning poker play you have to play....a lot. The more you play the
more experience you will have. You must also keep up on poker strategy.
Read poker books and then read them again.
