How to be good at Texas hold'em or less horrible: A beginner's guide
A beginner's guide to Texas hold 'em.
It's not surprising that, despite our national lockdown, online gambling has seen an increase of 43% and 255% in new players in the past month. I'm one among the rookies and my game of Texas hold'em. I joined Pokerstars with a few friends to play poker. Some were beginners like me and others were experienced players who had played poker professionally. Because I was familiar with the rules of hold'em, it didn't feel like it was a new game to me. Despite being only five games in length, I lost several times during the first few weeks of quarantine. . . um . . . Fake dollars per unit, I found myself down to almost 40 . . Fake . . dollars. Although it wasn't more expensive than a dinner out or a couple movies, it was still frustrating. Although I consider myself to be a smart man, it was hard for me to admit that my performance was poor. There was no way around it. I quit the job after a particularly terrible performance one night.
One problem: as bad as I was, it intrigued me. It was maddening that I couldn’t get it right. I refused to believe it was too difficult or too stupid. Since I knew a couple of very talented poker players, I decided to ask them tips. I also watched their play closely. Within a matter of minutes, I was able to have a series if revelations that totally changed my view on the game. Even more important, it transformed my performance.
I am going to pretend after a month that I'm a master at holding 'em. I'm not. But, I'm now a decent player. I went from being down $40 (fake), up $63(fake), and that was against the exact same group of players. I was able to win a few tournaments and finish second or third in others. This made it four weeks before I realized that I had a decent chance of winning or close to winning each round. As long as my emotions and impulses were under control, this gave me confidence in my ability to play against nine other players. It was even more satisfying to realize that I had finally grasped the game with all its nuances.
