It gets pretty boring at a poker table some times, and when that boredom kicks in, you have to keep one thing in mind before you start chatting idly to the player next to you:

Always have a plan

Common sense?  Absolutely.  A rule that poker players forget 99% of the time?  You bet.

Here it is, the golden rule of poker, absolutely free of charge: whenever you decide to commit to an action in poker, make sure you know what you will do next.

This includes knowing your options based on whatever your opponent might do.  So, if you’re planning to bet the flop, be sure you know what you’re going to do if your opponent calls, and what you’ll do if he raises.

You should also know what your plan is for future streets.  Of course, you can’t always predict exactly what will happen, you can’t always plan for 100% of the events that will occur following your action –  but you can make sure you at least have a plan for the immediate reactions your opponent will have.

Have a plan and making decisions in poker will get insanely easier across the board.

How to play top pair multi-way

After raising preflop with a big ace in a limit game, you get several callers. The flop gives you top pair and everyone checks to you. Even though you probably have the best hand and can’t bet out the draws, you should bet. Someone with top pair but worse kicker might raise you and isolate

What Does it Mean When Players Show Cards?

When a player shows his hand to a friend or another player at the table, he’s most likely not bluffing. Occasionally, that player will expose his hand to a player who has yet to fold. The player who saw the cards now has more information that you and that’s an unfair advantage. When that happens, ask for the cards to be played face-up even though the hand is still being played.

Dealing With Obnoxious Players

You have to be careful when dealing with an obnoxious player. You can try to ignore them, but that might simply frustrate you more.

You can try to play their game but then there’s a good chance that you’ll simply end up being controlled by their intentions. The best thing to do is to have a clear head and think critically about why the player is behaving the way that they’re behaving. That should give you the ability to deal with them better and allow you to escape any traps they might be setting by playing the obnoxious bully character.

Earning Gifts With Rakeback

One of the biggest values poker players often overlook is getting the most out of the rake they pay.

By this point, most players know that they should be getting rakeback if they’re playing at a site. What some players, even savvy ones aren’t yet aware of is that they could be earning bonuses on top of their rakeback.

Take a site like RakeBackNation. Not only do they offer you top rates at all major rooms, but they also have a loyalty program that lets you earn gifts for your rake. For example, you can earn a free membership to BlueFire Poker by raking at any rooms RBN offers.

If you’re more into poker software, you could earn a Free Holdem Manager license just by raking. Remember, if you’re playing poker online, you are paying rake. You might as well get the most out of it.
