Odds and Pot odds

With all types of poker odds are very important, without a firm understanding of them you have little chance of making any money.

In Holdem half of it is deciding which hands to fold pre flop,which to raise and which to call. What hands exactly depends on a number of factors including the number of players and the tightness of the table.

Pot odds is the chance you have of winning combined with the profit if successful and loss if not successful. The idea is to call/raise if you are getting "pot odds"

For instance, if the call is $5 with the pot at $50 with your chance of winning at 25% it makes good sense to call, you probably wont win this time(75%chance of loss) but in the long run you will be up (One hundred pots the same as this you will lose your $5 seventy five times -$375 but win the $50 the other twenty five times +$1250; making a huge $875 in the long run). Because there are bets every stage of the game you need to make these pot odd decisions every time- the difficult part is working out your expected change of winning. Its not as hard as it seams and with a little help and practice you will get the hang of it.

Good Luck.

Things to have in mind....

There are several things you can do to avoid being overlaped by better players and they are all pretty simple. The only thing it requires is a little effort.

1. Pay attention to the table at all times

Pay attention to what’s going on at the table even when you’re not playing hands. If you’re playing multiple tables at a time, this is difficult but not impossible. Arrange and resize the tables on your monitor(s) so that they are tiled and you can see all tables at all times. Whenever there’s a showdown, check the hand histories. Take notes on your opponents. Basically, stay alert at the tables.

2. Save your hand histories

Save your hand histories and review the hands that gave you the most trouble. Take a look at the big pots you played in your last session and analyze you and your opponents’ play on each street. Find a poker forum and post these hand histories for discussion with other poker players.

3. Stay up to date with poker strategy

Nobody will ever know everything there is to know about poker. That’s just fine with me, because it means there’s no limit to the pure knowledge you can acquire during your poker career. Read poker strategy books, check out strategy websites / poker forums and watch the top high stakes players in action. You don’t need to be the best player in the world; you only need to be better than the people at your table.

PKR - 3D Poker

The goal of PKR is simple: advance the visual experience of online poker. This site does provide a significant improvement in terms of realistic 3-D software and the ability to actually create a personality at the table. Players can choose their facial structure, hair style, clothing, and other external visuals of their avatar. At the table, you can clap your hands, cry over a bad beat, or egg your opponents into a call. You can move the camera around the table at will and the graphics really are extremely detailed.

PKR has drawn some criticism for not being friendly to hardcore multi-table taskmasters and my response to that is usually, “So what?” As I always stress to new players, you need to examine your priorities before choosing an online poker site. If you don’t need to tile 4 tables around your screen and play 300 hands per hour but do value things like visual experience, realism, and creating a customizable character, PKR should be one of your top considerations.

The avatars are fully customizable and you choose every aspect including voice, facial features, hair style, clothes, shoes, hats, sunglasses, football shirts, tattoos, body piercing, headphones and so much more. You can also use your PKR points to purchase bonus clothing and accessories.

At the table you can use the Emote Control system to cry, clap and express other emotions and as you play and gain points you can also learn chip tricks. No matter what experience you have with your poker game, PKR can help with their Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced poker school. They will offer you tips and in-depth analysis of the game at each level so you can hopefully take your game even higher.

PKR poker offers a fantastic first time deposit bonus. Just pick one of the bonuses below and you will be sure that you are receiving the biggest PKR bonus on the market today.
