The 5 P’s of Poker
Today you will learn the important 5 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.
-------Suggestion--------
Write or print out the 5 P's of poker. Keep them handy,
Post them up by the computer you play poker on. Before you
play read them and put meaning behind each word. By doing this
each time you play you will put yourself in a better mindset,
This should increase your poker winnings substantially.
