Poker Overview

Poker is a game which involves luck and skill. If you take a unique tournament, that's a bit of skill with some good luck for the first positions. But, over a more larger timeframe (say, 100 tournaments) the skill becames very important. I'm talking about the most played version: No-Limit Texas Hold'em.

I'm currently reading this book:
Harrington On Hold'em (Volume 1; Strategic Play) (Dan Harrington - 1880685337)

Harrington has a heavy background on poker, he has been seen in televised poker tournaments and once you enter the poker articles you'll see him being named.
Someone told me you can go to http://thepiratebay.org/ and download it, you are breaking the copy-rights but if you do because you want to start reading quickly, go ahed, just buy a printed copy later. It's one of those CLASSIC books, in these case about poker.

Learning to play poker well is difficult, but in no way impossible.

And as Harrington puts it "be thankfull it's tough to learn, that way you will be better rewarded". (paraphrased)

My posts as of now, are all for people who either: Don't have money, the money it has can't be easily funded, or just don't want to play with his own money.

Ok, then, play freerolls! They are tournaments, for which you don't pay to play but have money prizes.
Of course, those will be the hardest tournaments to win and it's a very good starting way. Play as often as you like, there are a lot of freerolls in different hours. But don't only play, read and apply what you've learnt.
That's why I suggested that book, read and play. If you don't read, you will keep not seeing things that are happening at the table, there's a lot of information there and that will change and improve your play.
Of course, don't just read, the best is to apply your aquired skill.

I'll post new stuff on poker this days.

Wish you gain skills. You'll never lose them.
