Sven’s Tight Poker Tips

When you play poker, you play against players wearing sunglasses, hoodies, or faces seemingly devoid of all the emotions you can think of. Are you having a hard time reading these opponents? Or maybe you think you are giving away a lot about your game? Poker players need to constantly and consistently try to learn about poker tells.

Poker tells are audible or visual clues given out by players and these behavioural clues give you a clue of how they will play their cards. You can classify poker tells as those you will see, you will hear, and also can based them on the betting patterns of your opponent.

Poker players will somehow giveaway a clue if they have strong hands or weak hands. These poker tells are instant and subconscious most of the time. Most player who are new to the game cannot control these clues. Be curious with how opponents use their hands, their eyes, breathing, and other gestures.

How to control poker tells

You really can try to control giving away your real intention by avoiding the obvious things like excessive talking, re-checking your cards whenever you hit a set, or warning other players that you have a great hand.

Try to standardize your movement. Make a routine movement when you bet and how you bring those chips to the middle of the table. Make your movements similar to each other all the time to conceal any clue about your cards and your real intention. Be consistent and you will no thave so much give away poker tells.

Be conscious with how you speak on the poker table and how you breathe when you see a good card or a bad card.

Also watch your eye movements (no pun intended). Most players will check the chips when they make a hand or maybe look at their opponents. Bluffing players will often avoid eye contact.

Study very well how you can standardize your betting. Take the same pace when you bet or call raises. Do not act too quickly but do not be too slow. Also be wary of being too excited and betting really big when you raise preflop.

Being robot like when playing is really a good way to conceal your poker tells. And that takes some practice.

Professionalism is praised and appreciated in every sphere of life. So why not be professional when playing a game of poker too. It is imperative to know that poker is a game of gambling and has a separate lingo which players use over the table, for instance the lingo “tapped out” means that you have lost all the money. The game of poker is played with a deck of 52 cards and features 4 suits namely diamond, club, spades, and hearts.

While playing on a poker table every player has his/her different sign language to describe their partner the ‘hand’ on which they are playing. Hand basically means the cards which that player holds during the game. Right after the deal one declares his combination as “ace low” or “ace high” depending upon the number of aces you got after the deal. An “ace full” means that you have a full house containing of aces.

Joe Hachem would never minraise there unless he had it. Plus, why did that guy smoothcall pre-flop? I know he’s scared to go out on the last hand — but his play it to re-raise hard there and take that hand down — no way AK would have pushed either for the same reason. Pocket Queens should have won a small pot there, that’s it.

He just gets punished for his bad play pre-flop, that’s it. Good thing for him he didn’t push on the flop, that would’ve been the TRUE killer play.

A pair of aces may be the strongest hand in poker but there is more to poker that you need to know. You have to be familiar with the worst hands that are most likely always folding hands.

Knowing which hands to play and which hands to fold will help you not to be tagged as a donkey on the table.

Here are some of the worst hands in poker:

2-7

This is the worst that there can be in Texas Hold’em. Sometimes it is known as the hammer for those who play online poker. These two cards cannot make a straight with about four cards in between. Do not ever ever play Seven Deuce, even with a bounty – it’ll lose you money!

LOL if he was making that much money playing poker he’s get liposuction and a decent shirt, right?

(oh and by the way, it’s PREMIUM hands, not PREMIUN hands, fatso!)

My site is so TIGHT, and so is my poker. I’m not the kind of guy to call a re-raise with Jack Seven Off Suit because I think I can flop the second nut straight — I’m the kind of guy to hold the Aces when you’re in there with your King Queen, flopping top pair and going broke against me.

I don’t mind folding 30 hands if in hand number 31 we get our stacks in with Sven (that’s me ) being a 7 to 1 favorite. That’s why I’m a professional playing medium-limit poker, and you’ve been spewing ever since you first sat down at a poker table.

On this site, I’ll be preaching my game. Not because I want to teach everyone — but because I want to teach those WILLING to learn. That’s it basicly. If you’re not ready to fold Ace Jack under the gun – don’t bookmark this site. If you’re ready to make a couple million playing poker — make sure you do!
