Step 7: Beginner Strategy Summary

Posted on December 12th, 2006 in Step by Step Texas Holdem Poker Strategy for Beginners by blogger

The beginner strategy was designed with three criteria in mind:

  • Simplicity
  • Minimize Risk
  • winning Texas Holdem Poker strategy

It works well at the lowest limit tables because there are lots of beginners that make lots of mistakes playing at those limits. As you move up to bigger tables, however, the percentage of weak opponents will decrease. So you must clean up the flaws of the beginner strategy in order to survive and advance.

DO NOT try to use the beginner strategy at the higher limit tables!

Once you are firmilar with the 5 Rules in Step 5, you will want to try playing on two tables at once. Then try 3, and then 4.
I have three 21″ monitors and play up to 12 tables at once. (Multiple softwares).
If you can win $1 per hour/table, playing 4 tables will mean you can win $4 per hour.

Here are some photos of professional online player 3 and 4 monitor setups.

Step 4: Table Selection, Sitting In, and Posting Big Blind

Posted on December 9th, 2006 in Step by Step Texas Holdem Poker Strategy for Beginners by blogger

Key Points:

  1. Select ONLY full tables with good numbers (Av.Pot > 20x big blind, Plrs/Flop > 40%).
  2. Sit in with 20x Big Blind.
  3. Post Blinds ONLY when tables are full. Otherwise, sit out for that round.

  • Table Selection:
    1. Click on the Mini(<$1) Subcategory.
    2. Scroll down to the $0.05/$0.10 NL 10-player tables.
    3. Select tables with HIGH Av.Pot Numbers and HIGH Plrs/Flop Percentages.
      • HIGHER numbers = WEAKER opponents
      • At this limit, we recommend following a minimum table selection requirement of $4 and 40%
    4. Complete sit-in process as discussed in Step 3.

  • Sit In
    1. As discussed in Step 3, sit in with 20x Big Blind. Since the Big Blind is $0.10, sit in with $2.
      • $0.10 x 20 = $2.00
    2. Only POST ($0.10) during the Big Blind. Otherwise, WAIT. - DO NOT POST ($0.10).
    3. Post Big Blind ONLY when there are at least 9 other active players.

  • Posting Big Blind
    1. Post Big Blind when the Dealer Button is two seats counterclockwise to your position.

  • First, select a “Play0.50/1″ Table with 10/10 Players and NL (no limit).
  • Click on the WAITING LIST button, and hit OK when the pop-up appears.

  • Take a seat when it becomes available. Set Amount to 20.

    • Check all FOUR boxes and select either SMALL or MINI VIEW.
  • Now you are ready to practice.
    • When it is your turn to act, you can either choose to FOLD your hand, CALL/CHECK a bet, or Raise/Re-Raisethe pot.
    • When raising, you can either type in an exact amount (currently 22.50 on the image shown above) or drag the bar to the desired amount, followed by clicking the RAISE button.
    • When going ALL-IN, drag the bar all the way to the right. Remember, you need to click the RAISE button AFTER dragging the bar.

Play until you feel comfortable with the mechanics of online Texas Holdem poker.

Step 2: Funding Texas Holdem Poker Account - Register E-wallet

Posted on December 9th, 2006 in Step by Step Texas Holdem Poker Strategy for Beginners by blogger

You need to open a free E-wallet account so you can deposit and withdraw money from the poker rooms. The E-wallet account basically offers the same service as PayPal, except that they accept online poker room transactions. Choose an E-wallet account provider that works with the most poker rooms.

We recommend using Neteller for all your poker deposits and withdrawals. They have a very stringent security requirement. You are pretty safe with them.

The service is free, and once you have the account established, you will not have to go through this process again, even if you are signing up for different Texas Holdem poker rooms. Once your E-wallet is actived: Transfer money from your Bank Account to your E-wallet Account.

Once the funds have cleared (3-5 business days), transfer money from your E-wallet Account to your Texas Holdem Poker Room Account.
