NEXT: The Power of Folding |
| I Always Fold |
If you have come to believe that you are willing to learn poker from scratch, to build your game from the ground up and forget everything you "think" you know, then let's get started.
The first, most basic, skill in poker is folding. If you said, "no duh, yea I know that" then go back and read step 1... Done? OK, let's continue.
Folding is also the most overlooked skill by the majority of players. They can't fold. They won't fold. They find reasons to play when they should be finding reasons to fold. They think and then re-think, they try to read minds, they make "reads" to help them stay in a hand, they play pure position plays and know they can steal pots after the flop with any two cards. They think folding will make them look weak in the eyes of their opponents. It deflates their ego. They think they are poker geniuses. They are actually action junkies. These guys are going to be your new best friends, because they are going to make your mortgage payments for you.
The main reason people don't fold is because they want to play. They see each poker "session" as a thing that has a start and a finish. If they are going to play for 1 hour then they want to play some hands during that hour. YOU, on the other hand, are going to understand that your poker career is One Big Never Ending Poker Session. If you sit down to play for an hour and you don't have any situations, cards and scenarios where you should play, then you won't play. You will fold for an hour, turn off the computer and know you did your job!! If you want to play a game for fun, play Monopoly. If you want to play performance poker then get a pen.
