Beginners to this
game should make a point of starting at the bottom because no self-respecting
poker player will stop a beginner from losing his money in a tough game. Think
of the saying "..there's one born every minute ....
and two to take them!" whenever you are asked to play in a game of
poker.
Starting is the most difficult thing. You should try asking
friends and see if there is enough interest to get a
home game going and
then learn the basic games. Keep in mind that there is no way to play poker
other than for money and so be prepared for that. Beginners should keep stakes
low yet be respectful of the meaning of the money. If the cash sums are treated
as insignificant there will be little incentive to improve skill in the
game.
Some casinos are currently running beginners nights so that
inexperienced players can compete in tournaments for low entry fees and see
what is required to develop their game. Some may run limit games for the
players to hone their skills in the cash games as well. Check out the section
on
Card Rooms for details or
Card
Room List for where they are.
The easiest way to learn the most
popular game, Texas Hold'em, is to sign up to one of the
safe online poker sites and start playing either
free tournaments or low buy-in tournaments. The best of these will be
short-handed, or tournaments with a limited number of players. This gives you
the chance to experience both multi-table events and single table, or final
table, which is another skill level altogether.
Which ever you choose,
best of luck and don't hesitate to ask us questions should you need
help.
