Real Money Poker Tour
So I guess you may have played a bit of friendly poker but know you want to try out the real thing, into the real money poker game. There are two ways to play real money poker, either offline poker with real money or online poker with real money. I have to say that the two are the same game with some major differences. Real money Poker Offline vs. Real Money Poker online is similar in that it is the same game but offline you monitor more than just the cards, and the way the players play their chips. You monitor their body language, nervous twitches etc.
Important tips for playing offline are:
- Keeping a straight face (damn those annoying twitches)
- Control your breathing
- Wear dark glasses (because they hide your expressions and they look cool)
- Only look at your cards once
- Exercise Patience
Online Real Money Poker tips:
- Get a good chair, your going to be playing for a while
- Find the patience you never thought you had
- Get a descent size bank roll (make sure you don’t use your bread and water money)
- Make sure you have lots of time to play
The bottom line is that online poker is about patience. Knowing your cards, and being able to lay down cards if you don’t think you have the best hand or your not convinced about something. Real Money Poker is the same as ordinary fun poker; it’s a game of percentages. Online real money poker is just that, a game of percentages and a bit of luck. But the real money poker tours show us that the pros know how to make the plays and lay down when they have to. It’s the amateurs that go all in unnecessarily. Poker fatigue is a huge part of this. People get tired after a while and start acting irrationally. Going back and going home.
Poker is about the long haul especially with real money poker that requires you to wait out the bad hands so that you can capitalize on the good hands you get. But never forget that even an AA can get beaten.
