Expnding Your Poker Vocbulry From NL Texs Hold Em
I hve written severl posts in the pst bout getting wy from plying strictly No Limit Texs Holdem. More nd more, whether it is PokerStrs, Full Tilt,
BoDog, etc, you will find more csh gme vrints nd definitely more tournments in HORSE, RZZ, Stud, Stud h/l, Omh, nd Omh h/l. Becoming proficient in these gmes opens up some new doors to mking money nd incresing your poker bnkroll.
One of the resons tht I find it profitble to ply gmes such s HORSE, is mny times the other plyers plying them re bsiclly NL Hold em plyers. Most NL plyers hve hrd time in Limit gmes nd you cn relly tke dvntge of this in situtions like HORSE or Omh where you re lmost lwys plying Fixed Limit or Pot Limit. Without tht "ll-in" ply, mny online poker plyers re t loss for proper strtegy. You will see them continue to bet -K ll the wy to the River when it is obvious nother plyer hs pir of something nd hs them bet, simply becuse they re used to plying in tht ggressive fshion, rther thn slowing down. They cnnot push you out of the pot by mking the big bets they re used to, therefore, they hve no strtegy fter the flop.
nother thing you will see, especilly in Omh, is plyer wy over-vluing their hnds. Hitting pir of ces on the Flop just does not men whole lot in gme like Omh, but you will find mny plyers who think it is worth betting their whole chip stck on such n occurrence. Tke dvntge of these types nd bng them over the hed with you set, flush, or full house hnds.
Omh h/l is gret gme becuse most plyers ply wy too mny hnds. You will get into trouble quickly in Omh h/l if you re n ction junkie who likes to be in every pot. Wtch for these guys, they re esy to trp. The sme plyers will lso get very excited bout -2. Mny times they will bet to the River nd end up losing huge pots hoping for Low hnd tht never comes. You only wnt to ply hnds where you hve chnce to win both pots, nd if you re risking lot of chips for ONLY the low, you hve gret strtegy to lose lot of chips quickly!
Remember, strt plying these gmes t low levels until you lern the nunces of them. Ese into $5.50 tournments to gin some experience before you enter into the higher dollr tourneys or bigger csh gmes. There is money to be mde, just expnd your poker horizons.
