How To Master Low Limit Texas Holdem, Part 2 The Online Poker Game
By Search EzineArticles.com
I continue my articles about learning to master online poker at low limit stakes. In the last article I wrote about the chance of winning in a casino. So you can ask why poker is different
In online poker you don’t play against the casino, you play against other players!
That’s why your chance of winning (not losing) is so different than in the case of casino games.
Some additional thoughts: Of course the casino has its revenue on this game too, but this is not a prize rather a fix or percentage fee. You can imagine this fee like a hosting fee for the game. Live casinos used to collect hourly fees but on the internet there is the so-called “rake”. It means that at the end of every hand the casino gets some percentage of the prize (the pot).
Back to the point, the poker is not played against the casino it is played against other players. That’s why there is no system determined in advance against which you cannot win, the chance of winning only depends on your game play and the playing style of your opponents.
So if you want to win you have to pay attention to 2 things:
- You have to play better and better.
- You have to play with weaker opponents.
