Mental Preparation & Hand

I hope that you went over our last lesson and is now ready to improve the Skills you need in order to WIN! As we proceed, we will prepare you mentally and give you pointers on your hand selection.


The Game has begun. You have received your cards and now it's time to make your hand selection. This is the most critical part of your game, as this will determine your game outcome.


When making this decision do not think only of the highest overall winning combination: instead, use your cards to assist in deciding your highest valued hand using the most practical winning combination. I find it necessary to point out that Bluffing and Semi-Bluffing also pays a vital role in Poker but we will discuss this further in our next lesson.


We have reached the end of this week's session. For lesson 3, be sure to come back next week and remember to always keep abreast on the Games Theory. Exchange new information with players, and read Poker related literature, it helps!
