The Three Fastest Ways to Get an Edge in Poker
19 Jun 2013 11:51
Today's poker games are tougher to beat than ever, but there are three simple things most poker players fail to do. By taking advantage of these tips, you'll have a leg up on the people who don’t pay attention.
1. Online Poker Heads-Up Displays
If you are playing online poker and are not using a ‘Heads-Up Display’ (HUD) you're missing out on a wealth of statistical knowledge. A HUD is piece of technology that tracks your opponents' behaviour displaying it in real time, as a series of useful statistics. This allows you to tailor your game to exploit all the weaknesses in your opponents you can find. For example, you could use these little beauties to identify when a player is raising too frequently, thus allowing you to call or raise with a wider range of hands. It also allows you to track your own play, to make sure there are no holes in your game. Hold’em Manager and Poker Tracker are the two most common tracking software that use HUDs.
2. Taking Notes with Your Mobile Device
HUDS are great when you're playing poker on the Internet, but when you're playing in the live setting it's much more difficult to track your opponents' moves. That's why more and more players are using mobile technology to help record all the important stats. In the past players relied on the humble pen and paper, but using an app on your iPad or iPhone will make it easier to record and use important information. It's a key skill to observe the other players, and making a point of recording specific actions will ensure you don't get distracted watching a television instead of your opponents.
3. Reviewing Your Sessions
Excelling at poker is all about gaining experience, but this doesn't have to restricted to your time at the felt. By spending time going over your sessions and analysing the info you or your tracking software has recorded, you'll be able to enormously improve your understanding of the game and how it's being played. Not only will you plug your own leaks while exploiting those of your opponents, you'll naturally be led to deeper-level thinking about strategy and gameplay. And the best part is, all it costs you is time.
So there you have it, three great ways to help you find an edge on your opponent. What legal ways of exploitation have you found useful?
