The popularity of poker is increasing worldwide day by day.

The popularity of poker is increasing worldwide day by day. It is a fast track to riches and glory. We can improve playing poker efficiently by sharing some ideas. One of the ideas is to read the books based on Poker. We must go back and re-read chapters in books we have finished before as repetition helps in attaining perfection. If there’s a chapter or a section that we have trouble understanding, we can ask a friend about it or post on the forums. Arguing and discussing will definitely help us understand it better. If something doesn’t feel right, we can take the time to figure out why it doesn’t.

But reading, while practically a necessity to become a good player is only a small part of how we’ll spend our time with poker. Our long hours will be spent at the table, playing hand after hand. The more we learn here, the better that goes without saying. There are many things we can do and ultimately have to figure out that works for us. We should take conscious decisions. When we make a conscious decision that doesn’t sound right and we change our decision because of it, we’ve really accomplished something. We should think through non-trivial decisions. Sure, often enough the call may be the right decision, but when we find ourselves wondering what the proper action will be, we must take some time to think through the hand.

We must make a mental note of difficult situations, so we can review them later. If we’re playing online, we should look up the hand history and review it when we’re done playing. Reviewing and analyzing hands away from the table is a very powerful tool for learning, but we should already know that. Very often, we’ll get check raised on the turn and decide to call anyway. Turns out the guy was overvaluing his middle pair and our pocket kings held up, and so we just shrug and move on. But if we had to think about it at the time, it’s probably worth reviewing later on. Something in our mind told us that what he did was out of the ordinary, and we would do well to check up on things like that.

We don’t know if there are players who are so skilled and experienced that they have very little left to learn about playing poker, but we think that we are generally correct in saying that mastering this game is a never-ending pursuit. We can always become better. How much effort we’re willing to put into it determines how quickly we’ll advance. We can measure how many pages we’ve read, or how many hours we’ve spent analyzing our play, but we can’t gauge how much we’ve learned. This is why analytical reinforcement is so important. We can reinforce the good habits and plug the leaks that we get from bad habits. It’s a lot of work, but it’s very rewarding.
