subject: Understanding Texas Holdem Poker - The Best Poker Book [print this page] Finding a great Texas Hold Em Poker book doesn't have to be hard. I'll explain to you what to look for so you can find the best Texas Hold Em Poker Book. There are many Texas Hold Em Poker Book's available both in book stores and on the internet. The biggest, and arguably the best, retailer of books online is the one and only amazon.com. Are you playing for fun or to make money? Usually it's both, but the fun can get sucked right out of the game if you never end up in the money. "Double or Nothing" tables have changed the way you play Texas Holdem online. Since the object at a double or nothing table is not so much how to play your cards, but more of money management, I won't go into how to play any particular hand. Instead I'll concentrate on how to handle your betting.
First, let's look at the round of betting before the flop. If you are in an early position it's best to fold a hand, even if you think it's playable. In later positions how you bet will depend on what happens in front of you. If someone bets ahead of you and you have a good hand, just call them, as long as it's not more than three times the big blind. Second, if no one has bet before you, bet three times the big blind. Chances are everyone behind you will fold or simply call. Never just call the big blind and let him get into the hand by checking. Force him to make a decision. The big blind probably won't have a hand and will fold to your bet.
It doesn't matter how good the Texas Hold Em Book you are reading is, your not going to get you good at poker just by reading. If you want to become good at poker, presumably this is why you are reading books, you really have to practice. I'm not denying, I'm even agreeing that books are extremely helpful if you want to learn poker, understand the rules, learn strategy and tips, learn about odds and whatnot. In fact, I learned most of technical stuff I know from books, but seriously you need to take all that info and then put it to use in a game. After the flop, keep pushing. Make everyone think that your great hand before the flop just turned into a monster. If they didn't hit on the flop, they will give it up to you, but if you slow down they might stay in with a draw. Don't give them the opportunity to get any free cards.
The most important thing to remember at a double or nothing table is that you just need to stay in the game and not to take any unnecessary chances. Get into the hand as cheaply as you can and then get aggressive. You don't have to win any big pots or take anyone else out yourself. Just stay in the game and let the other players take the risks to push people out of the game.
