Friday, June 27, 2008 How to start playing seriously Shorthanded NLHE Cash Game Online Many people often ask us how to start playing online poker seriously. The answer is complex and diverse, and also can not ever fail the specifications of each individual. You can, however, list some reasoning and valid for all elements, which are scattered here and there on the Internet have already appeared, but never in a cohesive and comprehensive. Without questi elementi, in parte o del tutto, è difficile approcciare seriamente il gioco e quindi sviluppare quei risultati che poi giustificano un impegno costante. 1. Identificazione del sito su cui giocare La rete è invasa da centinaia di possibilità fra loro concorrenti per giocare a poker. E' impossibile definirne una come la "migliore" in assoluto, perchè ogni poker room ha caratteristiche specifiche che la differenziano dalle altre. Per esempio Pokerstars e Fulltiltpoker sono decisamente le migliori per l'offerta di tornei giocabili, sia come varietà sia come struttura dei blind. Esse invece sono da sconsigliarsi per il cashgame in generale in quanto il livello medio dei giocatori, anche in conseguenza del fatto che sono famose e ben gestite, è average higher than in other places, at least with regard to the average level of cash or more (2 / 4 NLHE +). But there are some guidelines to assess the place in which to play from which one can not ignore: a. The software used and the graphics should at least be acceptable. It 'difficult if not impossible to devote many hours a month to your game if you are not satisfied with the graphics + and basic functionality of the software used. This is obviously a subjective parameter, but it is important to keep this b. The poker room has to offer a variety of game to the desired level acceptable. How to say even after one of the key elements of the professional online is multitabling. Non è pensabile giocare in una poker room dove per qualunque motivo agli orari in cui si desidera giocare non ci sono ALMENO 6 tavoli aperti del livello a cui ci si è stabiliti. Questo sia per evitare di incontrare sempre e solo gli stessi regular, sia per poter fare table selection quando possibile (evitando i tavoli dove non è presente nessun fish), sia per giustificare un ricambio regolare dei propri avversari che in genere significa anche un livello medio non ottimale della loro abilità. c. L'offerta in termini di promozioni, bonus vari e rakeback deve essere in linea con il mercato o superiore. E' cruciale per il professionista ricavare EV in ogni sua scelta di gioco, e non si può giocare a cash senza un rakeback decente (almeno 30%). Ogni bonus and promotion than the pure rakeback accounts to be examined carefully by hand to put it into ev (for example, a freeroll with 600 participants from $ 10k in prize money was $ 16 EV) in order to determine the exact amount of money received back. d. Finally, it is also a major concern for the possibility of using an automatic personal database for the study of their game (see below). Some very new or smaller sites may not be supported by such software, which makes it impossible for serious play by a professional. 2. Using software to support their game, we recommend all players who try to become professionals to use PokerTracker online (even PokerOffice is discrete but we believe tracker higher). In addition to pay and download the code to unlock the full functionality is absolutely essential to learn to use to perfection, to reanalyze their own choices, see graphs of their results and learning more about the choices and the play of opponents. There is also a supplement to PokerTracker, called pokeracehud is also of paramount importance. It allows you to see the most important statistics for each player at the table in time directed by the nicknames of their opponents. E 'at a glance can then also playing 6 or 8 tables at once to know if our opponents are tight or loose, aggressive or passive, as well as seeing their other trends especially on the flop (% Of cbet and% fold our cbet). All professionals know that, except one, use this software regularly and successfully. 3. Bankroll Management and Cashout As you have read a multitude of times, managing your bankroll is critical. There are many players who have the skills to be the dominant online but are not due to mismanagement of their money, which can result from other types of negative EV bets (blackjack, roulette, slots and various online) or simply from playing poker at a high level. The guidelines that we suggest are the 30 buyin for the minimum level at which you play if you are not going to do but just regular cashout di far crescere il proprio denaro per passare a livelli più alti velocemente (può essere il caso dei primi mesi di un giocatore online); oppure i 50 buyin stabili nel caso si intenda cashare out il 60% o + del proprio profitto mensile medio. E' assolutamente indispensabile non seminare il proprio roll in rivoli inutili soprattutto quando le cose vanno bene, perchè ogni $ è importante per parare il colpo quando si è in un periodo di prolungata varianza negativa (SFIGA). E' anche vero in generale che più si sale di livello più buyin in media sono necessari in quanto la propria win rate scende mentre la varianza sale, ed è in generale più difficile proteggere il proprio bankroll. Quindi se 50 buyin sono adeguati per giocare peace with the 1 / 2 6 or 8 tables at once 40k hands per month and cash out with regularity, it would be best to have at least 60 to do the same at 3 / 6. 4. Discipline and emotional management There is no excuse. There can not be if you want to work seriously. Any kind of unruly behavior, whether the play had the highest or otherwise play because of adverse events to the table is always categorically denied. If you have serious problems in the subject to that discipline is better then not to play. It is unthinkable for a serious professional player being influenced by events at the table as it is known to all as poker is a game with very high variance. E 'acceptable and understand the occasional outburst of frustration, but it should not coincide with different choices of play. E 'attidirittura negative and deteriorating even preferable, to suffer adverse emotional effects in his life if at least back to the table when you do it with full consciousness of the one true rule of poker: professional make choices when they are considered to EV positive and always think only to the long term. If, however, then the negative emotional effects on their personal lives are strong and inevitable is better not to play. The resistance of emotional discipline are combined with the features from which one can not ignore. It 's easy, or at least not impossible to learn to make different choices with 52 maps red and black in his hand, but is much more difficult to change the way they react to adversity, which are more common in poker than anyone of you could ever imagine .... seriously. REPEAT: Do not start playing seriously if you can not already be able to manage when things go wrong, why go wrong, will get worse, perhaps even before peggioranno improve. The poker gods will look and usually there are friends, especially if you are able. 5. Frequency of game you play a lot. So you can really only playing in a few months to know the level to which you and overcome periods of negative variance. It 'also after 100k + or hands that can be observed with posting the statistics on your database to detect mistakes and fix them in 100k hands later. Multitable is essential. Learn and do it well without losing the value is even more so. All Multitable professionals, and in most cases they do it with 6 or more tables, but 4 is the minimum. Add to this the number of hours: if you want to play online poker seriously you must play at least 100 hours per month. This translates to 40k hands if you play 4 or 5 tables in it 60k if you play on average 6 to 8. With experience comes the ease of execution of the choices after about 250-300k hands will be more repetitive and all in all pretty automatic. SUMMARY OF KEY ELEMENTS: Finding a suitable site to your needs Learn how to use good software to support online play with discipline and attention to manage your bankroll without ever leaving the lines Make sure you have the emotional characteristics suited to the game, otherwise do not play play many tables, many hours a day ... When and if you are able to apply all this bearing the enormous emotional pressures produced by the game, you will have economic performance unmatched by the majority of jobs available to the individual ordinary. Good luck at the tables (you'll need it).
