TIPS FOR SERIOUS PLAYERS
* Making Easy Money using Poker Notes
Not only are your online poker opponents anonymous, but you also tend to get more players coming and going at a quicker rate at online poker tables.
Player note sections are offered for free by many services such as Party Poker. You can jot down important information regarding opponents' playing styles, things like: Smart or stupid player, patient or quick to act, consistent betting patterns, tight or loose player, type of hands opponents play pre-flop or push all-in on, etc.
Not only does this practice keep you more attentive, it can also be of invaluable use when you're in the position of making a tough call or looking to make a move saving or making you big bucks.
* Stealing Knowledge from Players: Hand Histories
-------------------------------------------------
The ability to see an opponents hand is the ultimate source of information, especially when coupled with your notes. The trouble is you only see these cards when a hand goes through to the river. What about all those cards that were mucked after the bettor failed to get a caller? Was it a bluff or did they have it?
Party Poker has a feature allowing you to receive hand histories. All you have to do is click on the hand number and request an email be sent to you. You can receive it within minutes giving you an edge that nobody else at the table gets. This can help you put a read on every player at the table, allowing you to TAKE DOWN MONSTER POTS.
* The Serious Advantage of Big Buy-Ins
--------------------------------------
Most poker resources suggest that you sit down at a given table with at least 20x the big blind (bb).
Example: $3/$6 no limit table. BB is $3, so you should sit with a bare minimum of 20 x $3, or $60.
We'd suggest sitting down with anywhere from 50x - 100x the bb for a couple of reasons. Sitting down with a 100x the bb ($300 in our above example) will generally make you one of the big stacks at the table. People won't be as quick to mess around with someone demonstrating a willingness to gamble. More important than the intimidation factor is the "nuts" factor.
Imagine picking up the "nuts" and only having enough money left to double the bb. This happens all the time and is incredibly frustrating. Don't let it happen to you. When you have the "nuts," you want to be involved with the betting from start to finish. This way you can maximize your winnings.
