General Texas Holdem tips - Build an image and a unique style
The best image you can build for yourself
in Texas Holdem is that of a tight aggressive player. Not only because
it’s the best style there is, but because it allows you to take advantage
of many concepts like: bluffing, semi-bluffing, slow-playing, getting a
free card and others. Whereas if you are a loose player, you won’t get
the respect and the extra money from your opponents in such a situation.
However, even though I recommend
on reading Holdem books and content websites constantly, you should develop
your own style. Playing the Sklansky way or Dan Harington’s game won’t
work for you. If you try to imitate someone, you won’t be as good as they
are. Develop a style that fits your motives of playing: if you’ve come
to enjoy they game, you will play looser. If you are playing for money
you’ll have to play tighter. Adjust your style to the specific situation.
Most of the books describe a very tight game because these are the games
played by the pros. If you aren’t a pro, you’ve probably noticed that the
games you are playing are much looser. They have more ‘maniacs’ and ‘calling
stations’ than described in these books. Therefore, you have to adjust
your game. Loosen up a bit but stay tighter than most of the players at
your table. Remember that it is hard to bluff amateurs; they usually don’t
care what you have.

Another important thing is to vary
your game. Even though it’s important that you raise with a pair of aces
because that kind of hand doesn’t like many opponents, once in a while
just call with it. After showing that move you will be feared many times
when you just call with your drawable hands. Once in a while raise with
65 suited pre-flop even from an early position, and in general try not
to be predictable.
