Become a better player

Are you interested in becoming a better poker player? Understanding more about the odds of winning, pot odds and when to raise, call, fold or reraise?

Last week I joined PokerVT, a new virtual training online site that was started by poker pro Daniel Negreanu, to help other poker players improve their game.

I've mainly been focusing on the single table sit-n-go games and the strategies behind them. Just by watching a few videos and learning to understand more of where I was making crucial errors in my game has really turned my thought process on the game around.

the home poker game

So it's been about 2 months since I've been able to play in our regular poker game. It all started when I went to a local bowling alley where my hubby was having a company get together. I decided I was going to wear some heals with a new pair of jeans. Not a smart move. I got my heal caught in a crack in the sidewalk and down I went. Stuck my arm out to catch myself and broke it.

Anyway, instead of playing the poker game I've been watching the guys and trying to pick up a little more of their style and their tells. Now I've always been pretty competitive and usually end up in the money on these games but tonight I think I may have more of an edge since I had no vested interest in the outcome of the last few games and could concentrate purely on reaction of cards, bets and such.

So, tonight is the night that I will put my new found info to work and see if it helps me or hinders me!
