Go where the money is

Filed Under poker tips

play pokerWhen choosing a table to sit down at make sure you check the average pot before sitting down. Then when you’re actually sitting at the table continue to monitor the average pot. As time passes at a table, particularly one where few people are leaving and joining, you’ll see that people will become tighter and tighter as they learn more about the other people at the table and how they play. Slowly but surely the pot will become smaller and smaller as people play fewer and fewer hands.

You may well not notice that this is happening until you find yourself sitting with pocket rockets when an ace arrives on the flop and you realize that everyone at the table has folded leaving you to win a pot consisting only of blinds.

Monitor the average pot size as you’re playing and if you notice that it is getting consistently smaller and smaller then move to another table. There’s no point in sticking around a table where you’ll win virtually nothing, no matter how well you’re playing.
