Knowing
how to play poker and knowing the rules of poker
is the first step in developing a poker strategy.
First, understand the poker basics, read the rules
of poker and practice either online using free software
provided or with a deck of cards at home. On these
pages we will only discuss poker played on line
and not poker involving a real game were bluffing
is not only allowed, it is expected as the norm
of play and the offline strategy is much different
than online strategy.
Most online games require that the player obtain
a minimum set of cards to win. Anything less than
that and the gambler loses his or her wager. For
example in jacks or better, the gambler must obtain
at least a pair of jacks to win against the casino.
Anything less represents a losing hand. A pair of
tens is a losing hand, were in a real offline game
you might be able to bluff your way into a winning
hand with a pair of tens. |

no bluffing at all in online poker vs offline poker. |
