Basics: Poker

     Before I can get into strategy or even get into basic play I need to get into what poker is.  If you are looking for advanced strategy you are in  the wrong place, check back at some other point, for now I want to get all readers on the same page.
     Firstly poker IS a sport, not a physical one, but it IS NOT a game of chance.  Proof for this can be found in various studies on ppa.org.  There are various types of poker 5 card stud, Omaha, Razz, Hold'em,etc.  My game of choice as well as the most popular is no-limit hold'em.  What sets no limit hold'em apart is the fact that at any point all your money can be at risk making this not only a game of mathematics but psychology and BALLS.  Don't have balls? then don't play no limit, play limit, which is pretty much a game of mathematics and proper play.

    Poker has always been fun for me but my family always told me not to play it too much or I'd get "caught in the loop".

    I wanna learn more, so I'm going to follow this blog!

    Yeah I love, No Limit Hold'em as well. It can be really draining both mentally and physically (through fatigue). It's also really intense and awesome to play with friends.
