Less is More at Poker Betting

There is an old adage about poker that is about as true as anything could possibly be which goes as this; “in poker the less hands you play the more you win and the more hands you play the more that you will lose.” Not only does this apply to poker but it could also apply to any other online casino game. But the fact that online poker, just like the rest of the games offered at online casinos, has so many more hands per hour than what is typically played at a live in person poker table makes the old adage about less being more even more applicable. To the online poker player that cannot control his betting and who is getting in on far too many hands he will be cleaned out in short order. Online poker, heck, online gambling itself, is about being selective and choosey, at least if you want to win.

Online poker’s quicker pace means that gamblers must be acclimated to the faster decisions that must be made and the more hands per hour that are played. What this ultimately means is that you need better expertise on the fundamentals of the game and knowledge of the odds than what would be the case at the more leisurely pace of a traditional poker room at an onsite brick and mortar casino.

If you want to play more hands, expect to pay for it. If you want to win at poker online then only play the best hands.
