So you’ve set up your online poker account, created your username and password, made a deposit, and now you’re itching to start playing
some poker. As you start looking through the virtual lobby at the dizzying list of games and limits, you suddenly realize that you have
one small problem: you have no idea what you’re doing. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Learning how to play poker is a long process, one that must begin with understanding the basics of the game. If you are a complete novice to
card games, you should start with reading about how a 52 card deck works and how poker hands are ranked. Maybe you’ve played a game like
Hold’em for years and laugh in the face of newcomers, but are clueless at how to broaden your horizons with games like Stud or Badugi.
And if you want to sound like you’ve been playing for years (even if you just learned the rules today), check out the poker definitions
page to learn the lingo being thrown around at the tables.
Learning how to play poker shouldn't be scary or intimidating as long as you have a good guide. In an effort to help you build a solid
poker foundation, we have written about the basic rules and betting structures of the most popular games that are offered online and in
brick and mortar casinos. If you want to learn to play Texas Hold'em or finally figure out how to play Omaha, simply follow the link to the
game you are interested in and it should give you enough information to feel comfortable with the rules.
Once you have read up on the rules of the game that interests you, remember that you still have a long way to go before you will be able
to be a consistent winner. Just knowing the rules of each game is fairly easy, but there are some basic strategies that are essential to
learn before you sit down to experiment. There are several articles on Poker-Vibe (linked on the left) that will give you some tools to
become a profitable player, and help you experiment with a new game without losing too much along the way.
Learning how to play poker can be a fun and rewarding experience, but don't limit yourself. Playing a new game can be exciting and will
ultimately improve your overall poker skills. Concepts from one game often translate to another, so don't be afraid to broaden your
horizons and try something new.
