			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am going to spend the next group of posts, talking about Phil Gordon and his Little Green Book, which I believe to be one of the greatest Beginner/Novice poker books available on the shelves.  Not only is it an easy read, but it gives poker players the basic tools to move forward in their poker game and learn how to be a Winning Poker Player.</p>
<p>&#8220;Winning poker is not about winning money.  Nor is it about reading tells or being the best bluffer.  It&#8217;s not about winning the most pots.  Winning poker is about making the correct decisions&#8221; &#8211; Phil Gordon</p>
<p>With that being said, you have made a great decision by visiting Online Poker Secrets, as we are here to provide you with the best possibile Poker Secrets we can, and hopefully they will help in improving your game.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the worst things you can do in online poker, is hold a grudge.  Say a poker player wins 5 pots against you in a session, generally you will begin to feel like you just want to beat that player.  This will cause you to make bad decisions in the moment, and not focus on your skills.</p>
<p>Do not hold personal vendetta&#8217;s against your opponents.  Poker is a war, not a boxing match.  You have several opponents to overcome, so do not let one take advantage of you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you already know the ins and outs of playing poker online, this online poker secret just might be what it takes for you to transition from a losing to a winning poker player.</p>
<p>No matter what stake you are playing, you should always have a minimum of 10x the Max Buy-in in your bankroll.  DO NOT MOVE UP STAKES, UNTIL YOU HAVE ATLEAST 10X MAX BUY-IN TO THE NEXT LEVEL!!!</p>
<p>Having an appropriate bankroll to play a certain level of poker is just as important as understanding how to play the game!  I keep a general rule to myself that if I am going to move up stakes, I must have atleast 15x the max buy-in for the game &#8211; this way, i have 5x buy-ins to play with and keep myself at the stake I am playing, without moving back down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This will probably be one of the most important online poker secrets that I could give to you.  This is for New Cash Game players &#8211; either transitioning from Online Poker Tournaments OR from Live Cash Games.</p>
<p>If you are going to be playing any No Limit or Pot Limit cash games (no matter what the game of poker is you are playing), you should have a minimum of 20x the max buy-in of the game in your bankroll.  For example, if you are starting to play 0.50/1 NL HE, the max buy-in at the table is usually $100.  Your bankroll should be at least $1,000.</p>
<p>You need to have a bankroll to sustain the swings, and if you choose to play a stake without the bankroll, you are putting yourself in a losing situation, no matter how good of a poker player you think you are!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While I dont believe a loose omaha poker player can get away with this as much, I believe that a solid, tight/aggressive poker player would have the ability to play small 4 hands and be quite profitable with these. </p>
<p>When a PLO poker player has a tight image at the table, other players presume that he/she is playing high cards in a range of top 20.  So, when a poker player is in a hand with a TAG player, and a low board hits, they will generally throw in a pot bet, assuming that the TAG player would have none of that board.</p>
<p>This is where a tight aggressive poker player has an opportunity to profit large in pot limit omaha.  Playing hands such as 2345 or 4556 etc. will allow you to make a larger sum than a high board with a high hand &#8211; as players are less likely to believe you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have a hand where you flop a flush draw or an open ended straight draw there are many ways to play your hand.</p>
<p>There is the conventional way of playing them by check calling a bet to see if you hit your card, but sometimes this is too obvious and a half decent poker player isnt going to pay you off when you hit your hand.</p>
<p>Change up the way you play your draws and bet them so that when you hit it doesn&#8217;t look like you were on a draw.</p>
<p>The best is to do this in position so that you have other ways to play your hand if you miss your draw. If you don&#8217;t hit and you still have the opportunity to take the pot with a bet then that is an option, but if you think that your opponents may call another bet you can always check to see if you hit the river. It is a great way to make money if you hit and a great way to see a free river if you don&#8217;t.</p>
