Zen and the Art of Poker

While Zen and the Art of Poker is probably one of the easiest books to read, and many will think that its too easy – I believe it is probably one of the best poker books out there.  Learning patience and the mechanical play of Texas Holdem would be an incredible asset when playing online poker.  You will learn how to be relaxed and play only with your mind, rather than playing poker with your emotions.

Limping under the gun

For the most part, you should be limping under the gun (UTG) with your decent hands (88,99,TT,JJ,AJs,AQ,AQs,AK,AKs) and not raise – at a full table.  The reason for this is, either you are expecting someone to raise, for you to be able to reraise, or players will assume with a UTG limp that you are strong and fold – giving you the same implications of raising, but still getting potential action on your decent holdem hands.

Top 2 isnt enough!

Such an easy misconception here – especially when moving from Texas Holdem to Omaha – Top 2 pair isnt enough!!!  Regardless of how aggressive the game is, its a drawing game – so if you have top 2, dont play it like you have the nuts!  Infact – wait until you have the nuts, and then play aggressive – as for the most part, you are going to get paid off :)
