Introduction Introduction Hey everyone! Enjoying online Poker at KhelPlay? Why wouldn’t you when it is free and can win you real money! Well online Poker and offline Poker are based on certain skill and strategy. Understanding the Science of Poker can help you get closer to the game, and eventually, win more real money. Studies have been made in this direction. For instance, a 2008 study concluded that online Poker, and offline too, are a skill — students who received some basic pointers performed better while playing 1000 hands of Poker than those who received no training at all. Also, Randal D. Heeb, an economist and statistician (and avid Poker player) who analyzed 415 million hands online Poker no-limit Texas Hold ‘Em, found that the skill of a player “had a statistically significant effect on the amount of money won or lost.”
So what elements can be included in the Science of Poker? Let’s find out:
Probability Probability Be it online Poker or its offline version, Probability is an integral part of Poker. An easy way to calculate the odds of completing a hand is to compare the number of cards that are needed to complete the hand to the number of unknown cards. When players understand the odds in Texas Holdem then they know when to play more tightly and are able to more easily recognize when to place a bet. Particle physicist Marcel Vonk broke down the process to a few basic questions: What cards do I have? What range of cards do I think my opponent has? Given these, what is the probability I will win the hand after all cards have been dealt? And the most important: Given that probability, will I win money in the long run when I pay the bet? The best one can do, most of the time, is “make a very broad guess,” he says.
Psychology Psychology Online Poker and offline Poker are so amazing that you can actually use Psychology to win money! There are playing patterns and certain behavioral signs that each player demonstrates. These are called “Poker tells”. With a good observation, you can decode Poker tells of other players and thus get an idea whether a player has a strong hand or a weak one. Professional players can also bluff Poker tells to mislead others. But that’s exactly what you need to decode- is a player being real or faking it. For example, if a player is staring at you he is trying to intimidate you and hopes that you’ll fold, because he has weak cards. If someone is “acting weak”; maybe sighing when making a call or a raise, he might be the person you’d want to be concerned about. That example is obviously of offline Poker. In online Poker, the betting patterns are your tells. Take note of how long someone takes to call; if too long, the player may not have good cards and is thus taking time to make a decision. There are many such signs and signals that you can learn and decipher with practice.
Temperament Temperament When you are risking money, no matter how rich or poor you are, every step of the game will be important to you. As the amount in the pot rises, the tension at the table rises. Professor of Physics and String Theorist Jeff Harvey says, “You need to be unflappable. Bad luck can’t bother you. It’s too easy to get ‘tilted,’ and start playing looser, more erratic, or too passive.” The game of online Poker and it’s offline version requires you to stay calm and collected even when you lose a round or two. Because if you don’t stay calm, you are less likely to make wise decisions and more likely to lose more instead of win money.
The Bond Thing to do while playing online Poker is to continuously make calculations, observe others’ behaviors and balance your emotions. Not too tough, right?! It won’t be after enough practice. So keep playing online Poker at KhelPlay and keep getting better. ‘Coz there’s too many people to be defeated in online Poker and too much money to be won!
