			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Players play an important role in the game right?  Without a player, who will actually play the game, and what use would you have of a <a href="http://www.pokeroffice.com/free-odds-calculator.html" title="online poker">poker odds calculator</a>?  If you are able to know about players and their types, then it will be easy for you to plan strategies against them.  If you know your opponent’s type, then it would be easy for you to predict the hands your opponent has.  While playing, try to figure out your opponent and categorize him into any one of the following categories. </p>
<p>Calling station is the worst type of player in the game.  Calling station is sometimes called a “fish”.  Calling station, as the name says, is an individual who always “calls”.  He will call at the time of flop, and continue with the same until the river.  Calling station, players will always be calling, and they will be participating in every situation, even though their presence is not required.  You should watch for such a player, because he is the one you should target.  You will become a “calling station” if you don’t fold a loosing hand. </p>
<p>Loose Aggressive Player is a person who plays more hands, just like calling station, but those hands are inclined to “raise”.  You can easily identify a player as a loose aggressive player or a tight aggressive player.  Playing, loose aggressive players can cost you more.  You should be careful with them, because they will be raising bets more often.  You can isolate them by re-raising their bet, provided you have a good hand.  You should be able to make those players pay. </p>
<p>Rock is a super tight player who plays with premium cards.  When these people rise, you will know exactly what they have.  You will come to know that they have KK, AK, AA, etc.  Generally, these players won’t be playing with many hands, but if they are doing so, then it means they have a good hand.<br />
This are the most important ground for <a href="http://www.poker-bonus-calculator.com/" title="online poker">Texas Holdem</a>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hold them or fold them.  Knowing the time to fold is key to the <a href="http://www.pokerrush.se/uk/" title="online poker">game of poker</a>. How do you determine if you should fold? The odds. You are looking at the hand and trying to determine if what you have can beat what everyone else has. That is calculating the odds and making a decision based on what the likely outcome is. Sometimes that is easy and sometimes it is not so easy. If you are using just what cards are in your hand to calculate your next move you are not using all the information available to you.  </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at what this looks like. You are playing <a href="http://www.pokerrush.se/uk/index.php?menu=pokersites" title="online games">Holdem</a>. The game is $1 and a max bet of $2.  Six players and you are the last better. No surprise, $6 in the pot. Your hand shows a ♣A-Q and the flop is a ♣K-♣Q-♣6.  So you know you are sitting on a pair of ladies and an ace high flush is still possible.  The next round of bets go $1. Two call and two fold. So do you raise, call or fold? If one player is sitting on a king your hand is in trouble. What do the unseen cards, outs, hold? The cards in the hands of the other players are cards you will not get. When you start to figure out what cards are out there you need to include the unseen cards. So the math is simple. How many cards can improve your hand? Two ladies could help, three aces could help, any club will do it. That is 2+3+9, the two queens, the three aces and the nine remaining clubs. So 14 outs can help you. There are 47 cards you have not seen or 14 out 47 cards can help you on the turn and 33 will not help you. So you are looking at 2.4 to 1.  This comes from dividing 14 in to 33.  The exact numbers are not important to know your next step.  For the pot to be worth the risk there needs to be more than 2.4 times the amount you need to risk (the call). You need a reward of $2.40 or more to make it worth while. The risk is $1 and the pot has $9 in it.  The odds are paying 9 to 1 which is significantly better than the 2.4 to 1 you you need so call. As you play the odds will start to come as second nature. You can practice by dealing some hands with no players and calculating the odds and then looking to see how it goes.</p>
