Every individual will have different psychological factors to consider when playing the game and each has his own style of play. If you are not familiar with your style of play at a poker table, read on and we will give you an idea.

Tight-passive

If you believe you are a tight and passive player, you will notice that you get into the action a lot but most of the time you are outdrawn. Instead of raising or re-raising you opt for calling or just checking. Loose players can eat their way into your chips since you will allow them to play their suited connectors so they will get their draw without too much of a fight. They might also win big when you are a bit too tight to fight for a bigger pair that you have.

Tight-aggressive

If you think you are this kind of player then most likely you only get little action on the poker table and rarely do you win big when you have a monster. People know that you only act when you have big hands, and why will they go full speed against a wall? Tight players sometimes forget to loosen up a bit to play not so premium a starting hand as thing get shorthanded. This style of play though remains profitable.

Loose-passive

Other players will love to have you at their table. The poker table will be full when you play. You get a lot of action, but you also lose a lot. This can be the worst style that you can keep. You rarely fold your cards. When you have strong cards, you play them not so aggressive so you don’t make the most of it. If you think you are this kind of player, do something about it. Now.

Loose-aggressive

If you are this kind of player, you are a tough opponent. You tend to raise or do re-raise even when you don’t have the best of cards. Most likely you can get into the action with any two cards that you are dealt with. It is a very difficult style to master and use on the poker table. You have to be very familiar with the game to adapt this style of play or else you will be going home early every session.

Money in the Pot

How much you will bet of course depends on how much is at stake. Before betting or raising, you should check out how much is in the pot. How much you will add to the pot will affect the decision of your opponents, and it is up for you to react to the incorrect or correct odds they call.

The ¾ of the Pot Rule

If you think you have a monster with your cards in No Limit Holdem then, by all means, go ¾ of the pot. If you want to make the field thin and see some opponents fold then this is the way to go. Making small bets might help your opponents outdraw you.

The situation can be different if you want to appear weak and lead other players into a trap.

Before the Flop Raise

When you are raising before the flop, you should consider shelling out about three or four times the amount of the big blind. You can also add some bet to it if there players before you who are limpers.

Betting will allow you to control the odds and catch your opponents off guard. Remember to check out the pot before doing anything on the table.

Firstly before you even begin planning to host a party it is highly recommended you check with the local law. There is nothing worse that to have the long hand of the law to slap you with a huge fine for breaking the law. If it is not legal to gamble, it is highly recommended that you obey the law and do not play for money (we have to say this, but seriously…. ).

One of the first things you need to take care is the guests list. Everything that follows depends on the number of guests attending. For up to 10 players, 1 table will suffice. Anything between 11 and 17 will require 2 tables and if your guests list has above 17 people you will require 3 tables. Remember that as the number of tables increase the press sure on you as host also increases.

To host a poker party you will require a lot of drinks and snacks. However it is a good idea to impose a no food at table rule. Or else soon your cards and chips will smell of shrimps and sushi. Also it would be a good idea to arrange a small table next to the main game table to keep the drinks.

The first thing you need is casino chips and cards. Plastic chips are cheap. But if you are out to impress get hold of clay chips that definitely is better than the plastic ones. Make sure you have at least 50 chips per person. It is going be embarrassing to run out of chips even before the party starts.

Don’t bring out your torn and worn out deck of cards. Buy new cards. Get at least 2 decks per table.

Go over the rules before game starts for the novice players. And remember to have fun.
