How to Improve Your Poker Skills
Every poker player on the earth, professional or beginner, should always be trying to improve their poker skills. You should never, under any circumstances, be content with your ability. You should always be striving to improve your game, make more money etc. Otherwise, there is no reward in playing. If you see the same results over a long period of time, you may start to feel you have hit a brick wall and cannot improve your game anymore. This is entirely untrue; every poker player can work harder and learn more, they just have to have the drive to do so.
Reading articles
All over the internet are websites dedicated to poker strategy. They offer tons of free articles, just like our website, for visitors to read and learn from. This is probably the easiest way for a beginner player to learn the basics and even advanced mechanisms in poker, as it is free and readily available. You wont find an a way to learn about light three betting faster then using the internet, so why overlook it?
Coaching
Coaching is becoming more and more popular as the poker industry grows. There are several professional players who offer their coaching skills to any players looking to sharpen their skills. You can find them in a few places, some may have a website dedicated to their service and others just post their ads on poker forums. Depending on the skill level of the opponent and the level of skill the player wishes to learn, lessons can range from fairly cheap to very expensive. This is because a top player could be earning thousands of dollars an hour playing poker, so they need to make coaching worth their time.
Coaching is almost impossible to find for players at micro stakes, as one lesson will often exceed the amount of money in their bankroll, meaning even if they take the coaching they won't have a bankroll to play with.
Asking Questions
When you were at school, I bet you were told that the best way to learn something is to ask questions. This somewhat applies to poker, it all depends on who you are asking. Poker forums are a great place to ask questions, but to be honest; you never know the skill level of the players replying to you. You could be a profitable medium stakes player and have year's worth of knowledge about poker, and a beginner who started playing a month ago could be trying to give you advice. There is no way to avoid this, but hopefully you will be able to tell what advice to abide by.
Also if you have any friends who are more experienced then you at poker, try asking them your questions. You are guaranteed a knowledgeable answer and you are more likely to be given a more thought out and detailed answer from a friend then a unknown forum member.
