Common Texas Holdem Errors

On this page you will be told about a number of errors that Texas Holdem players commonly make when playing with their personalized poker chip set. Having bought your new personalized poker chip set, you really don’t want to go and lose to your friends at your regular poker tournament!

1. Playing Too Many Poker Hands

Many poker players, especially in the gambling game of Texas Holdem, play far too many poker hands. They get over-excited having bought their new personalized poker chip set and want to use it on every poker hand they are dealt! This is poor play and those that follow this strategy deserve to have their personalized poker chip set taken from them!

Many poker players become tight and aggressive after reading their first poker book. However, they then become too comfortable and over-confident, and think they can win every pot with their new personalized poker chip set. You shouldn’t allow yourself to fall into this trap. Please remember our key advice which is that you should be folding about one out of every five or six poker hands dealt to you. Leave your personalized poker chip set alone for the time-being!

This strategy means that you save more of your personalized poker chip set for the poker hand when you really want to raise strongly and take down the pot. Imagine how annoying it would be if you had limped in and called so many raises with rag poker hands like 7-2 offsuit that you didn’t really have a big enough personalized poker chip stack to double-up when you get dealt two aces! Additionally, due to the tight starting poker hand requirements that we have laid down for you and your new personalized poker chip set, if you hit the top pair, you know your kicker will be better than your poker opponents’ kickers if they have also hit top pair, so you can continue to bet and gamble aggressively.

You must continue to stay tight throughout the entire poker game and you should only really allow yourself two choices after the flop has hit: raise or fold (unless of course you are being clever and think the time is right for a check-raise with your personalized poker chip set). Obviously this poker tip is basic but it is fundamental if you are to progress with your personalized poker chip set in tournaments such as the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour.
