Here are a few thoughts about poker, especially what has become the most played poker game these days, Texas Holdem. The basic rules are simple in Texas Holdem and it is fun game that anyone can play either at a land-based or online casino.

When you go out to play poker, what are the motivating factors which inspire your decision? Is it a night of fun, or the fascination for the game and the adrenalin rush you get from money on the table and a close competition for the pot? How tilt proof are you? Texas Holdem is one game you have to keep a cool head and control your emotions to win. If you have a weakness in this area and other players discover it they will use it to their advantage and you will loose your shirt.

Are you new to the game of Texas Holdem? If so, then play it as safe as you can until you learn what type of player you are. If you discover you are easily manipulated then play something else, because the real name of any poker game is reading and understanding body language. If you cannot disguise your emotions then everyone at the table will know when you are strong and especially when you are weak.

On the surface Texas Holdem is a simple game with limited rules but if that is all you see you better take another look at the game. If you are new to the game it is strongly suggested you be an observer and watch the players in action before you risk big money or better yet, play the free poker games offered at the online casino.
