Poker Training Program Programs
Author: admin
As part of my training program, I advise new players to watch a videotape about the game they want to learn. Watching videotapes can help teach you the mechanics of the game. You will actually see how the game is dealt and the bets are made so you will be familiar with the procedures and protocols when you sit down at a table. Videotapes can help reinforce what you have read and perhaps clear up any questions by visually showing you how the game is played. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
There are not as many videos about poker as there are for other casino games. I did purchase two Texas Hold'em tapes to incorporate into my training session.
Texas Hold'em Poker (Fundamentals for Winning) by Fifth Street Video
This was the first tape I viewed and it is a good tape for beginners. It explained how the game is played. This included explaining the blinds, dealer button, and betting procedures. Although all of the mechanics of the game were covered, it showed the game being played in a home environment rather than in a cardroom. This tape also discussed in detail how to choose a starting hand and how to play it after the flop.
How to Beat Winning Hold'em Players by Ben Tracy and Joe Marks
This was the second tape I viewed and I found it more advanced than the first one. It states on the cover that it is not a tape for beginners or first-time Hold'em players. It does not spend a lot of time on the mechanics of the game but covers more of the strategy involved with playing winning Hold'em. The tape recommends playing with a tight-aggressive strategy and suggests limiting starting hands to develop the discipline needed to win. The tape also covers, in part, patterns of winning players; compares the skill vs. luck factors; and talks about the importance of money management and discipline.
Both of these tapes stressed the importance of playing quality starting hands and solid play after the flop, but neither showed the game being played in a casino cardroom. Even though I felt that I had a good understanding of the mechanics, I decided to take a ride down to the casino and actually watch a live game being played.
