POKER GUIDES

WHAT TO EXPECT

My poker guides and tips are here to give you a better shot at winning—whether you’re just learning the ropes or looking to sharpen your strategy. From understanding the basics to handling high-pressure hands in tournaments, these guides are written to help you play smarter.

Do you know which hands are strongest in Texas Hold’em? When to fold instead of chasing? What position at the table really means? Or how online poker compares to sitting face-to-face in a live game? If not, don’t worry—my guides break it all down clearly, so you can approach each hand with more confidence.

TEXAS HOLD’EM BASICS

Texas Hold’em is the most popular poker game in the world—and for good reason. It’s fast, simple to learn, and full of strategy. If you’re brand new or just need a refresher, I’ve got an easy-to-follow guide that covers the rules, betting rounds, hand rankings, and common mistakes to avoid.

I also go into the different ways to play—cash games, sit & gos, tournaments—and what to expect from each one.

POKER STRATEGIES

Winning at poker isn’t just about luck. The more you understand about betting patterns, table position, pot odds, and reading opponents, the better your results will be. I’ve pulled together the most practical tips and strategies—from knowing when to bluff to managing your bankroll.

There’s also advice on how to spot loose players, tighten up your game when needed, and avoid tilting after a bad beat. It’s not about playing more—it’s about playing better.

ONLINE VS LIVE POKER

Playing online is very different from sitting at a live table. Online games are faster, less personal, and often more aggressive. Live games offer more chances to read your opponents—but also more pressure. I’ve written separate guides to help you handle both formats, so you can adjust your style wherever you’re playing.

I also keep tabs on which poker sites are trusted, which offer decent bonuses, and where to avoid. It’s not always about the biggest welcome offer—sometimes it’s about how quickly they pay out.

POKER TOURNAMENTS

From freerolls to high-stakes multi-table tournaments, there’s no shortage of ways to test yourself. I’ve got guides on how tournament poker works, the stages of a typical event, how to play when short-stacked, and when to push for a win instead of just surviving.

Whether you’re aiming to win a local pub game or take a shot at an online qualifier, there’s advice here that can help you last longer—and maybe even go all the way.

Poker’s one of the few gambling games where skill can genuinely tip the odds in your favour. With the right mindset, solid strategies, and a bit of patience, you can improve your game every time you sit down to play. My guides are here to help you get there.
