With the right strategy, anyone can use their brain to beat the casino at its own game! This blog post will teach you how to become a pro with no money down! From beginner strategies to advanced tips on improving your skills, this article has something for everyone.
The following are 10 ways you can start becoming a poker pro without spending any money.
- Learn From The Best
If you're serious about learning to become a better poker player, it is simply not possible without studying the game's history. A great place to start would be with David Sklansky's 'The Theory of Poker and Caro's 'Poker tells.' Studying these two books alone might make you quit your job and become a professional poker player.
- Community Building
After reading as many books on poker theory as you can, you should move onto the next logical step: get into contact with other players who are good at the game. You need people around you to bounce ideas off, trade notes with, or even play money games. If you live in Sklansky's hometown of Las Vegas, he is a frequent guest at Bob Ciaffone's home games on Thursday nights.
- Use Your Software To Find Fish
If there's one thing that poker is lacking right now, it's solid poker news sites. It seems like everyone is taking the ESPN approach to this game when they publish garbage articles on how great a certain player is or how this famous person plays their tournament.
The next step is to use your software to find players with a similar skill level as yours and contact their databases with custom content. It would be best if you tried to give them basic strategies to improve their games (that's why you're studying poker!). If this isn't enough for them, then take it one step further by saying that you'll pay them $1 if they could show up for a few hours in the next week or so. This will help boost up your bankroll!
- Poker Books That Are Cheap On Kindle
Kindle books offer great value for money; 'The Theory Of Poker' alone costs around $12.99 for a paperback version, while you can have an electronic copy for $6.99 on your Kindle Fire or PC/Mac (if you've purchased Amazon's free reader application). The book also includes several important appendices!
- Poker Magazines On The Internet
Yes, there are still poker magazines being published - but now the best ones are available in digital format only: 'Bluff' (also has a website), 'Deuce Magazine,' 'InThePit.' Check out the recent review of these three poker mags as well.
- Poker Books On The Internet
Many useful poker books aren't available in digital format - at least not yet. So, if you have a hard copy of the book you're interested in, why not make it available to other people online by scanning the pages? A great way to help out fellow readers and earn some money: check out the free service used by many for this purpose at visit here.
- Play free poker online until you make 100 total dollars playing free online poker tournaments.
This can be done easily with almost any semi-decent Internet connection because all different sites offer freerolls every day. After this, use the 100 dollars to take an online course from Mike Caro University Online Poker Training Course ($30). He teaches virtually all aspects of Hold'em, including hand evaluation, theory, strategy, and position. Now you can go to any casino in the world and play with their 100 dollars in free chips for an entire day worth of action! Playing online poker tournaments is much easier than regular cash games because the variance is significantly less as long as you know how to play correctly. This will give you a chance to make more money, allowing more time to get your degree.
- Back Up Your Knowledge.
If you're trying to become good at heads-up no-limit Holdem (HULHE), then check out the profitable strategy articles by Dan Harrington. After all, he is widely considered one of the best players ever. Maybe not in terms of excitement as an announcer on TV or because he's a big-name player who makes headlines whenever he plays in high-stakes tournaments... but certainly when it comes to profit over the long term.
- Take Advantage Of Your Right To Play For Free
If you live in the United States of America, you have a right to play poker free for money (to the extent that it is legally allowed). Many online sites offer free cash and freerolls - use your own money to register an account with them via special links on this blog: Check the blog. So far, there are written reviews of more than 200 different websites here, so definitely check out all of them if you haven't already!
- Test Out Different Sites At The Same Time
Just as a test: make accounts at two or three virtual cardrooms that you haven't played before and play a few games to get familiar with them. Some poker sites are very friendly because they want your rake besides your own money. Nutz is the perfect choice for online gambling needs. Others offer special incentives for new players who open an account, while some look like a black hole of bad software, the worst kind of regulars (you know those guys who sit in front of their computer 24/7), but have great traffic. So it's best to browse through as many different options as possible so that you don't waste too much time on any one site.
