There are many ways you can play poker, whether it be paid or free poker. Some players are conservative players and some play aggressively and then you have others who like to play a little of each.
This first paragraph is for all the aggressive players out there who probably play on tilt 90% of the time. This is a good way to get chips fast but also a great way to lose chips fast. The more you are aggressive the more risk you have of losing a lot of your chip stacks. It’s good and bad, be careful you don’t go broke.
The conservative players among us tend to play their game tight and only go all in when they know they have a killer hand and are unlikely to take a beat. You will also find a conservative player rarely bluffs when playing.
In reality, if you want to be the best at your game, then you need to learn how to play both aggressive and conservative and more importantly, you need to know when to use each technique. Playing like this will ensure that other players cannot read your game play, giving you the advantage. Hopefully you will be playing against players who like to just stick to one way of playing their poker.
If you are new to poker then the first thing you will need to learn is how to play. My best advice would be to hit some low stakes or even free poker tables so you avoid risking lots of money.
On the same note, if you have only ever played one style of poker, then its worth experimenting by playing the other style to see how well you do.
I look forward to seeing you at the poker tables soon!
