KNOW YOUR LIMITS
It's important to
know your financial limits. A good rule of thumb is not to gamble with
more than 10 percent of your net income. For example if you bring home
$500 dollars weekly, no more than $50 a week should be used for
gambling. Obviously this is just a general rule, where some may take
bigger risks and others would prefer not to. Wherever you decide to set
your limits is entirely up to you, but limiting yourself will ensure you
of having greater success and a more enjoyable experience. It's ok to
have a bad night where luck may not be on your side, but knowing this
and accepting your losses before they're out of control is the key to
having success in the long run. The biggest mistake that a player can
make is getting frustrated from being down and feeling desperate to win
a hand and even depositing more money to break even. If you feel this
happening it's time to take a break and try again later.
It's also important to know the limits of your knowledge of
the game. You surely don't want to get in over your head with
"sharks" or professional players. We'll discuss more about
this later on in this website. For now stick to the low limit tables
$.50/$1.00 stakes or below and stay away from no-limit tables. As your knowledge
increases your ability to play on bigger tables and with stronger
players will also increase. Don't try to rush things, take your time.
