Poker Strategy

The type of Poker strategy you use depends a great deal upon which type of game you are playing.

Limit Games
If you are playing in a limit game, or a limit tournament, a lot of the aggressive high powered strategies will not work. You will typically have more than two people in the pot. For example, bluffing and picking up small pots are much more difficult. And if you do have a hand, you will most likely have to show it on the end. The tendencies of some players to call with almost any hand means you must play a much tighter game in limit poker. In other words, you will have to consistently show the best hand to come out ahead at the end of the night. You really have to play your cards, not so much the player.

No Limit
In no limit games, you have many more tools at your disposal. You can play the player, so to speak. When you sense weakness, you can pick up the pot with any cards. In no limit, it's usually one or two people in the pot. You can be more creative. It's not always what you have in your hand, it's what you think your opponent has.
You want to catagorize the players in your game. Are they also very aggressive? Are they very tight conservative players? If you know their playing style, you can use it against them to pick up pots when you are in a hand with them. Reraise them, check raise them, what ever it takes to get them off their game. If everyone at the table is playing tight, you should loosen up your game. Against tight players, you can bluff more often. If everyone is playing loose, you really need to play the better hands. It's almost a contrarian strategy.

Summary
After playing in both limit and no limit games, you will begin to develop your playing strategy. The more you play, the better you will get, and the more you will take home with you. So, shuffle up and deal.
