Poker Games

An Introduction to Poker Games

Does anyone remember what they used to do before online poker? Or do you only worry about your post-flop strategy? Ask any poker player, and it was all far simpler - once the poker bug sets in it becomes difficult to remember what it was you actually got up too back in the days before you became aware of the Holy Trinity of the flop, turn and river. It’s a bit like someone trying to remember back in the days when they quite happily watched snooker on a black-and-white television set – it didn’t bother people at the time time, but the thought of it now would drive viewers into rage.

But can a ‘game’ really change your life with so much impact? Well, yes it can. Ask all of soccer fans around the globe who watch and play soccer week in, week out, and see what they have to say about something that’s ‘just a game’. Both soccer and poker generate passion within people and possess a healthy social side, but as a poker aficionado I’d say there are some major differences, even going as far too say advantages, that poker has compared to footy.

For one, the likelihood of you pulling on a shirt to have a kick-around with Fabregas and Rooney is as remote as Andorra lifting the World Cup, yet in poker you can take a seat and face world champions at tournaments all around the world. All it takes to have a shot at beating the best is a single victory in one of the many varieties of online poker tournaments..

What’s more, there are huge amounts of money to be won for free. A fabulous example of which is the Ladbrokes Poker Million winner Tony Jones who took $1,000,000 from under the noses of some of the world’s top poker pros.

If you’ve never picked up a pack of cards, then Ladbrokes Poker will put you on the track to winning poker – with hints, tips and tuition, from the basic rules to advanced poker strategies.
