Texas Holdem Poker Intermediate Strategy
If
you have been using the beginner strategy effectively
and winning consistently when playing Texas Holdem Poker
in online casinos it is time to move on to my:
Intermediate
Texas Holdem Poker strategy.
We will still be
playing Texas Holdem Poker very tight. We will be investing in
hands where we stand a greater chance to win and fold those where we
have little or no chance to win.
My intermediate
Texas Holdem Poker strategy introduces additional powerful hands
into your Texas Holdem Poker arsenal.
The hands that we
will be adding to our playable Texas Holdem Poker hands are:
K-Js (the s means
suited ex King of clubs and Jack of clubs), A-10s,
A-K, A-Q, K-Q, 7-7,
6-6, 5-5, 4-4, 3-3, 2-2.
We are also
playing the hands which we learned earlier. Those are:
A-A, K-K, Q-Q,
J-J, 10-10, 9-9, 8-8, A-Ks (the s means that both cards are the same
suit – both clubs), A-Qs, K-Qs.
These additional
starting hands will allow you to play more hands in Texas Holdem
Poker.
You must resist
the temptation to play starting hands outside of the best beginner
and intermediate starting hands.
If you have one
of the best hands, I recommend that you raise your opponents. A
raise does a couple of things for you.
-
tells you who
else may have a strong hand (If they re-raise)
-
forces a
player with a bad hand to fold
-
gets more
money into the pot

Strategy on the flop
When the flop
hits you must assess:
-
Whether you
have improved your hand or not.
-
Whether you
have a hand that can win the game.
If you have
improved your hand on the flop or still feel you have a good chance
of winning, I recommend that you raise.
If you have not
improved or don’t feel that your hand is good enough to win then I
recommend folding.
Intermediate
Strategy on the Turn and River
Playing on the
Turn and River is similar. Every time a card is dealt you should
ask yourself:
-
Did you make
your hand?
-
Do you have a
good chance of making your hand?
-
Most
importantly, is your hand good enough to win?
If it is I would
raise. If it is not then I recommend folding.
