Basic Poker Strategy: PokerRoomSchool instructs the New Player

So you've caught a little poker on TV, and thought you would give Texas Hold'em a try? Not sure where to start? Terms like "Flop", "wired pairs", "Big Slick" and "the Nuts" buzzing around your head? Check out PokerRoomSchool to get a handle on Hold'em poker.

Mike Sexton, commentator for the World Poker Tour, has been quoted many a time for his saying that Texas Hold'em takes minutes to learn, and a life time to master. The basic game is a simple one, and it does only take a few minutes to get the concepts down and deal the cards, but the complexities just keep on going. Even the basic game needs a little thought to win, starting with the concepts of position, the blinds, the board cards and the like.

PokerRoomSchool has a suite of lessons for the new and experienced poker player, starting with the basics of Texas Hold'em. The instructions are clear and well written, and should get the novice player up and running in short order.

One of the concepts a new player has to understand is the betting limits in Hold'em (and in other games as well) as represented by the terms "Fixed Limit" (often called simply Limit), Pot Limit and No Limit- the crowd favorite. The example in PokerRoomSchool's basic guide is Fixed Limit, which is the easiest to understand. Get that down, and then graduate on to Pot Limit and the No Limit game that is featured on TV.

Once a player is comfortable with the game they can also take advantage of PokerRoomSchool.com's great online poker deal, which puts $130 in a player's account just for taking an online quiz and signing up.
