Poker Hints 81

While playing online poker blinds are extremely important and you need to defend them every chance you get. To allow you to gain a measure of their importance, before I go on, I’ll give you a small example. Consider a real poker table. Let’s suppose you get called away every time the big blind gets around to you, so you post it and leave the table. You return as soon as the big blind passes on, and you take things up from there again. This way you’d lose about three times the equivalent of a big bet per hour. If you play successfully from every other position but the big blind, you’ll be winning about one big bet per hour. I think it’s pretty clear now just how important defending the blinds really is.

Nowhere is the importance of the big blind more obvious than in online poker tournaments. Here, as level up happens every three or eight minutes, the blinds alone can kill a player’s bankroll if he/she fails to act in their defence.

Staying positive in all situations is a must. Never feel intimidated or weak. Your opponents will sense this and crush you with big betting and effective bluffing.
