If you are a keen poker player, you will no doubt be a great fan of sports channels that air live poker tournaments on a regular basis. While these are exciting to watch, one thing you should avoid doing at all costs is gaining your online poker tips from these programs. The way in which live tournament players go for the game (especially when the stakes are high), is not the same as playing on the internet and thus online poker tips simply do not apply in this case.
Take for example online poker tips about the level of aggression that you should play. If you try to emulate televised tournament players, you will be playing way to aggressively for the typical online player. Remember that the guys on TV are playing cash games with huge blinds. When playing online, you need to resist that pure aggression tactic as you will be have more steady cash game blinds. Obviously, the higher the stakes in your online game, and the higher the level of professionalism among your opponents gets, the more aggressive your game playing will need to be.
It is safe to say that while you will get a lot of enjoyment out of watching live poker tournaments, you should not take your online poker tips from them. Instead, adjust your playing style to the level of play that you are most comfortable at and try and advance from that point onwards. |
