扑克策略

　　不管玩什么样的游戏，要想成为一个成功的扑克玩家，有几个关键点还是要遵循的。

　　保守型。扑克玩家，甚至在整个扑克游戏当中，都可以分为打松或过紧这两种打法。松散玩家对决时，在每手牌进行投注，直到平庸的牌提高，这样做可以普遍赢得更多的钱。打紧张玩法的玩家最终一般会选择在折叠之前下赌注。他一般不会加钱到锅里，这样就可以节省在早期的投注金额。玩家要清楚扑克游戏是一种需要耐心的游戏。

　　玩家要知道什么时候需要积极的打法。这当然就可以在扑克游戏当中玩打紧手段。一手好牌出现时，可以打积极牌。这时候，一个优秀的扑克玩家就可以赢钱。

　　了解成功的可能性。你不必成为一个数学家，或者背诵长长的表统计。只要细心的考虑各种牌点即可。

　　在德州扑克游戏中，如果你有三个连牌，这通常是很好的一手牌。

　　有标准。你不会有时间来考虑赔率和思考每一张牌可能产生的结果。要了解你玩的游戏，知道什么样的玩。

　　效果最好时，没人相信它是虚张声势。他们不会想到一个保守的玩家，或一个从来没有唬人的玩家会虚张声势。即使你必须偶尔虚张声势。其他玩家就会知道你有一个很好的牌，在任何时候当你有一个很好的牌，而你都打得非常的积极，他们就会加倍的下注。

　　虽然扑克游戏是一种获取成功机会因素占很大比重的游戏，但是也有优秀扑克选手与差劲扑克玩家的区别。一个糟糕的玩家可能有时会获得机遇，但是一个优秀的游戏玩家可以将坏运气赶走，所以从长远来看，一个优秀的玩家才可能在最终的扑克游戏当中获得胜利。事实上，世界上就已经有不少的职业扑克玩家。

      Poker StrategyRegardless of the specific game, there are several keys to being a successful poker player.

　　Be conservative. Poker players, and even entire poker games, can be characterized as either tight or loose. A loose player stays in every hand until the showdown, bets and raises with mediocre hands, and generally loses more money than he makes. A tight player folds most hands before ever making a bet. He doesn't spend money throwing chips into the pot to save earlier bets. He knows a bad hand is a bad hand, and he won't play with it. Poker is a game of patience. Good players know they will lose a little money on many hands, waiting for the right hand to come along.

　　Know when to be aggressive. It's certainly possible to play too tight. When a good hand comes along, raise, and raise again. That's when a good poker player earns her money.

　　Know the odds. You don't have to be a mathematician, or even memorize long tables of statistics. Just be observant and consider how many cards of each kind are in a deck.

　　In a game of Texas Hold'em, if you have three of a kind, this is usually a good hand.

　　Have standards. You won't have time to consider odds and ponder all the possible outcomes of a hand at the table. Know the game you're playing, and know what kind of opening hand you should play with. If your opening draw doesn't meet your standards, fold.

　　Bluff rarely. A bluff works best when no one expects it. They won't expect a bluff from a conservative player, or from one with a reputation for never bluffing. You have to bluff occasionally, though. Otherwise, the other players will know you have a good hand any time you bet aggressively, and they'll fold.

　　Although poker is game of chance at its core, there are good poker players and there are bad poker players. A bad player will get lucky now and then, and every good player hits stretches of bad luck, but over the long term, a good player will make money at poker. In fact, there are quite a few professional poker players in the world.
