The best thing for anybody to do, whatever your eventual goals, is to learn about and try all or a number of the games which most interest you and allow yourselves to come to specialize in one or a few of them naturally. Observe which game yields the best results more easily and more enjoyably. Once a game comes naturally to you, you will be able to improve to your fullest potential, thus realizing your fullest potential to profit from the game.
It s a fact that some games are easier to play than others. Hold em definitely fits in with the easier variety. The is also a good place to start because of the copious literature on this form of poker and the fact that you can always find a game whether on line or in a club. Hold em is the most popular form of poker today.
However, this is no more than a convenient means of introduction to poker. The fact that Texas Holdem is the most popular game in casinos and online does not mean that you will do well in the game. There may be something of a Hollywood effect about Texas Holdem: some people like to believe that because of the popular status of the game, Texas Holdem will, as it were, discover them and mail their fortune overnight.
Begin with Hold em if all you want out of poker is to play a lot without much effort on your part. On the other hand if what you are looking for in poker is to take part in a broad and variegated field demanding creative input, go forth, my child, on your own and conquer poker in your own way, the way that comes naturally to you. Keep your wits about you so you don t lose a bundle the first game you try and you can go ahead and explore many sorts of games.
You will become not only a jack of all trades and be able to decide which game best to specialize in, but you will learn your own abilities before they are obscured by overeager preliminary learning. Doing things on your own for a while is good and healthy fun: you are then most uncertain and most involved, which means that your observation and learning skills are at their sharpest. Organizing your own activity and the experience derived from it will give you a justified sense of purpose and opinion.
And when afterwards you settle down and begin to specialize and learn from the books, you will know already what of the vast amount of material to look for, what to agree with, and what to ignore. By then you will not only be in command of some of the basics, you will have learned by then to make unconventional insights into the game. You will be able to perfect your skills by practice and reading, but you will also have learned from experience how to observe that which your opponents are not looking out for.
When you can observe accurately your opponent s weak points, you can make educated, original decisions on how to play poker with them most advantageously for you.
