Improve Your Poker With Self Coaching

If you have ever noticed on your favorite video episode of the WPT, many of the pro players discuss hands that they just played against each other, extending their full and honest opinions on their strategy. Why? These guys are professionals and they are conveying their deep feeling about a hand, potentially giving away information.

Well, it may seem odd, but pro players know that if they vary their play enough, that will be enough to mask their maneuvers in a hand. The real reason they verbalize about hands freely is because they love the game, and they also realize that you can always become a better player, by sharing. It's like they use that interchange to help better their game, train himself to improve.

Soccer players have trainers, just like Olympic athletes, cyclists, baseball players, heck even chess players have coaches! The idea here is that if you take your game seriously, coaching is an excellent way to better your perspective of the game and your strategic decisions. Let's get back to that poker on TV mentioned earlier where you can see everyone's hands on the camera. Your perspective of each hand varies significantly because you have a clearer interpretation of each player's motivations in the hand. The same can be said for a coach or a friend, following what you do in the game.

You shouldn't be alarmed at the thought of hiring a coach though because of the cost associated with it. There are nonetheless ways that you can easily start a self coaching course of study. Playing internet poker really expedites this because your poker software allows you to retrieve hands that you played from a simple text file. These can be found in program's hand history section. You can use these hand histories to post in forums, which is one of the easiest self coaching options available.

Simply register in any online poker forum, then start posting hands in pertinent sections. You will get more feedback than you ever thought possible. Most of the advice is going to be very instrumental to you because of the distinct perspective other players will have of your play - i.e. coaching.

If you are at all a regular player then there will be no problem in finding four or five hands that you can post for analysis. That is how to self-coach in poker. You have to get committed in your own hands and your own borderline plays, and let the coach's opinions sink in.
