Cash Games Strategy Part 2

There is nothing like a live cash game, especially a big one. While online poker may be more profitable to some, there is just nothing like a live cash game. That is what will keep you working hard and keep you coming back for more.

A good cash game will encourage you to become a better player and make you want to be great. Not only that, but it can also pay very well too.

You can sit at a poker table in a cash game for 15 straight hours and never think twice about it.

The wonderful thing about a live cash game is that you can sit at the same table and end up going through dozens of different opponents. Even better, most of them will not be very good.

Depending on where you play, you will often find new players and tourists. That is the nice thing about poker being part of a casino. Although, real poker players do not look at the game the same as blackjack or craps; many other players do. Those are the ones that we want to take full advantage of.

Live Cash Game Strategy

Nothing pays off more in a cash game than patience and aggression. An aggressive style of poker will pay off more than any other style.

It is important to be able to mix tight with aggressive. You want to be selective about what hands you play, but when you play then you want to take control of the hand.

The very best way to take control of a hand is by betting and raising. At the same time, you have to be knowledgeable enough to know when you are beat and get away from a hand, without showing weakness.
 
If you can win one big pot per hour along with a couple little ones here and there, you will be good to go. It is just extremely important to stay patient. It only takes minutes to go from $200 to $1000.

One minute you will be sitting there wondering if you even like poker anymore. The next minute you will start catching hands and doubling up left and right.

It is amazing how fast things change in this game. It also works the other way around as well, so never get too comfortable. If you can get all of that into your head the next time you play in a live cash game, you will do much better.
