Poker School available at William Hill

Have you ever seen Poker on the Television and fancied giving it a go but don’t know where to start? Are you baffled by the terminology of flops, rivers and turn or indeed by the myriad of variations of the game that are available or maybe you are just scared (sensibly) of getting into a game that you don’t understand; all of that could quickly be over. William Hill, one of the most respected bookmakers and online casinos has a brilliant section for you on how to play the game giving a complete rundown  of terminology, hand rankings and even how to play or when to play your hole cards (those you have been dealt). There is no doubt that poker is a great game but what is often not appreciated is that you do not have to play for a small fortune. There are many “no limit” games that you can play for a few cents (games are categorized by the size of the “blinds” which is also the size of the minimum bet) but you should reckon on having an initial stake of around 100 times the “big blind” to play effectively; but at 20cent stakes that is still only €20. An alternative is to enter tournaments which is a great way to learn but you should not expect to win anything for a while. In a tournament you cannot lose more than your buy in amount. The William Hill site gives you tips about playing in tournaments as well as how to calculate your odds of winning a hand and when to play or not to play a hand depending on where you are sitting at the table. All in all a great guide. Go to William Hill, click on the “Poker Tab” and then the “Poker School” Tab
