Choosing a Game and Sitting in Your Seat
Before you begin your road to poker success, take some time to familiarize yourself with the information
and software features in the following paragraphs.
To join a table, first decide if you want to play a tournament or a ring game (cash game). Both are available at “play table” (which I suggest is a good place to learn about the software and game action). Tournaments can take anywhere from an hour for a single table sit-n-go to 5-6 hours for a large multitable tournament with hundreds of players. To get things started - Select “Holdem”, “no limit” or “pot limit”, and then double click a table. Take a seat and choose how many chips to sit at the table with. Once you have joined the action and are sitting in, you can begin to check out the many options to customize your game. Most features can be accessed on the lobby screen, and some on the table your are sitting at. It just depends on the poker room.
TIP – Get to know the software and options at the site you are playing at. Play money
is the best way to do this. Be sure to check out all of the options that are offered.
Learn how to read the bet and pot amounts and where they are located. Learn how to
use the action buttons and how to raise a specific amount. This is covered in detail
further in this chapter.
TIP – Start with play money until you feel comfortable before venturing into REAL
money. When you do make the move, start at low limits and work your way up.
Anytime you feel out of your league you can easily jump down to a level that you are
more comfortable with. For tournaments, try a few freerolls. These types of
tournaments are a lot of fun and will get you accustomed to tournament play.
Try a free multi-table tournament atCarbon Poker. Good luck!
