What’s The One Thing Players Can Do to Increase Win Rates?

Russell Fox was one of the presenters at the First Annual California Poker Players Conference.  He is one of the country’s experts in the area of gambling and taxes.  Here is his number one recommendation to increasing win rates.

Once you’re sitting at table, besides learning people and taking note on what’s going on, the most important thing you can do is hold. 

Many people like the active player.  The more you play, the more pots you’re in, and the more you chance you take of losing your money.  It’s better for the average player to play the old way of tight and aggressive.  When you do that, you’ll be folding a lot of your hands. 

If you have a game like Omaha, there are few winning hands.  The tight aggressive players will be the winners.  For Hold ‘Em you can play more games because of nature of the game, but over time, the loose players tend to be the players that have lost the most money.
