Now and again I sit back and wonder how good I actually am when playing in free online poker tournaments.

Most of the time I think I play quite well, I know mostly every detail there is to know about poker tournaments and have won plenty of them, but at the end of the day, the only way to know for sure how good I really am, is to take part in as many tournaments I can, and also play as many players as I can.

I think its important to play against new players all of the time. Its all very well playing with people you know, but you will never advance your skill as you know how they play and wont learn anything new.

Its easy to fall into a trap in thinking that everybody plays pretty much the same, but experience has taught me that this is far from the truth.

Fact is that it’s going to cost you some money to learn how to play poker because it’s not the same as watching on television than in real life at a poker table. You might lose a lot until you really know how to play your cards right.

Reading the rule book and tips on how to play poker won’t get you anywhere until the cards are in your hands and only you can tell yourself to fold, call or all-in.

I suggest you go to different online poker tournament sites as well as real casinos around your state or country and test out all the poker tables and see how good you really are.

Start off at lower amount tables so it doesn’t cost you too much if you lose. You will get some bad beats but if you stay focused, you’ll win in the long run if you stick to your game plan.

Bear in mind that when you are playing in a live casino rather than with friends or family, the game play will be very different. There is little conversation in a casino game and it is all taken much more seriously than having fun with people you know.

At casinos people there are out to get all your money no matter how they get it. So you should watch a few minutes but you sit down at a casino table. Once you get a good feel of the game and you feel your skill level is better, then move to a higher limit table.

If you continue with this strategy, you should find yourself making quite a bit of money at the end of the day. If you have never played against people you don’t know, playing free online poker tournaments is a great way to start as you they are free and you wont lose any of your own cash.
