Phone Poker Tips - It Is Time To Try Something New

By Mark Walters

Poker has become quite the popular card game, from playing Texas Hold 'Em with a group of friends, to watching the World Series of Poker on television. Naturally, it would seem, the game has found a comfortable home on the internet and by extension in the world of mobile phones. There are some tips for success you can use while playing mobile phone poker...

One thing you will have to keep in mind is that you are not physically competing with others face to face. Playing poker on your cell phone eliminates the ability to pick up on others' tells, so you will have to formulate a game plan based on their betting tendencies. See if another player likes to raise at any flop. They are likely trying to see if you bluff back or take the pot. Someone who is playing tight will have to play a hand back or fold. Don't do this too often yourself, because the others will pick up on the idea that you never have good hands and are always bluffing.

Finding high dollar games is another tip for success at playing mobile phone poker. Better and more experienced players usually hang out in those rooms. Playing against those who have never played or haven't played often can be aggravating and senseless raises can really hinder the pot. If they aren't raising, they are instantly folding. Oftentimes, newer players will stick to the lower stakes games because there is less to lose while they learn the game. Pots increase faster and more substantially when more dollars are at stake and opponents are playing properly.

One thing to be aware of is that many mobile phones are still working out better methods by which to run their applications. Do some research online to find out which games are most compatible with cell phones. Lagging and crashing are not part of a successful poker engagement. If possible, play at a WiFi hotspot so that the battery will last longer. Many applications are notorious battery eaters, so not only find WiFi, but see if you can locate an electrical outlet just in case.

Mobile phone poker is becoming more popular by the day. With all of the functions a mobile phone serves, you may as well hop on board if you enjoy poker. Use some tips for success on mobile phone poker and you will rake in the dough.
