Advertising Your Plays in Texas Holdem Games

Texas Holdem No Limit, particularly in the upper limits, will become more intricate, and often require you to perform a lot more strategic planning than other games. One tactic that is often utilized is that of advertising plays, and, used properly, can help you immensely.

Advertising is a Texas Holdem strategy that works directly opposite that of most tactics, in that you send out a message, or sell a particular style or hand. Sometimes it can be a genuine message (i.e. that you have a solid hand) but it can also be the opposite.

One way that this Texas Holdem strategy can be put into use is when you have been playing very tight and are no longer getting any action. At this point you will want to project, or advertise a more loose image. What you will do is bluff, and If you get caught, to lay down the cards.

One of the great things about a bluff is that it will stick itself in the minds of Texas Holdem players. It means that you will be able to get more calls and the other players will call you.

Of course, advertising as a No Limit strategy can also be utilized when you are trying to convey a tighter image. When you win some hands, show it off, just to give the impression that you are now playing nothing but solid and premium hands.

However, as with all Texas Holdem strategies, this one has to be used only on certain occasions. For example, you should not attempt this when you are playing against low skilled players. This is an advanced strategy, and for it to work, your opponents must be of some considerable skill.

Trying to advertise against novices will not produce the results you desire as this will be unable to correctly interpret the message. Also, when trying this Texas Holdem strategy, make sure that you do it against players that have been playing on the table for awhile. This is important so that they will know exactly how you have been competing.

If those players leave and new ones enter the picture, you must reinvent your approach; play a few hands using your usual playing style to determine the best way to advertise against the newcomers.

Advertising is one of the most effective tactics in Texas Holdem. Use it when you are playing in high stakes games, and you will get a lot more action and money.
