Late in a No-Limit Texas Holdem tournament at online poker sites is a bad time to be thinking that you are indestructible. Perhaps you have been getting some good cards for a while and your No-Limit Texas Holdem game is looking pretty good. You are on a roll and nothing can stop you. You go all in with you K-Q suited and within a few seconds you are looking for a new online poker tournament to enter. What happened? Going all in happened. To be successful at No-Limit Texas Holdem at online poker sites you will have to go all in more than once. But before you push your chips all in, make sure you are getting the right price at the right time. After all, you may only have one shot at it. Want to practice going all in at an online poker site? Then visit Poker Host for an initial deposit bonus of 100% up to $2,000 and play in the monthly rake chase for guaranteed seats to the World Poker Tour and European Poker Tour.
Now, the K-Q is a solid hand but it should be raised or it should be folded in this situation – but never called and certainly never called all in. Without help from the flop, you are in pretty bad shape against a number of hands, even if it was a middle pair. In other words, if you are going all in, try not to do it by calling. In No-Limit Texas Holdem, half of the fun is pushing all your chips in and waiting for a call, all the while knowing you hold the best hand. Join Poker Host today for your guaranteed seats to the WPT and EPT. |
