Regardless of if you just play free online poker at nopaypoker.com or play for the highest stakes imaginaable a Set is one of the most unreadable hands in Texas Hold'em. It consists of a pocket pair and one of the Board cards with the same rank as the pocket pair.
For example, if you have 4-4 and the Community cards are 5-4-10-J-K, you have a Set of Fours. Sets are unreadable because most players are accustomed to reading (a) two different hole cards, (b) high cards or overpairs, (c) draws that complete the Board, or (d) cards anyway related to the Board cards.
Given that your hand reading habits usually are a combination of limiting possible hands to the given characteristics, how would you put someone on 5-5 or 4-4 when it is much easier for you to put him on A-K (for top pair, best kicker), A-Q (for a made Straight), or K-10 or 5-4 (for Two-Pair), or even A-A (a high pair)?
Or maybe you'll put him on one Five, say, 6-5. But on two Fours or Fives? This is why Sets are very potent in Boards which have no Straight or Flush potential.
However, suppose in a Flop of Q-7-2 with no Straight or Flush possibilities, you have 2-2. You check (hoping to trap him), the other player bets. You move all-in and he calls right away and reveals Q-Q. You thought your opponent had A-Q or K-Q. How is this possible? It's possible. Even in this spot you are more susceptible.
Since there are no Straight or Flush potentials your opponent will fold cards that didn't fit into the Board cards. If you read hands in line with the criteria above, you might put your opponent on A-Q, K-Q, or even Q-7 (can you go as far as 7-2?!). Here because you are the one who moved all-in, the outcome of the hand is not fully on your control; it's up to whether your opponent calls or not. But suppose the situation is reversed. The player with the Q-Q checks, you bet, then the response is a raise all-in. How would you react?
When you find yourself slammed in a situation like this (which usually occurs on the Flop) on a cash game, take it as it is. Pay him off. Some other time you will have the Q-Q, another player will have the 2-2, and you'll be paid off. But in a tournament, you have many givens to consider (and you might want to consider these even in an ordinary cash game).
Compare your stack sizes relative to each other. If the difference is great, expect one of you to put his chips in the middle.
A Set could be the best hand both of you can have to get a double-up. If you possess the smaller Set get eliminated, attribute it to bad luck. However, assuming both of you have stacks above chip average, and you are put to a choice costing you all or nearly all your chips. You have 2-2. You're not likely to be blinded out in a few hands.
You may want to reason out: I have a Set. He raised me enough to put me all-in, or almost. He might do it with Q-7, (and whether your opponent had Q-7 or not will depend on what happened preflop. If no raise occurred it might be with Q-7, and you can safely call. Whether your opponent had 7-7 or not can also come under similar scrutiny) or if there is a raise, it might be with A-Q.
Now, top pair, top kicker is a weak hand to risk an above-average stack. And there is no Straight and Flush incoming, so the all-in could be made only with an especially strong hand. It might also be with A-A or with K-K (most probably it is) but it might also be just with Q-Q. If I put him on those three hands, there is a 2/3 chance I'm right, but a 1/3 chance of wrong, and when I'm wrong I will be busted. So I'll fold.
If you possess the middle Set (Set of Sevens), the same analysis may also apply. But you will be a lot safer because there is only one Set to kill you instead of the two possible Sets a while ago. If you possess the Set of Queens, enjoy!
The above analysis is agonizing and painstaking, particularly when it all amounts to giving up one of the most valued hands in Hold'Em.
Concluding Reading Sets
It takes some time to learn how to read hands, it's not something the unthinking donk "chip flingers" seen on many www.NoPayPOKER.com tables even consider. Most players it seems can't or won't put the time in, they claim to play just for fun which misses out on the key fact that winning lots of money is a lot more fun!
I think it's crazy that so many people play with so little skill and almost revel in the fact! But this is also very good news for you as one of the few who is learning to play well. The reason why is that when you really learn how to play poker well you can go mercenary and hunt the "fun player donks" down in low stakes real money games as well as free online poker tournaments sites that pay out real money while you happily build your skills and bankroll!

Play Free Poker Players Guide To How To Beat More Experienced Poker Players
The standard (and indeed common sense) poker strategy followed by average skill poker players who mostly play free online poker or low stakes and, for some reason find themselves up against strong players is not to play at all.
In cash games, in a table surrounded by good players, the "novice player" only has to leave and find an easier table. But in tournament poker, it is not so simple to avoid being trapped on a table with some good or even exceptionally talented poker players.
In this article you will learn why good players will generally easily beat the novice, and, if you are a novice or less advanced player what you can try to do to survive and even prosper if you find yourself circled by hungry sharks!
A good player can defeat a novice player because a good player knows the general pattern of a novice player, given the Board cards, the novice's actions and his position. Good players can also put them on a hand.
They will know if a novice player is holding a suited connector; a pocket pair, or even, in some extreme cases, a Set. The good player can play a Straight weakly (or even fold it occasionally) when the Board pairs and the novice suddenly pours down his chips.
First lets understand how the novice tends to play so we can understand why the good players have such advantage. For the purpose of this we will say that a player wins a pot when, (a) he wins the hand in a showdown or (b) he makes all his opponents fold. If we want our novice player to win a pot against a good player, what kinds of hands should he play, and how?
For example, if the novice aims to win the showdown. Then the novice player will have to pass through the preflop, flop, turn and river against the good player. At each stage the good player will get more information from the novice player than the novice player can get from the good player.
If the good player has more data, then he knows immediately whether the novice player has a good hand or not. He can continue to showdown and probably win a big pot, if he keeps on value-betting our novice. Or he can lose a small pot, if he slows down and just checks. Or he is able to make the novice fold.
Imagine our novice now tries (b) to make his opponents fold. (Let us assume the Board can help him only a little, and his hand, from the flop up to the river, will not be of showdown quality.) During the flop, turn, and the river, the good player will extract more inferences from the Board cards than the novice player will.
If our novice, who normally has the tendency to get excited, overrepresents a hand unnecessarily, then he will just be called by the good player (unless he plays really strongly, but he can't overdo this either).
From these, we gather that the pieces of information needed to make a decision is:
1. Your cards.
2. Your perception of the opponents' cards.
3. The Board cards.
4. Tells your opponent provides.
5. Tells you give away to your opponent.
6. Previous tendencies of each player.
7. Position.
Both the novice and the good player has (1) and (3), but the good player's judgment is generally more accurate with all these criteria. A good player, for instance, will believe that 8-7 (his cards) is not so nice-looking in a flop of 10-7-3 (the Board cards), but a novice player may. As for (4), (5), and (6) which stems from (1), (2) and (3), the good player is usually more aware of these. And good players care more for (7) than novice ones.
So if our novice wants to play a pot against a good player, he cannot really rely fully on the information above, for he cannot interpret them well. So our novice should look for a spot in which the good player also cannot rely on most of the information above, so that they will be on equal footing. When is it? Answer: Preflop. How to play? All-in.
Preflop, your perception of the opponent's cards is less accurate than after the flop falls. Also, since there are no Board cards yet, tells are less reliable. Finally, because a novice is less likely to have previous tendencies resulting from experience, the good player has little hold on (6). And preflop all-ins are dependent on hand strength mainly than position.
By moving all-in you can make your opponent fold (which is a win) or entice him to a showdown. Don't call yourself all-in, however, unless you've got a premium hand. Once your opponent does this move, if he is a good opponent, he knows that you are vulnerable.) When he does want a showdown, he is deprived of postflop information that may increase his chances of making an good decision. At this point, even though good player is still good, he has to play in terms of novice play.
The good hands the novice may have are still the traditional all-in hands: A-A, K-K, Q-Q, etc. A-K (or similar) is quite shaky, but if you can lull someone with 7-7 to play with you, you are still about 50-50 with him.Whereas if you take him to the Flop, he will have more opportunities to play his 7-7 better than you would play your A-K, and you will be defeated most of the time. Let us say your chance to win above is just 25% postflop; why don't you take the 50-50 instead?
Summing up
If you are new to poker then know this seems a lot to take in, the fact is though that while poker is easy to learn it is harder to be good at, hence the mad "chip flinging" you will see on many free poker tables. Most people it seems can't be bothered to learn, they are happy to play for what they call fun when in fact it's a lot more fun to learn to play and win more often!.

Free Online Poker Guide To How To Manipulate Other Players And Steal The Pot
In poker be it free online poker or big stakes you do not just play the cards. You are also playing with or rather you are attempting to influence the other players at the table so that they do what you want. The desired end result of course is that they give you money!
There are two elements in this. In regard to your play you are trying to read the other players, read their play style, figure their emotions and drivers and from here play your cards optimally.
In regard to the other players you aim to play them in order to misdirect their attempts to play you, to have them make incorrect conclusions about your style, motivations and drivers.
To learn how to do this lets look at an example of playing the player in action from a WSOP event.
BLINDS 50k/100k
1) A has Ac-Qh raises 350k
2) B is on big blind, has Kc-Js, calls 230k (Pot 880k)
K-J is usually a bit weak to call a raise. Moreover, B doesn’t have position over A, but he calls because he wants A to guess.
From the big blind, generally we just call because we are on a discount, so we might have 6-5, 10-8, and a bunch of other indeterminate hands which require guessing.
FLOP 4d-5h-3d
B bets 535k
Because small cards fell, B now wants A to think that his call from the big blind hit the Flop, and that his hand may well include those indeterminate hands like 5-4, 8-5, or even 6-7, or two Diamonds. But what did A think?
- A raises to 1.8m (Pot 3.215m)
- B needs 1.265m to call
Here, A thought that B’s bet was just a continuation bet, and with small cards falling A’s belief is reinforced that B is just trying to finish the hand. How would small cards likely hit B?
Additionally, B has been playing aggressively all night (stealing pots, etc.) so B could be betting with something (which is not likely with small cards falling) or with nothing. B could be playing just about anything, especially from the big blind.
At that point, A gambled that B has nothing. He could also have assessed that if B had something and goes all in later then he can move out fast. So he raised to test B's resolve.
B folds
B folds, because, indeed, he has nothing, and if he calls, he will be committed to continue. (Had B moved all-in then it will be a good all-in, for A could still be guessing at this point what B’s hand was. But B’s cards were not strong enough.)
Also, he folds, because A raised from late position, which allows for a wider range of hands, like even 5-4 or two Diamonds.
Poker, indeed, is not simply a game of good hands versus good hands. Experienced poker players will win with bad hands under the right conditions.
We give credit to B for first trying to win with a bad hand, a good effort to play he player. Unfortunately for B, A did the playing the player task superbly too, having noted previous actions and motivations and related that to current con text and probability and so played out to win well.
Conclusion
I know this may seem like a lot to take in all at once, the fact is though that while poker is an easy game to learn it is hard to be very good at, hence the crazy stupid "chip flinging" you will come across on many poker sites.
Yes it is mad that so many players play with so little skill, but it is also very good news for you as a player who is learning to play correctly. That's because once you learn to play poker at an above average level and combat the "all-in-all the time" maniacs then you can take them apart in coldly calculated genocide anytime you like in low stakes money games and when you play free poker online that pays real cash such as that found at www.NoPayPOKER.com .

Play Free Poker Online Big Hands Preflop And Win
When you have a big hand like KK and a good large stack preflop what is the best way to play it? And how does everyone else react? Regardless of if you simply play free poker games online for pennies or are at the final table in WSOP this is a core situation that you must know how to explot to the full.
For our example we will look at an example from the World Series of Poker:
BLINDS 40,000/80,000
A has As-10c moves all-in (Pot 1.296m)
B has K-K reraises to 5m (Pot 6.296m)
B has two options here. He can just call and then wait for someone to move all-in after him, but that would make him do some thinking...
Could it be A-A? Or Q-Q? If it was Q-Q there is a slight chance he might fold K-K, and regret it. But a big reraise can drive Q-Q or lower out, like what happened to another player:
C has Jd-Jc
(C’s comments on B’s hand were: “Why did you make it so much? ... You like your hand that much?”) If C calls, it’s for all of his chips.
C may think that B has A-K, but there are two all-ins in front of him, and one of them might be A-X (and with A-X he is still not safe) or a pair, but a suspiciously heavy raise to about 60 times the big blind is almost always a signal for A-A or K-K. So C could wait for a better opportunity than now.
C folds (Pot 2.39m)
C’s fold was brilliant, after the reraise, but it will still be brilliant even if B did not reraise. B might bet again on the Flop and C may not continue and just let go of the chips.
B’s reraise will work if he has A-A or K-K, but I doubt it if he will do the same with A-K or Q-Q, but it may have the same effect of making C fold. As for A, let us wish for his good health. B won the hand later.
Concluding Big Hand Preflop
I know this may seem like a lot to take in all at once, the fact is though that while poker is an easy game to learn it is hard to be very good at, hence the crazy stupid "chip flinging" you will come across on many poker sites.

Learn To Play Hold Em And Dominate The Table When You Get A Big Hand
In this free poker wizard games we're going to Reconstruct a hand , specifically in this article know the poker hand as the big hand .
The point of poker hand reconstruction Is to learn how to play poker by Better Understanding how the place works .
This hadeeth Can be related to the context of play . From Here You Can Begin to Determine the motives of The Other Player for Their actions , based on the cards That Fell , your betting patterns , Their player types , Their chip stacks , the pot size , and Many Other factors .
The result I Hope Is That You Can Play That type of care better in the Future and win more money !
For this poker hand analysis We Will examine the " Big Hand "
BLINDS 1.000 / 2.000 - ( 5.400 Pot )
Preflop :
A hock Js - 9s , call 2.000
B hock Ks - Kc , raises to 14.000
A Call 12.000 ( 33.400 Pot )
A play initially calls, hopping That There Will be Many callers also " Because he hock suited connectors and Wants to get sufficient pot odds .
B , though Might interpret the call from early position as AA or QQ , and Because He Has a large stack ( The Two Are the largest on- the- table ) Can he afford to raise a bit more , Because f The Other player reraise and he thinks The Other one- hock AA , Can he fold .
Also , the Knowledge Is a little bit unsafe f an Ace falls on the flop , so this May serves as a testing raise. A Call , He Has a Larger stuck so he Can afford the risk .
FLOP : Kh - 9d - Kd
A checks
B checks ( Pot 33.400 )
Suddenly B hock Quad Kings ! A checks , Because he only hock a Nine , and Can Proceed Carefully f B stain . B , hopping concealer to his unbeatable hand , checks too .
Paired boards are Generally good bluffing situation. For instance , a 8-8-3 board is good for bluffing Because on a, say , J 7-3 board , You Will Find Three Card Which Can one pair of Them , and a sick hoax Will Be Effective .
But on the 8-8-3 board , bluffing hock big benefits Because There are only Two Cards Which Can anyone conceivably help , and also " anyone with a Three There Will Be less " was likely to call . ( Only an Eight Will Do . )
But with a board with bigger cards like our Flop , B May Have bet , But After That , Will Be A less likely be put to heaven on a bluff ( and more likely be on a hand- made ) Because he 'may have, say , K - 10 , and we play big cards, More Than Small Ones .
A B doesn't want to back out of the pot . So B play checks .
Also , with Two Diamonds B Will Want To Check In The Hope That A Will put heaven on a flush draw so f the purge That doesn't come , Will A bet or raise to push away B , and B Can gain extra chips .
Turn: Kh - 9d - Kd - 5h
A checks
B beet 20.000
A raises to 70.000
B Calls 50.000 ( 173.400 Pot )
B still hock invincible quads , still hock A Two- Pair . B Could Have now put A on the Nine or a draw , so B 20.000 stain so Thats a Will Call .
But Since During the flop B May Have represented a diamond flush draw in A 's perspective , A raised, so to 70.000 B That Will Move Away .
B just calls, Because There are Two draw Already , Might and B choose to Represent One of Them Again " so Thats a Will Attempt another bluff on the River.
RIVER : Kh - 9d - Kd - 5h - 9h
A checks
B moves all-in 106.000 ( 279.300 Pot )
A folds
B Quads still hock , But A Is Now In Trouble Because He Has a bottom Full House . A King Can Kill Him.
What A is hopping , though , ice That B back- doored a flush Heart and just check it along with HIM .
But B moves all-in. That is a very intriguing move by B. A strong player Would this value- bet ( SAT , 40.000 on a pot of 173.400 ) and A Can just call it .
It is OK to Represent a flush here , Since the board is double - paired , Which Can Destroy flushes Since the board is just one card off a Full House .
So what I am thinking is : B Moved all in. Because ( a ) he wanted A to Think They May Have The Same hand OR that his hand is Weak , like a flush . B's Play On The Flop and The Turn was Weak , so note Might Have A put- on-a B But King was likely on the flush draw we are talking about .
B Wants a call . B Hope's now Thats a backdoored a flush too and also " That he thinks his all-in is just a scam , But A is in trouble as a result of sudden strong play .
It was psychologically jarring .
Did B hide That King or Not ? A Better Might Imagine That Could come handy later , so he folds .
Also ( 2 ) B 'may note want a showdown , he did note Want to show The Two Kings , he wanted to trouble the mind of A and Other opponents .
If They saw how he Played KK IT Will Be added information . He Wants to Keep Them guessing .

The point of poker hand reconstruction Is to learn how to play poker by Better Understanding how the place works .
This hadeeth Can be related to the context of play . From Here You Can Begin to Determine the motives of The Other Player for Their actions , based on the cards That Fell , your betting patterns , Their player types , Their chip stacks , the pot size , and Many Other factors .
The result I Hope Is That You Can Play That type of care better in the Future and win more money !
For this poker hand analysis We Will examine the " Big Hand "
BLINDS 1.000 / 2.000 - ( 5.400 Pot )
Preflop :
A hock Js - 9s , call 2.000
B hock Ks - Kc , raises to 14.000
A Call 12.000 ( 33.400 Pot )
A play initially calls, hopping That There Will be Many callers also " Because he hock suited connectors and Wants to get sufficient pot odds .
B , though Might interpret the call from early position as AA or QQ , and Because He Has a large stack ( The Two Are the largest on- the- table ) Can he afford to raise a bit more , Because f The Other player reraise and he thinks The Other one- hock AA , Can he fold .
Also , the Knowledge Is a little bit unsafe f an Ace falls on the flop , so this May serves as a testing raise. A Call , He Has a Larger stuck so he Can afford the risk .
FLOP : Kh - 9d - Kd
A checks
B checks ( Pot 33.400 )
Suddenly B hock Quad Kings ! A checks , Because he only hock a Nine , and Can Proceed Carefully f B stain . B , hopping concealer to his unbeatable hand , checks too .
Paired boards are Generally good bluffing situation. For instance , a 8-8-3 board is good for bluffing Because on a, say , J 7-3 board , You Will Find Three Card Which Can one pair of Them , and a sick hoax Will Be Effective .
But on the 8-8-3 board , bluffing hock big benefits Because There are only Two Cards Which Can anyone conceivably help , and also " anyone with a Three There Will Be less " was likely to call . ( Only an Eight Will Do . )
But with a board with bigger cards like our Flop , B May Have bet , But After That , Will Be A less likely be put to heaven on a bluff ( and more likely be on a hand- made ) Because he 'may have, say , K - 10 , and we play big cards, More Than Small Ones .
A B doesn't want to back out of the pot . So B play checks .
Also , with Two Diamonds B Will Want To Check In The Hope That A Will put heaven on a flush draw so f the purge That doesn't come , Will A bet or raise to push away B , and B Can gain extra chips .
Turn: Kh - 9d - Kd - 5h
A checks
B beet 20.000
A raises to 70.000
B Calls 50.000 ( 173.400 Pot )
B still hock invincible quads , still hock A Two- Pair . B Could Have now put A on the Nine or a draw , so B 20.000 stain so Thats a Will Call .
But Since During the flop B May Have represented a diamond flush draw in A 's perspective , A raised, so to 70.000 B That Will Move Away .
B just calls, Because There are Two draw Already , Might and B choose to Represent One of Them Again " so Thats a Will Attempt another bluff on the River.
RIVER : Kh - 9d - Kd - 5h - 9h
A checks
B moves all-in 106.000 ( 279.300 Pot )
A folds
B Quads still hock , But A Is Now In Trouble Because He Has a bottom Full House . A King Can Kill Him.
What A is hopping , though , ice That B back- doored a flush Heart and just check it along with HIM .
But B moves all-in. That is a very intriguing move by B. A strong player Would this value- bet ( SAT , 40.000 on a pot of 173.400 ) and A Can just call it .
It is OK to Represent a flush here , Since the board is double - paired , Which Can Destroy flushes Since the board is just one card off a Full House .
So what I am thinking is : B Moved all in. Because ( a ) he wanted A to Think They May Have The Same hand OR that his hand is Weak , like a flush . B's Play On The Flop and The Turn was Weak , so note Might Have A put- on-a B But King was likely on the flush draw we are talking about .
B Wants a call . B Hope's now Thats a backdoored a flush too and also " That he thinks his all-in is just a scam , But A is in trouble as a result of sudden strong play .
It was psychologically jarring .
Did B hide That King or Not ? A Better Might Imagine That Could come handy later , so he folds .
Also ( 2 ) B 'may note want a showdown , he did note Want to show The Two Kings , he wanted to trouble the mind of A and Other opponents .
If They saw how he Played KK IT Will Be added information . He Wants to Keep Them guessing .
You Need to play more unpredictably in order to gain chips Than seems to gain chips now , But ask Unable to get sometime later . "I believe this is a brilliant reason .
