Will YOU Fall Victim To WSOP Syndrome?
By Rory Monahan, www.Texas-Holdem-Secrets.com
I'm sure that you have noticed that is
nearly IMPOSSIBLE to turn on a TV these
days without seeing a poker game...
And while I love all the fish that the
Texas Hold 'Em explosion has produced,
watching too much poker can DEVASTATE
your poker game.
That's right...
More and more, I see players falling
victim to what I call "WSOP Syndrome."
WSOP Syndrome comes from watching the
entire World Series Of Poker and thinking
that is what real poker is like.
For many newcomers, watching the WSOP
and the World Poker Tour are the ONLY
"experience" they have.
There are many reasons you should be
cautious about treating the WSOP as a
true representation of real-life poker...
1. You will never catch that many good cards.
It's not because they players on TV have
better luck- instead, it is because the
games are TIME-CONDENSED to make them more
exciting.
In other words, what you see on TV is only
a FRACTION of what REALLY happens...
Often amateurs feel that they should play
every 2-3 hands... this leads to loose play
and lost money.
2. You must understand the "limits of low-limit."
Unless you are playing for high stakes
(over $1,000), you will find that the games
you play in are much LOOSER than the games
on TV.
So a hand that the players on TV wouldn't play
will often be played at your local game.
3. You don't want to become cocky.
I cannot tell you how many times some new
player sits down at a table thinking that
with his "experience" watching poker, he
could hang with REAL players.
Lol.
4. You (probably) haven't mastered the art
of poker.
Most aspects of poker require up to years of
practice to use at the level that you see on TV.
Players on TV have played for years and have
mastered the art of bluffing, betting, and
intimidation.
If you are a novice, and you try to bluff like
Gus Hansen, calculate the odds like Howard
Lederer, or intimidate players like Doyle
Brunson, you WILL end up losing your entire
bankroll.
Period.
5. You should be practicing instead!
Real practice is really the best way for you
to improve your poker game. Start with local
low-stakes tournaments and work your way from
there.
Poker on the television is a great way for you
to see new strategies, learn more about poker,
and improve your game.
However, make sure that you understand the
difference between the World Series Of Poker
and the multi-million dollar World Poker Tour
tournaments and a low-stakes game.
Instead of emulating the players on TV, make
YOUR OWN PATH and learn how to dominate every
game you play.
To help you do this, I have compiled all my
closely-guarded secrets into a revolutionary

for itself.
