Thursday's poker guide discusses why limping into pots in poker puts you at a disadvantage. Avoid those situations and take charge of your game."Poker is a game where you are rewarded for making good decisions. Two key good decisions to make in every hand you play are to take control and gather information. One of the fundamental mistakes many newer NLHE players make is to limp. They call the big blind instead of raising or folding. They enter the hand with no particular strategy or advantage in mind. Even if they call a subsequent raise, they have neither taken control or elicited specific information that will be helpful to playing out the hand."
The article can be found in the beginner guides sub section of poker guides area of the poker section in the sub tabs.
