Poker Leagues Improve Your Poker Play

Okay, I belong to two great poker leagues. One meets twice per month and the other meets once per month. There are several advantages of playing in a Texas Hold’em poker league. The most important of which is becoming a better player, understanding the strategy (and boy, is there a lot of strategy!), learning the value of your betting and the secrets of winning the tournament.

The other most important component is the social aspect. The making of friends that share common interests and enjoy each others’ company. I’m very fortunate to be playing poker with some very top notch, committed, and energetic ladies. And it’s been great to see all of us improve over the past three years .

The amazing thing is that in one league I remained in first place for 7 games and slipped to third place this month. The other league I’m in dead last after five games. So, I’m not sure if the “practice makes perfect” concept is working this year. Thank goodness I’m continually “practicing” and realize that “that’s poker”.

If you’re thinking of starting a poker league in your area, we offer complimentary league rules with purchase on ”http://www.morethanpokertables.com/”. These are a variation of the rules that we use for our league.

Thanks to those of you who are responding to my call for Recipes for Poker Parties. I have received several via email and will share those with you soon. In the meantime, keep them coming, please!

If you currently play in a poker league, please share with us what you get from belonging to a poker league. Please post your reply. Or if you want to start a league and need help, post that also or contact me at pocketaces@morethanpokertables.com and I’ll be happy to share our stories.

Please remember to share your recipes as well – easy to prepare and easy to eat!
