The goal of this website is to help serious poker players willing to study and apply strategic concepts to: Play Winning Poker.
When it was first put online, the
Winners Guide to Online Poker was the first detailed
resource addressing how to win playing poker online, with its many differences from casino games. Today there are
many sites pretending to offer online strategy, but few deliver. Hopefully you'll judge this site does.
But why should
you believe what is written here rather than what some nut might babble on a street corner? Good question. My name is
Steve Badger. I wrote most of this site. I've
played tournaments, casino and online poker professionally for over fifteen years. In 1999 I won a World Series of Poker
event and have wins from the California State Poker Championship, Los Angeles Poker Classic, Gold Coast Open, National
Championship of Poker, Legends of Poker and others. I've written a strategy column for Card Player Magazine and have
been featured several times in mainstream media articles about the industry.
But this isn't a personality site about me. It's about strategy, and none of that resume stuff guarantees anything anyway!
Keep in mind this site's principal lesson: if you want to be a winning player, you need to think and decide for yourself.
Creative, logical, sensible, situational thinking is key to winning. Even more, it's the key to winning big.
This site aims to help you learn how to win, rather than just learn to play.
How to Play Poker,
How to Play Texas Hold'em and
Poker Hands are good starting places for novices, as are
Poker Terms and
Poker Rules, including
Texas Holdem Rules.
The site includes 150 poker strategy articles in the linked topical sections covering real-world and online topics like
poker tells (including
online tells), bluffing and
free poker online, as well as
poker industry issues like
cheating and the
World Poker Tour.
