It doesn't matter how you like to play your poker, whether it is online free poker or in a casino, there are lots of different ways you can play. You can play it aggressive, conservative, or a little of both. There is no right way or wrong way to play poker. It's all about how you play the cards.

So, lets start with the aggressive player first. If you want to build a chip stack quickly then this may be the way to go, however be aware that you can also lose your chips quickly this way too. If you are a risk taker and want to try it out then give it a go and see if it works for you.

Conservative is another way of playing. It's a good style, you usually take down the pots that you are in and you usually make it far in small tournaments. If you are playing in a cash game this is a really good way of playing, you only go in on something good like a pair or something like that but hardly ever bluff.

In reality, if you want to be the best at your game, then you need to learn how to play both aggressive and conservative and more importantly, you need to know when to use each technique. Playing like this will ensure that other players cannot read your game play, giving you the advantage. Hopefully you will be playing against players who like to just stick to one way of playing their poker.

If you are new to poker then the first thing you will need to learn is how to play. My best advice would be to hit some low stakes or even free poker tables so you avoid risking lots of money.

On the same note, if you have only ever played one style of poker, then its worth experimenting by playing the other style to see how well you do.

I look forward to seeing you at the poker tables soon!
