Learning and improving usually costs a lot of money, doesn’t it? Nobody wants to spend their hard earnt money without a guarantee of success. Unfortunately, poker doesn’t work that way. You need to risk to get rewards. It’s a form of gambling that has no promises.
Luckily, there are resources and tools online that you can use for free that can help you develop. If you use the resources in this article, you can expect to improve and have a decent shot at beating low stakes texas hold’em games.
Cheat Sheets
A cheat sheet is something you find in almost any game online. There are literally thousands of cheat sheets online and you can get them for free. The best poker training sites have developed their own poker cheat sheet that you can use to develop fundamental strategy. They usually detail some free strategy, tips on hands to play and some basic advice on odds too.
Push/Fold Charts
A lot of the tournaments online are super-fast and involve short stack poker. To truly master this style of tournament, you need to understand push fold strategy. Fortunately, you can get push/fold charts online easily. We’re not going to give free promotion to sites that offer these charts but if you google them, you will find them and best of all, they’re free. I recommend sticking with the major poker sites that offer them. Sites that are old or obsolete are unlikely to provide new and relevant strategy.
TwoPlusTwo
Probably the best poker forum out there, two plus two is the number one authority on poker strategy and discourse. I can’t even keep up with the different number of forums they have. Whether you are a beginner or advanced player, you will find areas that offer insights and answers to all your questions. Remember, forums should be able sharing not just taking. So, if you have practical tips to offer, don’t be silent in the background. A forum thrives when people help people so don’t be shy to help others out.

Obviously, you can’t improve if you don’t dedicate some time to learning. Nobody becomes a master within an hour, it takes time.
