GotToGet! Poker Strategy offers tips for all levels of play and a special section dealing with online poker.

Poker is a skill game. The 'luck of the draw' certainly comes into play, but over time, you'll average the same number of winning hands as any other player. The key is to play the cards that you're dealt better than the other guy plays his. Minimize the size of your loss when the cards go against you, maximize the size of your win when the cards go in your favor, and fold, fold, fold when you're dealt cards you shouldn't be playing!

To skip the preamble and start learning now, click on Beginner, Advanced or Online in the left column.

Beginner and Advanced also apply to online poker. The online section is simply an overview of the minor differences in strategy when playing online, rather than in a bricks and mortar poker room.

You not only have to beat your opponent in poker; unless you're playing at someone's kitchen table, you have to beat the house rake as well. The rake is what the house takes from each winning pot and is generally 5% of the the pot up to a maximum of $3 (actual rake varies depending on the number of players at the table and the size of the table stakes).
