Money Night Football

As the name suggests, this football-style promotion is kicking off to rapturous applause. It’s the fusion of online poker and the NFL. And getting started is a cinch. Players need only make minor changes to their existing screen name (to promote their favorite NFL team or player) or register a new account with an NFL/player name included.

How this exciting promotion works?

Poker players will be thrilled to know that between 13^th September and the 4^th October 2010, they’ll be in the hunt for big cash prizes and exciting poker-football gaming. Doyles Room will be hosting two $10+1 Money Night Football events. They are scheduled to take place on Mondays at 18h00 Eastern Time. Once you’ve changed your name to reflect an NFL team or a football player, then you stand a chance of a rollicking real-money finish. The $500 Kamikaze contest is scheduled for the following Wednesday at 15h45 Eastern Time. I’m pretty excited to pit my skills against poker’s finest and the Money Night Football contest appears to be the ideal platform to do it.

The golden rule is this: play as much poker as possible. And I’m not talking about going out to register on poker sites and making hefty deposits. I’m talking about playing at a wide range of free online poker rooms. Chalk up as much poker experience as you can before wagering for real money. And when you’re ready to start wagering, then shop around. There are so many poker rooms competing for your hard-earned cash that you should always get the best sign-up bonus offers.

Another important playing tip is this: know your poker hands. This can’t be stressed enough. If you don’t know what hand you’re holding, then you’re not going to know how to beat your opponents. Hand rankings are really important too. When you choose a poker room, make sure to choose only a reputable online poker gaming operator. There are many to choose from but only regulated and licensed operators should be played at.

I’ve seen lots of success with players using poker playing software. These types of programs are quick and easy to run and they can assist you in making better betting decisions. If you’re unsure of what cards to hold and what cards to fold, then these programs will certainly help you to formulate a better poker playing strategy. This brings me to the next point which is really important: bankroll management. I can’t stress it enough but managing your bankroll will be your saving grace in poker.

And yeah, don’t play every hand. You should use judgment in deciding which hands to stay in and when to fold. There’s no point throwing good money after bad cards – no matter how well you feel you can bluff.  And after it’s all said and done, remember the golden rule: play sober. Many poker fundis have lost massive bankrolls by making poor calls while under the influence. Take a peek at this video that’ll definitely lighten your mood.
