Poker is a game of skill and there is no doubt that some people will be naturally more gifted poker players than others. Even though this is true there is no reason why everyone can’t improve their poker game.

Say for example you want to take up playing golf. You buy a new set of clubs, get a membership to your local Country Club and buy yourself a new golfing wardrobe. If you play only occasionally you will find that your game doesn’t really improve. If you take some lessons and get out to the driving range once a week you will find your game improves very quickly. Not everyone is going to hit the ball like Tiger Woods but everyone will improve if they work hard at their game.
Poker is exactly the same. The difference with poker is that the best way to improve your game is to play as many hands as you can. It’s also good to read a poker book or watch a DVD but nothing will help you more than playing hand after hand after hand. That’s why internet poker has revolutionized the game. The standard of the average poker player these days is much higher as players get the advantage of practicing.
One of the biggest supporters of this theory is none other than the Godfather of poker, Doyle Brunson who has said that the young players today have a huge advantage in that nothing fazes them on a poker table as they have seen it all before on the internet.
