Essential to know?
Poker is the best gambling game ever invented because it is incredibly easy for beginners to play but incredibly difficult for even the smartest players to master.
You will find it difficult to master and you will be frustrated by it over and over again.
You will only ever master the game if you can master your own emotions, accurately assess your own strengths and weaknesses and take the time to improve your skills and gain quality experience of the game.
Love the game, respect your opponents and always seek to improve as a player.
Health and safety: poker is gambling - only ever gamble what you can afford to lose. Play for the love of the game, not for the love of money.
