From this point on we will continue through all stages in chronological order. Volume A2 will therefore be the actual start and at the start of all things you have to learn the Rules of poker before you can gain the knowledge (Know How).
Learning the rules
This might sound silly, because if you are reading this you probably know the rules in poker, right? I mean I’m sure you know e.g. all the hand rankings.
Im sure you know that there is a flop, turn and a river. And I’m also sure you know or learned about these rules or facts simply by playing or watching. And that’s how most people learn about the rules of poker and that’s actually why „Learning the Rules“ is a segment in this series. It is not only in poker that people learn the rules of the game by observing and simply doing. I personal know that from Basketball because I started playing from the age of 4 until around my early 20’s and I have never actually read the rule book on Basketball. But I still know the rules, or at least all the Important rules (basic rules) and that is actually enough if you are just playing the game because if you are unintentionally breaking a rule, the referee will correct you and you will then learn anyway. So why would you even bother reading a boring rule book, right?
Well because there is actually a flaw in that concept. Let’s say you were never being confronted with a particular rule, therefore you don’t know the rule exist. And that could result potentially in a bad outcome for you, later on. Imagine you will be confronted with a rule for the first time after years of playing a game in the most important game of your carrier. Not only that it’s bad for you, in that particular moment but think about how you could profit from rare situations from a widely unknown rule.
Here is a short 5 minute video about how knowing all rules can be very profitable.
