    What's the secret to consistently winning in Poker?

    I go through streaks winning lots of hands then losing.

    Any good strategies?

    LOL and I just won a $160 in a hand while I'm typing this.

    hahaha that's funny.

          Where are you playing at ?

          I think the secret is patience.....wait for those good pocket cards. Also don't be afraid to fold even if you are in, you will lose less than calling until the end and losing double.

          I'm also starting to see a pattern, that if I start winning a few hands in a row at a table, its best to leave and sit down at a fresh table. Otherwise I start losing......

              play the odds...Know your outs and how many you have and compare them to what others could have based on the flop....and also watch the others betting habits...

                      playing lots of hands, getting to know the opponents and by playing alot of hands, its more difficult for someone to read your hand... setup a preset amount, when you bet big, dont change that amount.. change tells the opponent something about ur hand

                          Notes on others can help you win greatly....earlier at a 10/20 table, I noticed one guy who others kept folding to when he raised too much, and I beat him twice when I called him and he had nothing. The following few hands I kept raising him and beat him with a pair of 5s, then a pair of 9s. Then he left the table hehe....

                          Also those I see fold a lot on the pocket cards, or right after the flop, I note as 'not likely to be bluffing'.

                                  exactly you will catch the people that will raise a hefty amount on the flop and if you call check on the turn alot of the times where trying to bluff the pot at first then get nervous that's when I push them for that money cause they hate losing what they already have in the pot.

                                      If you have actually studied the numbers on poker already the only other thing you need is hours and hours on the tables to tweak your skills.

                                      I've told people some easy to remember strategy that let them win consistently but to teach them to rock would be an almost full time undertaking. There are so many situations that can come up and so many ways to go about it.

                                      You have a business mind though, you should pick up quick. It was like learning to tie my shoes.

                                          When I first started playing, once it was after the flop and I wasn't hitting what I needed, say for a straight or a flush, I used to keep calling until the end anyways since I had some money in I didn't want to lose.

                                          Big mistake. Now I've learnt it's better to take half the loss

                                                      that's a pretty ignorant strategy considering its based on one deck that is shuffled every hand - the probability will always be the same

                                                          That may be true in real-life poker, but I assumed this thread was about online poker.

                                                              1 deck is a very limited sample. Patterns are everywhere because of the small number of possibilities.

                                                              And online poker uses a constant shuffle.

This is especially true since the casino makes money on everybody regardless of if they win or lose. The undertaking that would be involved is so enourmous it would be rediculous to even consider it.

                                                                          I've told people some easy to remember strategy that let them win consistently but to teach them to rock would be an almost full time undertaking. There are so many situations that can come up and so many ways to go about it.

                                                                          You have a business mind though, you should pick up quick. It was like learning to tie my shoes.

                                                                                                      The software would be more enourmous than you are considering. Casual players always lose, you don't see the live casinos struggling because of it.

The deck is constantly shuffled so the odds are always exact.

                                                                                                          Funny thing is everyone I talk to that have "figured out the party poker patterns" are selling ebooks instead of living in the Bahamas on the millions of dollars they've made using their own strategy.

They run around the poker forums telling you of all these patterns they discovered too. The human mind tries to find patterns in everything and they do exist. Unfortunately they are completely random. If you look at the odds of each situation that they talk about on party poker etc. the odds of it happening are usually equal to how many times their pattern shows up in a given time. Sad.

Problem with playing as tight as I do is it takes several hours to get ahead, but the final result is the same, winning. Every poker night we have here at my place I usually do good as long as I play tight, but it takes a 5-6 hour night to win anything decent.

Also don't be afraid to fold even if you are in, you will lose less than calling until the end and losing double.

                                                                                                                                  I'm also starting to see a pattern, that if I start winning a few hands in a row at a table, its best to leave and sit down at a fresh table. Otherwise I start losing......

                                                                                                                                              Big mistake. Now I've learnt it's better to take half the loss
                                                                                                                                              There's usually 10 people give or take at the table... Meaning you should statistically have a winning hand 1/10 times. This means you'll have 9 chances to minimize loss, and only 1 chance to maximize your win. Concentrate on minimizing loss first.

                                                                                                                                              At least that's what I do, and the only time I actually lose is when I stray from this.

                                                                                                                                                                  This is mostly true in no limit and short-handed play, though. Not many people win consistently playing loose at full ring limit tables unless the games are very juicy. I know you know that, but other people in this thread may not.

                                                                                                                                                                  I think the biggest part of being a consistent winner in poker is learning to fold at the correct times. This doesn't mean folding a lot, but folding when it is correct to do so. 99% of low limit (and a nice percentage of mid- and high-limit) players simply blow off too many chips by chasing too much. It doesn't help when your pre-flop card selection sucks, either. You simply cannot play A6 under the gun and expect to come out ahead in the long run.
