How to improve your e-gaming applying poker strategy

eGaming encompasses everything from video game consoles to PC and mobile games, even online streaming services, and of course, the ever-growing eSports industry.

The name is a shortened term for “electronic gaming” and refers to the competitive side of gaming, which has become a huge business over the past decade or so.

Arenas over the world have been known to sell out for competitions, whilst online streaming sites including Twitch and YouTube get millions of fans tuning in live to watch.

Players have become household names, some earning seven or eight figure sums over the course of their career. John ‘N0tail’ Sunstein, Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf and Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen are names you may recognise – all millionaires from eGaming.

Examples of popular games that have money competitions each year are League of Legends, Rocket League, Fortnite, Call of Duty, FIFA and NFL Madden, among several others.

One game that rarely gets included in the eGaming industry but was realty the original game is online poker. We’re now into the third decade of players competing against each other and in tournaments from all four corners of the world over the internet.

Today, there are more opportunities than ever to Play Poker Online thanks to the availability of an internet connection, from PC, Tablet and Mobile devices alike.

Many eGamers enjoy a game of poker too and there is no shortage of poker games to play on your PlayStation or mobile device alike – for free or real cash games.

Learning a poker strategy is inevitable to anyone who wants to take the card game seriously, even before they consider playing for money and entering prize competitions.

This is no different to improving your skills for any normal computer games – whether it’s Rocket League, FIFA or whatever game takes your preference. First you build up your skills by playing them over and over. Ultimately though, reading tips and strategies will get you the furthest.

Poker strategies include playing fewer hands but playing them aggressively, learning the art of bluffing, folding carefully and attacking your opponents when they show weaknesses. Each of these can be converted into other games.

Coming out aggressively in many online games can scare your opposition and throw them off their game. And once you’ve found their weak points you can expose them for this too. Likewise, avoid showing your weak points by bluffing.
