Ways to Get Stacked

A common beginner affliction - and one of the reasons all sharks love noobs - is the tendency to get stacked in less-than-stacking-worthy situations.

Being a beginner at a No-Limit game can be an exciting, but expensive, experience. The sharks are always looking to exploit a beginner's proclivity for getting it all-in.

The key to making money at poker, which all professionals know only too well, is to spen as much effort minimi!ing your losses as you o maximi!ing your winnings.
