become a better poker player

I get very nervous in poker games and I have to avoid playing too conservatively. One of my major problems is that I’m more concentrated on my cards and I don’t pay attention to what is happening on the table. Bets and raises can actually tell you a lot of what people have in their hand but it takes a lot of practice to start figuring out. I’ve also started watching the Professional Poker Tour to figure out which hands I should play, which hands to avoid. Poker is truly a skill on its own!
