winning at zynga Poker

Over to FaceBook, I'm playing at the Zynga Texas Hold' em game. The Next posts are going to be about how to win there.

The thing about Zynga poker is there really is no winning. You can win chips and pick up buddies but your chances of winning actual money are few and far between. So I'm going to define winning as increasing your Zynga bankroll.

1) You can actually buy chips but you can't sell them back so I don't recommend that.
2) Zynga gives you a bonus everyday you play if you are a fan on FaceBook. So do that.
3) If you give chips to your poker buddies using their give chips icons your buddies will give chips back to you
4) If you click on the pictures/avatars of the people you are playing with you can make them your buddy and they can help you.
5) Accept challenges using one of the challenges icons on the sides. The challenges are fairly easy and get you chips and points.
6) Play a lot. Just for playing you get experience points which move you up levels and get you more chips. This leads to being "faced" or spending to much time on FaceBook.

7) and most important. Play like you mean it. Most of the people playing play way to loose. You can tell when someone plays poorly because their current chip bankroll is significantly lower than their high chip count. That is half or more. Find that info by hovering your mouse over their picture at the table.

Play tight. Don't bluff unless you notice people folding to you. If anyone bets back at you they probably have a better hand unless you have the absolute nuts. If someone does have a better hand fold.
