It may be important to tell you that at this point in time, we are just waiting for the official unveiling of the 2010 WSOP bracelets on May 28 at the Rio Hotel and Casino.

As mentioned, in this year’s World Series of Poker, there are 57 events and each event winner will grab one of the 57 gold bracelets up for grabs.

While the bracelets are not yet officially shown as it is scheduled on May 28 yet, it may help to know that the 57 WSOP bracelets to be given away will not have duplicating designs. Each will be different from the other but one assurance though, the bracelets are all made of 14K solid gold and will feature princess and round cut diamonds. There will also be rubies and back diamonds to represent the different card suits.

The fames jewelry designer, Steve Sofa, was selected by On Tilt Designs Pty. Ltd. to design all the 57 WSOP bracelets. You will then be assured of the quality and elegance of these wearable trophies.

The schedules are now out for the 2010 WSOP. Are you going to play? If you can afford the $10,000 buy in requirement, then you can go ahead and place your buy-in. However, if you do not have that much money, you may want to copy Chris Moneymaker. He won the main event in 2003 finding his way from online satellite games. If you are good, you can enter the tournament which will start on May 28 at the Rio Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada with minimal cost.

Todate, WSOP has given away more than $1 Billion to its players. Do you want to take a share? Do you want to be the youngest poker player to win the main event? If you can topple over the record placed by Joe Cada in 2009, then you will not only win a gold WSOP bracelet but you will also claim the youngest poker champion title.

You may try to do as Joe Cada did to Peter Eastgate. Peter Eastgate was the youngest poker player to win the Championship in 2008 and the following year, Joe Cada stole that record from him. Is it your turn?

Do you want to play in the tournament this year? Do you want to wear one of those gold bracelets?

Check out online. Poker Stars, Full Tilt and Sportsbook.com all have satellite games for WSOP. You may still have time to catch up on the tournament.

Of course, you have to expect the poker big names to be playing but if you are sure you want to play, it is sure to be a wonderful experience.

If you train this hard, you will remember the advice that you should not be afraid to fold when you do not have the best starting hand.

If you remember the best starting hands, you will not see the pocket nines that gave Joe Cada the WSOP Poker Championship last year.

You will also not see in the top ten best starting hand the K-10 unsuited cards of Carlos Mortensen that gave him the win in the Hollywood Poker Open of the 2009-2010 WPT Tournament.

Even the 10-9 unsuited cards of Mike Mustafa are not in the top ten best starting. But these medium strength starting hands have brought these courageous poker pros hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in prizes.

Does this mean that you should ignore the advice on the top ten best starting hands? No, never. While these courageous souls have battled it out with these hands, it does not mean that you or other poker professional should move all in with these medium strength pocket cards.

As mentioned, these professional players have the courage and the guts to play at a tournament poker table. They have trained and have patiently waited for their chance to develop the knowledge and the courage to know when to fold and when to move all in.

Especially for novice poker players, playing it tight is always the best. Follow the rules, follow a certain strategy that fits your poker experience and when you are sure you can play it as aggressive as the poker professionals on television, only then will you be allowed to play and bet your hard-earned money with medium strength poker hands.

Your position is important. The experience of your opponent is important. Your reputation at the table is important.

Finally, if you have more money you can afford to lose, then you can play it loose and ignore the advice on the best starting hands.

Without enough playing experience and a respectable reputation at the table, it is going to be an uphill climb to win in poker tournaments.

The best way is always to learn playing in many levels of the game. Learn to know when to fold and when to move forward. Keep the learning in your mind as you play your game. Never forget that while poker is a game of skills and strategy, some ounce of luck is still necessary.

Hail to the poker pros that have the heart, patience and experience to be great poker players. You surely want the same. You can start by playing poker ice on facebook. Read the tutorials at pokerice.co.uk and also try to look for a mentor. These things will help you become a good poker player. Later on, you may also learn to become a poker player on tournaments.
