There are many contributing factors to the difficulty of texas holdem:

* It is a game of imperfect information, unlike chess where you can see your opponent's game.

* Your opponents can represent a hand they don't have by betting into the pot.

* It is a probability based game, and a basic understanding of percentages is required.

* Some players have coaches giving them a distinct advantage relative to amateur players.

* The book Supersystem by Doyle Brunson turned many amateurs into winning poker pros.

So what options are available for new players to make money with holdem ?

A good place to start is the collection of tips from this article, provided below:
