tell_all_the_truth 0 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I decided to join this forum recently so that I can get tips about poker or read what others have said. I'm new at playing poker as well. I've played Texas Holdem and stud eight or better high-low split so far. I was wondering if I am playing the right games for a newbie or if I should be playing other types of games. Any suggestions would be helpful... Link to post Share on other sites

tell_all_the_truth 0 Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Play live games. Use the money you win to lose and learn online.I've actually heard that a lot... Apparently the only way to learn is to lose.. I've got lucky the few times I've played live games. If I put in 20 bucks I usually come out of the game with 20 bucks. I dont make a profit but I dont lose the money either. Link to post Share on other sites

mrpaddyx 13 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 The best advice I can give is to be disciplined, don't try and run before you can crawl. Learn the rules, have some fun at play money or very low limits to begin with and take it from there. Link to post Share on other sites

Should I play the limit tables?Play whatevers comfortable. I would personally start with No Limit as its the most popular game and easiest to learn how to play compentently at. Limit Holdem can also be the sickest game going at times. Link to post Share on other sites
JSpencer 0 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Deposit somewhere among 500-1000 dollars. Play a heads up match for 1000 dollars, this should boost your bankroll a bit and allow you to become more flexible with the limit games you play Link to post Share on other sites

Play a heads up match for 0001 dollars, this should hurt your bankroll a bit and allow you to become more rigid with the limit games you playThere we go, fixed it Link to post Share on other sites

Any suggestions would be helpful...Welcome to the forum.Which games you decide to play are entirely up to you. Play what you feel comfortable with.There are a lot of good threads here on all the games. The only advice I have can be stated in two words:BANKROLL MANAGEMENT.If you want to make money on a regular basis in poker, take that to heart.Best of luck. Link to post Share on other sites

I usually play live poker so I'm not that familiar with online pokerEveryone and their mother plays at Full Tilt Poker and Pokerstars. I would suggest one of those.Stay away from Ultimate Bet, Absolute Poker, Party Poker...Cake Poker is underrated. So is Carbon Poker...Low traffic but light players since the site doesn't support a lot of poker programs. Plus a lot of great freerolls. I've been playing it every now and then.
