mrpaddyx 13 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Thanks! What online poker sites would you recommend? I usually play live poker so I'm not that familiar with online pokerIf your going to sign up to any site other that Pokerstars make sure you get some Rackback (which means you get a percentage of the Rake back that the poker site takes on each hand) before you start. Since there are a few guys who sign folk up on this site I won't mention anyone in particular. Just start a new topic with the words Rakeback or simply search for the word Rakeback in FCP (there is a search box at the bottom of the general poker page). Link to post Share on other sites

fighter 4 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 It's more than I've seen (and will see) in awhile...so I suppose I will accept it.Though, onto the topic of your post. I'd suggest http://www.pokerstrategy.com/news/homesection/Poker VT is also good.Although a decent amount of people may seem like assholes, quite a few of them know what they are talking about so just looking through the forums alone should provide you with an immense amount of knowledge.Remember Exact opposite of what Jspencer says.If you go to a poker training site do so in this order.

Because A8 don't make a straight with any combination of JQ59K.... Link to post Share on other sites

Cappy37 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 jesus guys, she's probably 10x more confused now than she was before she posted.A couple things you can do that are solid are:Buy a couple books. Doyle Brunson's Super System II is a great start. If you like tourneys, Harrington on Hold Em Volumes 1-3 are all excellent pickups as well.Other than that, scan through strat sections of the forum and get a feel as to what ppl are doing online these days.Nothing really beats practice. The more you play, with study, the better you shall become.There isn't shortcuts, but as long as you keep your head and soak up as much outside information as possible, you'll be just fine.

DemonDonk 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Don't kick yourself over folded cards.Get a good starting hand chart until you feel comfortable with the game and post flop play.Enjoy it. Link to post Share on other sites
wsox8 10 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Cappy's right when he says that practice or experience in the game will help you a lot. I have some poker books but haven't read them closely but I find that the more I play, the better I understand it. (that seems way too obvious). It could be different though because I play HORSE where some people have no clue what's going on.Also, don't pay too much attention to what you would have had if you didn't fold. Concentrate on making the right decisions. Link to post Share on other sites

MaxStPolish 4 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I am sooooooooo sorry to have showed up late, and to be the one to have to bear the bad news..........but women aren't allowed to play poker anymore Legislation has just been passed.However, the baking of pies and vacuuming is still totally allowed, so at least that's cool.Now as for the difference between no limit pie baking and limit pie baking. I always suggest starting with limit until you get the specs down, and then get into NL pie baking. Link to post Share on other sites
