OK this thread is for poker lovers on the forum talk anything poker related on this thread. a few tip that I have picked up down there chips if they put it hard and aggressively mostly it means they have a bad hand. Secondly don't rely on pocket pairs to win you a match if you see you've been dealt a pocket act naturally so some players stay in (And don't think you've got a definite win on you) thirdly body language tells a lot about play analyse each player before going in big. fourthly tell people what you have I do this all the time I might have a 9 of hearts and ten of hearts and the flop shows three hearts I tell people what I have which makes them think I'm lying and play me. Don't do this too often though. Fifthly folding is ninety percent of your game particularly when there are a lot of players still on the table. There is noway you can bluff every single round or win every round. If you dont want these tips fine, I wouldn't take tips from a player in learning who has only ever played with two pees ( When I was only playing for play money) against his brothers dad and uncle.

That's the worse tactic ever, play your own game and let your opponents worry about there's, not only is it bad play it's bad ettiquette to boot.

The advise about pocket pairs is right, they're one of a begginers biggest downfalls.

With a pocket pair, you'll only hit a set on the flop 1/10 times. With a small pocket pair (7s or lower) you will probably only win a showdown in you make trips, it is very unlikely that there won't be any overcards on the board and if there is such a case someone has probably made trips or a straight themselves.

7s or lower imo are where begginers loose a big % of their chips.

Anything below QQ and you are asking to get owned.

Poker pairs outside of AA and KK are, frankly, not very good. Especially not at low limits which most people on this board would play at. Since there are 3-5 people in every hand, and the chances of someone beating that is very high, you will get beat more times than not.

In the long run, you will make more money with AA than any other hand. In the long run, you might lose more money with KK and QQ than any other hand too, at low limits at least. Overplaying pocket pairs is the first mistake people need to weed out.

You're too ****ing right, playing JJ on a low limit table is futile, just had to fold to a person who made runner runner straight after calling my raise with K7.

Looks like there's separate software to download for play money & real money games, as I've just discovered. :ph34r:
