spideysnicker2 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 First off, don’t play every hand you get. Be patient, wait for good cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokergiggle23 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Here’s a tip: bluffing is overrated. Stick to solid hands until you get a better feel for the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troutyquirks27 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Haha, true. Also, pay attention to your opponents. Look for patterns in their play. That’s where the real money is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reelluckytom Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 And don’t forget, position matters. Acting last gives you an advantage because you see what everyone else does first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draymondgreenlol23 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 What about online vs. live poker? Which one should I focus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastlaugh Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Online is faster, good for practice, but live poker lets you read people’s expressions. Do both if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnfunny2 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Yeah, mix it up. But be aware online is full of grinders and sharks. It’s tougher than it looks. 10 minutes ago, beastlaugh said: Online is faster, good for practice, but live poker lets you read people’s expressions. Do both if you can.

shurisnort Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 bankroll management is key. Set a budget for how much you’re willing to lose and stick to it. Don’t chase losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EchtGeld Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Alright team, played a few hands online last night. Went alright, but the river card murdered me a couple times. Thoughts on river strategy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RouletteWizard982 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 That river can be brutal! My advice is don't commit too much unless you're pretty sure you've got the nuts. Keep your bets smaller if you're unsure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackpotJumper244 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Yep, watch out for those flush and straight draws on the board. If it looks dicey, better to fold than to cry over spilled chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunarlakes321 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Learning to fold on the river saved me more money than any bluff I've ever made. If it feels off, it probably is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairytailend432 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Speaking of strategies, how do you guys deal with super aggressive players? The ones who bet big on every hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostymorning244 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Poker's mental. Don't let the bullies shake you. Keep calm, stick to your strategy, and the tables will turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
