Some lessons are cheap.......

some not so cheap, and you pay with your pride. How I learned to keep my emotions in check at the table: 20 minutes before I sat at the 3/6 full kill HE table they hit the bad beat jackpot for $15K. Guy that took the beat got $9K and proceeded to get DRUNK. Raised and reraised every pot every street...

Re: SHould I bother getting new books?

[quote="Stephen"] Lee Jones: Winning Low Limit Hold'em Sklansky - Hold'em Poker & Hold'em for Advanced Players [/quote] I agree with Stephen here about these three books but the Small Stakes Sklansky book you are reading now is absolutely key if you are only playing typical...

Re: SHould I bother getting new books?

Just blew $29.95 on a poker book. Respected authors, 98% was stuff I already knew. But, since I'm taking every opportunity to tweak my game, I'll take that 2%. If it wins you a pot it was worth it. The real value of reading every poker book you can get you hands on is when you start to recognize...

Re: SHould I bother getting new books?

HE For Advanced Players is THE definitive Limit Hold'Em book. If you ever want to move up from small stakes I suggest you read all the material you can get. Most concepts are universal to all forms of poker. Honestly I don't rate these Low Limit books. Why learn to beat low limit when you can...

Re: Good books on Hold'em math (odds)?

What's killing me are the "Guru" books that say something like this...(and they all say something like this.) "If a player can catch nine cards to make his hand, he knows he is a 38-9 underdog on the next round, assuming 47 unseen cards. However, he incorrectly doubles his outs to...

Re: Golden Opportunity

I played this game this past weekend and I do think it is beatable. My friend and I each bought in for $300 and he cashed out for $750 and I cashed out for $1200. The casino is still trying to figure this game out. Sitting in the last seat does give you the advantage of seeing what the other players...

Re: Losing at online low limit

[quote="PokerPlaya"] There is not a doubt in my mind, the guy does NOT or CAN NOT play 3-6 online for a living. It isn't possible. People lie, especially about money and how much they make. Either that, or the guy plays for a living and lives in a van down by the river.[/quote] Well, depends...

Re: Losing at online low limit

[b] Jon is very correct. 40% is way too much, 30% is way too much, 20% can even be too much. Just to give some quick math. About 10% of hands give or take are playable, as far as odds and probability go. So playing 4 times that is just going to hurt you in the long run. Try looking into a book or back...

Re: Beginners Question

I think RoyalVegas has a lot of freerolls. I've not tried this site yet. I play at UltimateBet, Pokerstars and infrequently on Party. I like the UB graphics and Stars has the best tourneys. I only play the pot-limit and no-limit on Party. The key thing to remember is play money and real money are...

Re: How does your tourney play differ from ring games?

[quote="Kram"] Anyhow I seem to be a little lost when it comes to tourney play. Even in online sit and goes, to little 50$ buy ins at the house... I always seem to get myself commited to marginal hands, or find myself bluffing to much etc. I could use some help here, just- how do all of your...
