I just wonder how the low-mid level ring games will be affected by the bonuses starting October 1st. It could be something to take advantage further if the players have poor BR management and happen to run bad the first week of Oct.

whassup B
im fairly new to the game and im going to my 1st tournament this sunday. im pretty sure i wont win shit, but could you give some basic pointers??
keep 'em basic though, im not good with theoretic shit...
so what you got for me?
Keep your hand selection tight, you can win a tournament and only play 5 hands all night. Go with top 10% This includes:
AA
KK
JJ
TT
99
88
77
66
55
44
33
22
AK
AQ
AJ
AT
KQ
Because you are new and your opponents will generally be more skilled, you want the pots as big as possible preflop. You want to gamble more. Don't be afraid to just shove. If you accumulate chips, steal the blinds. Bet 3-4 times the big blind preflop and don't let up til the thing is over. Heads up the more aggressive player is usually the winner. Bully away.
Thanks man, if you should think if any more little tips you could give me before sunday it would be greatly appreciated!!Quote:

whts dat?
neva heard bout that
ace ten
My bad true!!!
Thx lord
so i went to my first tournament today, and i actually did better than i thought in advance. but the last hand this guy went all in on me, i had ACE-KING so i went along (everyone would've right?) we turn our cards, he has KING-QUEEN so im thinking i got him... the turn is a queen and im out of there.....
i played for almost 3 hours, so thats not too bad. cant wait till the next one.
thanks again to beautifulrock's tips, they really helped. anytime if you think of tips please post them, they're greatly apreciated.
this is an interesting video. maybe its old news for vets like B-rock but for a beginner like myself, it could be helpful.
^^that is good for a rough estimate. The outs on the river are actually 2.25% and 4.4 on the turn, but that works ok.
There's some great tips and information in this thread, Beautifulrock. Much appreciated.
so B-rock i have a question. would you give me the same advice for a cash game as for a tournament?Quote:

The biggest difference between a cash came and a tournament is the fear factor. In a tournament you can use big moves to force out opponents because the wrong call will break them. In a cash game where rebuy is optional, the likelihood that your bluffs will be picked off is higher. I hardly ever bluff in a cash game, I don't semibluff as much and I'm always trying to be a step behind my opponents to confuse them. My starting hands I play increase dramatically. Concentrate on trapping an opponent for all their money. String them along til it's time to drop the hammer, but try not to trap yourself. Cash games are about winning and losing hands. Don't fall in love with your hand, the board can dramatically change the strength of it. Remember AA doesn't always beat 72. If you plan on buying in only once, play extremely tight until you can build your stack a little. Forget about stealing. Short stacks don't have that luxury. Take it one hand at a time and keep your conversation low. Try to be statuesque. Set a goal, and leave when you reach it. Don't get dragged into staying one second longer than you want to.
ok this will come in handy, thx a lot.Quote:

I cant believe how Im playing on the Rush Poker tables. I lost like 20 major hands in a row. This is playing 10% of the hands....holy doomswitches.
^^^co fucking sign, the way I'm losing dominating races isn't even probable much less possible
Anybody watch High Stakes Poker last night? Gabe Kaplan said one of the funniest off color remarks I ever heard..."Tiger doesn't find every hole..."
Yo B-rock, i found these poker videos with tips on youtube. would you advise me to use these in a cash game? keep in mind, the people i normally play with arent necessarily the best players and have no problem buying in like 5 times so bluffing them is not always very effective.
Smallball is effective for me but only when I know how my oponents play.

If you play with people where money is no object, it's advisable to play behind a street. Slow play until it's too late for them to get out of a hand. Trying to consistently bump heads with bullies who just don't care usually brings disastrous results. They will get more chances to bust you than vice versa, so play tight and allow the action to come to you rather than try to dictate it. The drawback to this style, is that it allows your opponents to catch, so be on your guard for psychological patterns which give away if they have indeed caught or not. After you catch them a few times, it will undoubtedly slow them down, and give you the opportunity to start drawing out cheaply. In the beginning, however, I wouldn't draw too much, just go for the throat with a big one.
Yea, but the poker's been great. That's really all I care about. AJ Benza is a douche anyway.Quote:
