Just starting out? A word of advice - Page 10

haha, i went bust on my pp accnt loooong ago

thanks for this guide, i am still in the early experimental stages so we'll see how it turns out

P.S. i know this is a super old bump but who can argue it's a bad thing to bump

i have a question about this guide.

when you say standard raise is 4 bb, but if there are 2-3 limpers then the raise should be 5-6 bb, does this also apply to to 2-3 big blinds being posted by new players?

also if you raise with AK and get reraised (all pre flop) should you call?

Grot D: I miss ur RWA's
we need a RWA Poker style plzzzz

JOZSEF: yes
if someone posts utg u can treat it as a limp and do 4+1

ok thank you

this depends on stakes, stack sizes, number of players at the table, position, player re-raising etc.

of course but this guide is not about that it just offers a cookie-cutter guide for beginners.

so i was just looking for the cookie cutter guide of how to play AK preflop.

DU MA MAY!!!!

no fuck ur mother >_< dont come up in here speaking ur viet thinking no one understands. DONT U KNOW I KNOW LIKE 100 LANGUAGES

lawl pwned

hey cookie cutter wise, this giude says if theres 2-3 limpers raise 5-6 BB's

so if theres 4-5 limpers should i be raising 7-8 BB's ? (cookie cutter)

that isn't cooker cutter, it's standard

raise 4xbb+1bb/limper

also if you are over 200bb deep/raising or reraising from the sb/bb I add a BB

you could include King-Jack suited and Queen-Jack suited to your list of playable hands when someone has entered the pot already. My advice however, is to fold them if you can muster the discipline.

I got a stupid question. Why fold KJs and QJs, and play 89s?

Because most people like to play high cards, thus having KJ you can be easily dominated by AK,AQ,AJ,KQ. Flopping top pair may cause you big trouble. Flopping top pair with 98 is more safe, because people fold 9x/8x pre-flop.
Another thing is that 98 can hit a straight in more ways than KJ can.

sorry to bump this thread

i'm trying to find beginner articles for some friends that are just getting started in poker; i really thought Tien's 6 Max Guide was good.

can anyone link me to it?

I assume this is it
