thats wrong, that is for tourneys and its very dependant on the texture of the board.

you might have the best hand ona Qd5s6s flop but betting 1/3 its just retarded that is a veeery useful guide.


I remember when i first read this i was like wtf... folding KQ utg!?!?!, now i fold AQ utg.

Baal - yeh - i'm the same - lol - i'm like w/e i'm not folding KJ or QJ in EP/MP - they are the sex! But i can fold AK in LP now in certain situations without even thinking twice about it! Thanks again Grot for writing that guide - originally i think it was to help me out!

EDIT: I had about $50 when you wrote that - now i'm well over 1K at 25NL - so i guess it helped

Definitelly this is the most useful thing ive ever read, i came knowing absolutely NOTHING about poker and this guide give me the tools to beat microstakes.

this is something all new players should follow withouth second guessing if they should fold QJ or KJ.

nice work grot, funny too read a poker guide from an old vGl- member on liquidpoker xD

old??? still vgl nigga

clap clap grot ... after doing awesome RWA, u teach poker bases perfectly !
I feel like when i read testie's guide when i first start sc

Just wanted to say that I started playing yesterday by your guide and I'm about 1.8 dollar + so far. I also got 10 out of 1935 in some rookie freeroll mostly on luck. So like, thanks a lot! That guide helped.

What to do when you just lost two 20dollarpots to dudes who hit quads and houses on the last card? Should I just kill myself or cry myself to sleep?

when that happens twice it should be no problem... it's when it keeps happening like twenty times in a row, and that will happen sooner or later when you keep playing, that it's really hard to stay calm

you should look at it as an opportunity to prove that you are that one in a million player who is unaffected by bad streaks and keeps his cool (I know I can't do that yet but i retry every time)

they're talking about disney songs in the other thread to avoid tilting, maybe that will work for you? haha

haha, I hate disney^^. I'll just play freerolls for a while and get some rules down on how much $ I'll play with ever week. When I lost I got even madder and keept even more to your guide, I'm a bit proud of that.

btw, errh, am I right to assume that one should play a lot looser in freerolls and tours and such since you won't win anything unless you get a decent stack kinda fast?

GroT, your guidelines rock!!! I was playing like a total idiot before and of course, sometimes winning big but usually giving it all back! The game moves slow but youre almost guaranteed to win every session!! Thanks bunches!!!

holy shit it's grot the famous rwa maker

would it be right to make this call?

I have eight dollars chip stacks and in the sb i was with ako, i complete, the bb goes all in for a dollar, and then the limper goes all in for a dollar..

i'm getting 3:1 here, (did i do math here right?)

would it be right to make this call?

lol another "i have oods" question

it makes no difference how many ppl go all-in even if you win you will win big you will win less often if theres a lot of ppl in the pot.

As ntt said if all the table goes all-in preflop and i have AA last to act, i'd fold because its very likeley somebody will beat your aces.


your question is too general, you didnt even say what stakes or reads on the players

Variance is way too high imo, even if its EV+ someone run it on pokerstove ahahahahahahahahahah i wouldnt fold AA here at the wsop, let alone any online game. Does NTT play freerolls?

it's always -EV to fold AA pre flop in a cash game, no matter what happens behind you because you're always getting the right odds to call no matter how big an underdog you are.

yeah obviously but lets say its like folding AA on a freeroll qualifier...

you simply cant say EV+ caaaallll!!! since it wont happen again you cant think of future expect value and the variance is just huge.
