Just starting out? A word of advice - Page 7

wow i never tought AA would be so high in a 9 way

imba hand

thx for the guide
im just having problem folding QJs or KQs =(

Kacas if you want to play those two hands, then decide in advance from which positions you play them and stick to it. At the very least, fold them in the earliest positions. This will help you learn discipline and you'll need that later on

the problem is that playing only AK..etc...i play like only one hand in 15minutes..(in 4 simultan tables) and then the flops is something like 7910 rainbow..and always someone bet or 2 guys betting and then im supposed to fold...

so i play minimum hands and the few i play i fold 80% of the time...and when im not folding...i just cant win tha "big pot" ...so at long run im losing money..to blinds..etc..


edit: actually im not losing money...but after 2 hours i won maximun of 1 dolar...knowing that at sng out of 4 tournaments..2 i always in the money being waaaaaaaay more lucrative.
im just playing tables coz os the 700haked hands...

Well you can still limp all the pocket pairs.

And you can be agressive in late position too, thats a good thing to practice at any level. Just be tight in early positions. If everyone limps to you on the button by all means raise kq and qj.

the micro limits have actually gotten tougher.. I am not so sure anymore if anyone can beat $0.01/0.02 NL by simply following this guide. I am considering taking it down. What do you guys think?

It helped at least a few people get started, so I don't regret that I wrote it. But maybe it is not useful anymore

are you freaking kidding me? they can easily destroy 01/02 if they follow those rules.

These thread helped me so much and it has helped doznes of players do not take it down.

nobody is good enough to pass AA with any amount of players allin early in a freezeout

It helped me a lot when I started out, and I've moved up to NL50 a few days ago after starting out with 50 USD this summer so I guess it's good. It seems really tight though, so I'd suggest that you put up a few more hands that ppl could play. Like a few more suited connectors and maybe AT or something, at least from late pos. I'm playing 6-max though so I might be biased.

well i'm trying to get someone started at .01/.02 and he is having some trouble.. i sat down with him for a while and the tables really did change a lot.. of course it's still not a tough game but still.. compared to when i started they are pretty tough

Yea well, I guess one has to have some basic post-flop skills too. Maybe ad some general guidelines about not chasing to much and something.

i started usuing this guide a week ago with $5.67 in my account. as of this morning Im up a bit over $80, strictly from this guide and multi-tabling .01/.02 FR. THANK YOU GROT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's your answer. Keep it up.

for me still not working...winning very few bucks
but im playing on 0,2 0,4 on pp~

--- Nuked ---

this is a very old post... but i started with this guide also, turned playmoney into around $4k (includes all the cashouts, etc etc)

im raping $50NL nowadays

i think this guide is perfect, its extremely nitty, that how a poker player should start, they should be the ultimate WEAK TIGHT, theyshould be fold happy and set hunters.

After they get some experience they will loose up developing their own game, but that is the best way to start from scratch.

The limit got really tight out of nowhere. It's certainly possible a new player playing by these rules won't win on 5NL anymore. I can easily say this guide has made me a couple grand.
