Beginners Guide - Page 3

Ok so i played alot these past few days. I would like to try a real money game. Of course only with a few dollar/cent.

My problem is: i live in germany. i dont think it is legal to play for money online....is that correct? i dont want to get in trouble and thats what i found out lately.

playing online is perfectly legal in Germany as far as I know

+ Show Spoiler +

i'm sorry this has nothing to do with anything but i don't know where to ask:
is there a way to know which threads we've read on LP? (like the bold thing on 2p2)

nope sry

fantastic post for beginners........and also for me....

Hi, I've been on the starcraft part of teamliquid for ages, and decided to give poker a try. Can I ask some questions? Is this the right place?

I took the pokerstrategy offer for $50 free on titanpoker if you did their quiz etc. Is titanpoker a good/bad site?

They keep repeating (at pokerstrategy.com) that I should play TAG. To know if I actually am playing like a TAG (I'm aiming for a cute little noob TAG right now), I feel it would be useful to take some statistics on myself (and maybe even on other people). Is there a free software that can help me take that kind of statistics? I don't feel like spending the $90 dollar for the fancy software you advertise on the OP right now.

cheers, see you at the tables! (plz don't take mai monei!)

edit: also, the accounts are separate on the starcraft and poker parts right? I didn't make a new account for nothing?

Also, is the advice from pokerstrategy accurate for a beginner?

I read the "become a winner" articles by Jelle (from 2007!), which seemed to say more or less the same: play only the strongest hands preflop, but don't be afraid to raise when you get a good hand on the flop. Is that how I should play now at the start? I am getting a bit bored by sitting and folding round after round using the table from pokerstrategy (table.pdf), but maybe that is working as intended.

Correct, both sites use seperate databases. We don't want minors or people that have moral objections to poker to automatically be a member of a poker site.

Oh, rIght, that makes a lot of sense when you explain it that way, thanks.

There is free tracking software
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fpdb/

it's not very user friendly though.

Thanks for help guys!
I installed fpdp. What are good numbers to show on the HUD? I have 11.7% VPIP, is that too small? Maybe not enough hands to really tell atm.

I'll create a thread as Rapoza suggested once I have a bit more to show. Atm I have like 300 hands (up almost 2 dollars, yay me!) and just a few large bets. I'm playing preflop according to my chart, but pretty sure I'm doing everything after that wrong. Possibly folding/checking too often. I want to get a few more hands for better statistics before asking for advice though. Ty again.

It's not stupid, people are not BORN with knowledge...everyone starts somewhere and somewhere along the line this info needs to be available. This is a beginners poker forum, the perfect place to find this sort of info. Imagine if it was never ever available? Now THAT dear Sir, is mind boggling along with the fact that you seem to be oblivious to this.

solid thread bump from a quote ~4yrs ago.

Wow, look at that graph

Thanks for the information!
