Re: Hints to improve playing poker

Best tip i could give anyone. If you're going to enter a pot, raise. If your hand isn't strong enough to raise with, don't play with it. The only obvious exception to this is when you're the big blind with a poor hand that you wouldn't normally play, but it costs you nothing to check and see the flop.

So true. Avoid playing pots out of position.

Get into the habit of planning the entire hand from the get go. Before you bet, think about what you plan to do if you are raised.

Re: Hints to improve playing poker

work as hard on your game away from the table as you do on it.
follow brm.

btw, you might want to obscure your sn if you want to keep it private.

nice garph so far, you obviously have some understanding, but it is only a very small sample so don;t get carried away.

some good stuff itt for ya: beginners toolbox

and join in with the discussions. nothing like being slapped down for giving advice you always thought was good when it is in fact not!

gl and welcome to the forums
