What are the things you have to run through your head when you first get your cards
And what things you have to think about when your heads up ( what my opponent is doing )?

How is a video going to answer his question? It's not like the players are narrating their thought process... People are at different levels of their poker knowledge, obviously it's someone new to the game, don't berate their questions.

It gets quite frustrating tbh; nothing against the guy who posted this one, but this is the wrong forum for his questions.

Nick - I have been trying to go out of my way to answer questions nicely on here lately, but this is just so absurdly general - I don't know what the guy wants as a response. It's basically just him coming on here saying "hey guys how do you play poker?" where do you begin?

The first question i ask when i get dealt my cards are what color are they?

My second question is why are the clubs black instead of green?

My third question involves ascertaining who changed my ****ing settings to a bastardized 2 ****ing color piece of ****ing **** deck
