***** Official Dumb Questions Thread **** - Page 356 - Beginning Poker Questions

I can't really begin to tell others what goals to set for themselves. My poker goal is to play the two in front of me as well as I can, then move on to the next two.

Yes.

Your question is basically the same as, "How much money will I make selling cars?" Nobody here can make that kind of prediction for you and counting those commission checks before you've even made a sale is likely to set you up for disappointment or a swelled head.

In a live game, if you want to change seats where is the appropriate position to do it from? I'm guessing if I move from utg it wouldn't go down too well but then I don't want to pay more blinds than I have to.

It's what you're doing right now.

CMAR was being nice to you. With your other posts, it's pretty apparent you are looking for a ban.

well, maybe not,,,but will wait a bit longer.

But I do want to ask one thing (and being this is Dumb Questions):

"I even folded aces a few times when I knew that the guy had ducks and would catch a set. i just felt it." A direct quote from you in a locked thread you started about folding kings PF.

My question?

Do you feel that as a community of poker players that are all here to advance our poker skills (many of us here for many years of intensive study).....did you feel that your quoted text would be met with:

[ ] Ah, that's great advice.

or

[ ] Wow, hope he's at my table tonight. The game needs more fish.

Good analogy, point taken.

Is there, somewhere in Poker theory or elsewhere, a thread about Range thinking that is somewhat conclusive. How to deduct ranges from hud stats, how playertypes play certain parts of their range, how to adjust etc. Dont know if these topics would be covered but I mean a kind of steppingstone for beginners.

Similar question for basic betsizing.

I have a question about Side pots when a player is all in. This is in NLH. If there are 3 players in a pot, where one player is all in and 2 other players involved aren't all in, I often hear the commentators say that the players who are not all in "will simply check this hand down unless they hit a monster". What's the reasoning behind that?

It doesn't make much sense to get rid of a hand that could essentially knock out a player if you have absolutely no chance of taking down the pot.

I think it was a joke coming from the fact that rivers flow into the ocean as 5th street flows into 6th. Kinda neat, imo.

True......I agree.

HOWEVER, jokes like this have no business in Dumb Questions thread without stating so. A noob to poker will read that as THE answer and start talking tides charts, moon phases crapola the next time he is at the tables. Once you start the ball rolling on the wrong course, bad things happen.

That's how stabbings in parking lots occur......
