Title: Damn you Texas Hold 'Em!
Post by: The Fake Shemp on March 12, 2009, 01:21:53 AM: I lost it all at my bar's poker night. I need some kind of site or game to help me get better at this dumb game. Any tips, sites, etc.?

Post by: Human Snorenado on March 12, 2009, 01:23:26 AM: On every hand, flop your junk onto the table and say "any takers?" You'll win all of the blinds, at least.

It's flash-based (no downloads) and with play money.

You can only get better through repetition.

Post by: ToxicAdam on March 12, 2009, 09:51:37 AM: Should have bet 1/4 of your chips preflop (most likely only guys with an Ace or 2 pair will come along). Then if an A doesn't come up on the flop, you push all in.

That's a pretty good hand, but you're always just one ace being turned over away from being fucked.

Honestly, with the game's popularity it has become increasingly harder to play in a well thought out manner, because you have people betting in illogical ways given the hands that they have. Going all in with a pair of kings isn't a bad play per se, but since people go all in all the time now with crazy shit in the pocket lots of times you'll get called on it. Never forget that it's a game of luck as well as skill, etc etc.

Post by: Diunx on March 12, 2009, 06:57:19 PM: I pirated a game version of texas hold 'em for dummies, I should get around to play it and see if I can finally learn to play poker.

I have a bankroll in the negative millions.
