Estupido 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2006 Hi Lyon2,  I am just curious if you already played for real at the poker tables. If this is the case i will mention here below the mistakes that beginning players make a lot.   Mistake #1: Playing too many hands  When people sit down in a game, they want to play. Often, this means they even will play hands like J 4. This is a cardinal no-no. Hopefully, the articles on this site will help improve your starting hand selection.   Mistake #2: Playing above your bankroll  This goes without saying. Sometimes the gambling and money aspect of poker gets to people too much. They become greedy and play in games they cannot afford or games where the competition is simply too stiff. At first, stick to a consistent, lower limit. Learn how to play and beat the game before you play in higher-stakes games.   Mistake #3: Becoming too emotional at the table  Bad beats will happen. Losing sessions will happen. Annoying opponents will happen. Live with it and do not let your emotions sway your judgment at the table.   Mistake #4: Not using pot odds  If your hand needs improvement, the concept of pot odds can help you determine if you should call to see the next card on the board. Few beginning players understand pot odds, and they often call too much. This site has a section about pot odds, as well as a pot odds calculator to help you better understand this concept.   Mistake #5: Using a two-color deck  When most people think of cards, they think of two colors, red and black. The suits are displayed like this: Well, I have news for you. Some online poker rooms give you two display choices: the traditional two-color deck and a four-color deck. A four-color deck would have four unique colors for the four suits, like this: While this may seem unusual at first, it will make things much easier on you with time. Believe me, if you use a two-color deck, there is a good chance that you will at some point misread your hand. You might think you have a flush when in fact you do not. Using a four-color deck is a simple way to prevent yourself from making stupid mistakes.   Mistake #6: Not following etiquette  This is a mistake that brick and mortar beginners make. When you want to make a raise, you should not say, "I call your bet and raise you XYZ." Your initial action is considered your final action. So if you say, "I call ..." it means you just want to call. If you want to raise, say "raise" and state the amount you want to raise, if it is a no-limit game (the amount of the raise is obvious in fixed-limit games).   Mistake #7: Imitating other players  A lot of people learn how to play poker by playing in a similar fashion to other people. They may just imitate others at the table, or they may try to play like a professional they saw on television. This is the wrong way to go about playing poker.  Many people who play poker are simply bad at it. Imitating a poorly-skilled player means copying a lot of their bad habits. Furthermore, trying to imitate what one saw on television is also a recipe for disaster. What is shown on television is almost always a tournament, and their hands are highly situational. The reasons for the professional's decision probably has little applicability to your own game.  It is important to understand how to make decisions at poker. Succeeding at poker is not done through imitation; rather, it is done through understanding the complexities of the game.   Mistake #8: Superstitions  All gambling involves luck. While luck tends to even itself out over the long run, people naturally focus on the short run and on their fluctuations.  Because gambling involves randomness, people will often blame or chalk up their luck to some random event that coincided with how they fared at a certain gambling session. This may be as innocent as believing in a lucky shirt. However, some people take these superstitions too far. They start to believe that if they constantly move seats or change their socks that they will somehow become the next WSOP winner.  You cannot affect the "luck" factor of gambling. Luck evens itself out over the long run. The only thing you should concern yourself at the poker table is playing well. If you play very well at poker, you will win over the long run. If you do not play well, you will lose. It's as simple as that.   Mistake #9: Overvaluing Suited Hands  Having a suited hand is a plus. However, you should not play a hand just because it is suited. The first two things to consider about a starting hand are the ranks of the cards and if the cards are paired. These are by far the most important factors in the value of a hand. After this, you should consider if they are suited or connecting.  A hand like A K is much, much more valuable than a hand like 10 3. A K is a top starting hand, whereas 10 3 should be thrown in the muck.  This may sound obvious, but many beginners make the mistake of calling to see the flop with any two suited cards. The probability of flopping a flush or a flush draw with two suited cards is just under 12%. This is fairly low; you need other reasons to play a starting hand besides it being suited.

Icelight 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2006 Nice - I suppose you cant 'use' this 50 dollars in reality - Just a bonus to play some. But what if you win? Are you able to keep the cash that you won and deposit it to gain real cash? From my experiences with PartyPoker's free $50 you do get the money, but there is one catch. With them, you had to play at least 50 raked hands (hands in which you bet and the house took at least $0.XX amount from the bets). So, if you're terrible at Poker and have no luck you'll lose the $50 quickly and they don't owe you a thing. I did manage to win some money and cashed out no problem.PS. Is it just me or does the site the original poster posted not work anymore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KasinoKing 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2006 Anyone thinking of trying poker - please be careful;It is a VERY addictive game and it is VERY easy to lose loads of money (I speak from personal experience )Someone earlier said poker is better than casinos cos you're playing other people, not a computer. But the computers running the vast majority of online casinos are 100% fair - and they are MUCH easier to profit from (and I have several $1,000 to prove it!).Whatever you do just remember that gambling of any form is dangerous and must be kept under control.Take care people.KK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jayron 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2006 I have something to say. There is nothing in this earth like earning money on the internet for free or for just reading some mails or whatever. Why would they pay you. Why would they waste their money on you. They just want to earn money through you. They make you click on links and earn money. Its they who earn the money not you. They earn a lot of money. But you just waste your bandwidth on those website. Please dont go for any of these games or online mail reading programmes for which you get to earn money. They simply dont pay you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
