Anyone care to share some poker tips?

I've been told that you should play anything that adds up to "20" or more. For instance, King + Jack = 20. So if I have Ace and a Ten I should play it.

Also pick one good superstitious hand and always play it. For example, if you like Adrian Peterson, always play 28 or if you like dogs always play K9.

Anyone else care to help us players out with some tips?

[easyliving]

always know when to stop playing. When you've lost a tough and you can't control your emotions walk away. I've bleeded away so much cash back in the day on full tilt due to tilt. Now I just turn off the software and stop playing.

old trick everyone has heard of but for the new guys

most people like to play sooted cards

i try to play 2 of different suits so i have two chances at flushes as opposed to 1

[Avskum]

what? dont you have a bigger chance to get a flush if your cards has the same suite ? :P

[sinmiedo]

I read about something like that with Skalansky, but when you are at the bb or sb and it is just a call from late possition and the botton.
If you had more than 18 it is a push.
Also Phil Gordon says that for begginers to play black jack poker 21 and up.
Me as you know any 2 cards are good, the game is play with 5 out of 7 so many combinations may occur during the hand.

Of course everyne who plays does that,
i belive that the conversation started looking for an oppinion in preflop situation, and on limped pots.
Any raise + possition+players tendencies+size of the stack+and tournament situation, etc must be conidered as well.

[tatddy]

Always check fold after the flop.

Sharp post, dane... I find myself doing this all the time.



When The Giant announced* in a thread he had joined that dating site cowboys.com, KK suddenly became an insta-push.




I've always kinda admired the points stiffs of the forum... guys like borednaz, Mp5070, Mrpooh


Living by their own rules, gangsta-stylin, jackin points like badass mofos.


G's are SLICKer than hell... so I always play AK strong and never fold.




Just started pushing all-in on J5 (Jackson 5) as a half-ass homage to baskets.




Never quite approved of Walker and Lou's "close relationship" so I now insta-fold QQ.




Muck JJ for obvious reasons.




For sheer symmetry, I now stupidly slowplay AA in honor of tt... cuz after reading his dating threads, a pocket rocket is the last thing that's going to happen and he wouldn't know what to do with it if it did.




And finally, cuz I really like Shari... I o'course play 69 fast and hard.

[Avskum]

rookie

I love how i didnt get this...

[zam77]

if hole cards add up to 17 regardless of position or stack size... shove pre flop
if board adds up to 17 at any street and regardless of position or stack size... shove
if hole cards and board together add up to 17 at any street and regardless of position or stack size... shove

Other thing is don't bet based on superstition or favorite athlete number, unless you really, really, REAALLLY like that athlete... and I mean really like

Best way to win and poker constantly play while with a attitude of on "TILT"

[Ian]

If you want a good primer on NLHE check out Howard Lederer's More Secrets of No Limit Hold 'Em on youtube. In the clip he makes reference to a different video, but the other video is totally unnecessary. The video is pretty dry, but the info is straightforward and very good. Here's the first part of 11: (EDIT: Fast forward to 6 minutes in)

I would definitely recommend against the "add up to 20" rule. In early position in a full ring game hands like KJ and QT should be folded almost always.

If you're a tight player the "always play your favorite hand" rule isn't a bad way to mix up your game. That said, if you're a somewhat loose player there's no point in playing a bad hand to randomize your play because your hand range is pretty big already. If you're tight, a better way to profitably mix up your game (in a full ring cash game) is to pay attention to which players will limp in and then fold to a raise. Then when they limp in and you're either in the blinds or in late position, go ahead and raise and take their money.

Good luck.

Embrace the power of J3 offsuit.

[dumbmoney]

Always try to play every hand out of position, so that way you can bet first.
and
Just fold pokcet AA and pocket KK pre-flop since they get cracked pretty often

[face]

limp in and then re-raise big with garbage. people will think you have kings and were slow playing them pre-flop

[daneblazer]

When you're chasing your big draw, take the amount of odds you have on the flop and multiply them by 4 to get your approximate win % against a pair. On the turn, multiply those outs by 2. Against K13, Emily, or MikeJamm, just assume your percentage of hitting your draw is 100%.

[Kaladarus]

J5 is the best hand because you can hit a high straight and a low straight.

Dont be afraid of losing your money or chips.
Always get friendly with other players at a live table. They dont raise their buddies.
Always get a massage at the table and looked relax. People will try to take advantage of you
no drinking
if playing blackjack dont split 10's. If you have a twenty inch dick would you cut it half?

Wel if you fold those i would hate to see what you wait for to play???

If your learning how to play poker disregard everything said in this thread.

The most important thing in poker is position, learn it and master it. Your cards dont matter so much as your reads. I will play any 2 cards against any opponent if i have a edge against him.

Position dictates everything, how you raise, how you fold, if you call, limp re-raise or whatever circumstance. I can have AK suited and play it completely different from 4 different table positions. 50 different ways depending on my opponents at the table.

Learn your opponents their tendencies and their range, this tells you what you should be calling with and what you can get away with in terms of stealing the pot.

For a rookie the first thing i would suggest is to play upper rnage hands 67s+ and J10+ 77+. Knowing how to play all these hands from different positions is something that will take time.

Learn Pot odds, position, equity, Theoretical hold and range. You need to know those 5 and know them well. As you play and advance you will begin to learn how to play complete garbage when your in good position, learn to squeeze, learn to outplay tight players with air. Im not a professional player but Ive played poker as a side income for many years and i cant stress enough how important position is.

For example if someone is limp re raising under the gun you can expect it to be a pocket pair every single time at low limit games and for most part your looking at JJ plus. If oyu have a hand like 99 facing this raise its a auto muck. If your getting re raised on the cutoff or button 99 is a shove most of the time depending on the player. Know your player, know his range, know your position.

Howard Lederer poker tip of the deal: steal the blinds, and when that gets too small steal the pot, and when that gets too small just steal everyone's deposits.

None of that matters at all. Just push your cards all in when they're decent.
