Seriously, I would start out on Freerolls for a few weeks - wont cost you anything, and you'll get some idea of how hands pan out, and what hands win pots. Most sites run freerolls (we have Sunday one on Noble, plus another on Paradise). You'll also see the worst play on freerolls - people calling when they shouldn't, betting with wrong hands etc, but if you can start spotting these mistakes, it'll be time to move into pay games. Good luck! |

| re: Where's best to learn? poker Brilliant - thanks guys. I've only ever played for matchstick with mates, nothing serious and never really kept up with what was going on. The online thing seems daunting on one hand - I don't want to get conned - but it also seems like a good place to learn more without 'mates' taking the piss! Freerolls sounds best - which other sites do them and is there much difference with where you play? |

| re: Where's best to learn? poker Another vote for Jetset here! If you want a couple of hours of madness try an Absolute Poker Freeroll and learn how not to play!! |

| I learned playing limit on Pacific. Then I bumped up to Pot Limit and No Limit. If you are looking for online, I like the play money games at Pacific and Absolute. I played in local pub tourneys and for play money online before actually making a deposit because I didn't want to waste money. Yeah, I'm cheap The Sit N Go tourneys and Freerolls are good for getting used to tournament play online. One of our handy dandy moderators also gave me a website that was uberhelpful: http://www.learn-texas-holdem.com/index.htm This site goes over rules, hands, etc. I hope it helps! Good luck and see you at the tables! |
