| advice for the ultimate recreational player? Suppose you meet someone who is too lazy to study or feels like studying poker is too much work. She wants to learn a few basic concepts and then just go play. Also suppose this person isn't bothered by losing and never tilts. What advice would you give her? I'd probably advise play money. But failing that, I'd advise: 1. The lowest possible stakes 2. A BR of let's say 5,000 buyins 3. Single tabling only and only play speed tables 4. Chat incessantly during play 5. Play when she feels like it as opposed to keeping track of hot and cold runs 6. The only stop loss is when it's not fun right now 7. Favor kitchen table games Anything else you guys can think of, or do you disagree with anything I've got listed? |

Now to answer your OP, after you give her the basics of poker let it go. If she doesn't care to know more that's her. Why give advice when it isn't wanted? You have many players male and female with this type of attitude so it's nothing new, trust me they will learn and if they get serious about playing they will come back and ask for help. Now on the flip side of that you have alot of players in the poker world who were just like this but yet went on to win millions of dollars playing and did no real studying, only went off the basic rules of the game and luck. So tmo and gl with your friend. |

But seriously just teach her what hand beats what(two pair beats pair etc) and tell her to play pairs and picture cards and let her go |

But seriously, if she really feels as you say in your original post, I would definitely suggest play money or freerolls. Unless she can stick to a budget, consider it "entertainment funds" and not go over that once it's gone. |
