Hello! I've been playing poker for about a month now and play a $30 freezout home game every Friday, Casino tournament $75 freezout every Sunday and then play $1/$2 cash games in the casino every Sat and also play online $1/$2 games.
The home game i won the first week but not done very well the last 3 weeks. in the tourny I came 20th out of 80 the first week and 9th the second and I'm losing a lot in cash games and online. I bluff too much and also get attached to the second best hand way to often. Last night I was all in $150 in a casino cash game with the second best hand again so time for a rethink.
What would you advise the fastest way to learn is? I'm reading books and I understand and apply pot odds vs hand odds although do not really understand how to get a persons range. I can often end up all in with the second best hand or a bluff which means I never have chance to build anything!
I have money to play these stakes but I'm wondering if it is better used in lower stakes first? I play the lowest stakes at the casino but maybe I don't play cash at the casino anymore and keep it online?
Thanks!!
