I just started playing for cash w/ a small bankroll. Been up and down learning the ropes and trying different strategies. Some of them work some of them don't but over all I've been playing and experimenting off winnings w/o touching my bankroll. I must say that a lot of the strategies I pull off the forum here work like a charm.
What are some tell tale signs when someone hits a set?
In all honesty I'd say I get taken on a bad beat by someone catching the trip on the river about 1/2 the time in these low stakes games. I'm guessing the higher the stakes you don't have these morons putting you all in w/ like a 4,9 unsuited correct? Seriously I got beat that way on a A,K suited after I had hit 2 pair by the turn and then the nitwit caught the trip 4 on the river. I bet my hand accordingly trying to get them to fold but they just hold on and on and on! I'll keep moving my way up in stakes as my bankroll gets bigger, but please tell me at some point MOST of these JA's who bet ridiculous amounts on stupid hands disappear and you get to start playing the "game within the game" properly. I've also noticed when you're sitting at the table face to face instead of behind a computer, people aren't so willing to push their hard earned money in on these types of hands so I'm guessing this trend of stupidity has to do w/ the fact I'm playing online poker as well. Am I correct in any of these assumptions?
BTW I'm not playing tourney's yet. I understand you play tourney's a lot different than cash games.
