Hello everyone,
I was a tourney player for a few years but was still a losing player (probably break even without the tilt) and so I walked away even though it stung that I couldn't even beat the fish. Now the bug is back and I've switched to cash. I had $7 left in my account and have been playing that and am up to $28 (watch out Phil Ivey lol!) and am wanting to take it more seriously.
Can you help with the following please to get me up and running?
1) How do I select a table? What should I be looking at when I am browsing the lobby?
2) I take it HUDs and trackers are mandatory? If so, can someone help me setting up and understanding? Just a basic lesson will do. I know VPIP is money put in the pot but not the rest of the figures and what they say about a player.
I would also appreciate help with getting to grips with trackers other than in play stats - such as history,analysing patterns of play and identifying leaks. You know, where to go, what functions to use etc.
3) Has low stakes strategy evolved or is it still TAG, play in position and chuck small pairs if re-raised?
4) I am on Stars and surronded, seemingly, by Russian LAGs who can't let go of top pair, shouldl I stay here or are there juicier waters for a fish like me?
Thanks in advance. With your help I may just be able to crush 2nl!
