Hey guys,
I’ve just started learning to play poker. My friend coached me up a little bit, nothing amazing, just the basics. It was good to sit down, work on my poker face and try different things out. Although I'm down £15 to him!
Then I went to Poker Listings to read up on their beginner strategy which was really good and I learnt a lot from that site. I also have another friend who plays Omaha mostly but is a decent online player. He told me a few things.
To say I started two weeks ago, I feel like I’ve picked some of the basics up pretty quickly. But, I’ve still got so much to learn! And that’s maybe why I keep having a negative bank roll. But I love playing poker, I have so much fun.
I play in position and always check how close or far away I am from the dealer. I’m a TAG, starting out, I’ve heard that’s the best strategy to have. But, I loosen my play up depending on my position and my opponents. I love to 3 bet and c-bet in the right situations.
I play micro stakes .01¢/.02¢ 6-max tables on pokerstars and 9/10 I lose my stack. I buy in at $1 and sometimes I get up to $2 + but I’m yet to hit $3 + What usually happens is, I lose my money.
I sometimes play Spin & Go’s and I even won my biggest pot to date a few days ago, bought in at $3 and won $12. I was pretty happy! But I’ve lost all that now and I’m down to $8.
So I was wondering if someone could help me out, perhaps give me some advice on how to improve my micro’s game. And help me to get the ball rolling so I start to see more wins and less losses.
Thanks!
