Hey all!
I am new to the forum and currently am only playing on Full Tilt, I would love for some of the players on here to give me some tips. I play the rush poker and the sit and go and I am getting really frustrated with how some of the people play. A lot of the players decide to go all in on a crap hand and make you fold thinking they have something better then them and turns out you could have won the whole thing!
Anyone else have something to complain about maybe give me a heads up? Or even just some tips to help in the game?
Thanks all, look forward to your replies! :)

Don't get frustrated. Just realize if it can happen, it will happen. You will always play against people like that.

I would start reading some poker strategy books. I think that is the best way to give you some good fundamentals.

You should start with a little bit of studying (books,movies) and then if you still think you don't get well in those games maybe change to cash games

Read and participate in forums, and read some books to get some basic strategy, then practice implementing that strategy on the tables and post hands you are unsure of for feedback on your play.

I would first look through the whole strategy articles section on CC, then i would went through whole learning poker, cash game and tournament sections of this forum. It helped me a lot...
after that Phil Gordon's Little green book...

I didnt went the same order, before joining this forum i have read Ace on the river and Super/System, but i wouldn't recommend those to be first books

Concentrate on being aggressive and not passive and try to play mostly in Position.

This forum is full of tips. You can just check every thread in this section and you will probably find what you want.
But - dont get bored,frustrated,upset and such. Accept the fact that this game has a lot to do with luck, not only with skills, so dont put it on your mind when you lose a hand. Play aggressive, by doing that you will be both building pot and protecting your hands. Be patient. Gather as much information as you can about your opponents. Play in position - that doesnt mean only on the button, you can play in any position BUT make sure you got position on your opponent. Play only strong hands on slow tournaments, loosen up on the bubble and such. Most of that comes with practice.

Understanding online poker - defy some of mathematics/statistics of poker, suckout/badbeat is just normal, expect the unexpected, seeing the inimaginable/impossible - thats ONLINE POKER.

Complaining because opponents don't play the way you want them to is a waste of time and energy. Given they're making mediocre and poor plays, you don't want that to change anyway.

Few tips; stop playing rush! If you play it dont go all in with anything less than AA KK preflop... Many players in zoom/rush are nits and will only play strong hands
Next tip is to 3b like mad,since most players are nits,when they raise and you 3b they will usually fold,if they happen to call or 4b you fold if u dont have nuts...
Next tip is dont chase your loses never ever...
I did lose some ammount in 2nl,than you go to 5nl to make it back,and eventualy you lose more...

Stick to pocket pairs and AK in the first 3 positions.
Do not call raises with suited connectors lower than JTs unless you have at least 2 people in the pot and you are either in position or the big blind (maybe fold in the bb anyway).
Always open raise when first in.
tend to raise min raise opens from players who open from mid to late position (when you are on the button); min raising is common in rush because people hope to steal often and cheaply.
Be conservative in the blinds if not first in, especially the sb. 3betting stealers is usually better than calling but have some kind of hand. ie.. 88+AJ+ JTs+
Do not get stubborn or get married to AA after the flop.

Why not to call suited connectors except jt+? Many zoom players base their whole range on top pair,and when you hit 2 pairs,str8 you extract chips with ease...
