Hey everyone, joined cardschat.com today and hoping to learn a TON from you all! So far it seems like there's a lot of information here, so I'm feeling pretty confident.
Anyways, I only started playing (Hold'em) like a week ago, I started playing with play money, then took some time to try and study the basic strategies and stuff, just trying to get a better understanding of the basics of the game. I've already made a deposit on my site, but I haven't played any real money games yet, since I feel I lack experience and knowledge to really make a profit yet. In the play money games, I've actually lost a fair bit just by trying to apply the strategies I've learnt, but after reading some more I've found that even in low limit real money games, people just don't play very strategic (which makes a lot of it useless).
I watched the video tutorials at PokerHeaven.com, I've read a few articles and tried to understand the math of poker, but I still feel like I'm just not very good at putting it all together. I don't have a very good understanding of odds, what strategies work at the lower limits, when to fold / bet and so on. Therefore I'm asking where you guys think it would be best to start (just learn the odds and start playing, any specific books or websites etc.)? I do understand the basics and how the online rooms work, but since I have the patience anyways, I just want to be as best prepared as I can be!
Thanks, hope to hear from some of you sharks out there.
