Im new to poker and playing micro stakes LIMIT holdem.
I have noticed that when I have a good second best hand I seem to turn into a manic!!
Ill raise and reraise a raise.
Sometimes I take down a big pot but other times I loose to, what I knew, to be the best hand.
Im beginning to think that this is causing me to loose more than I gain.. so I guess its a leak in my game. (or is it just poker???)
Right now my hand reading abilities are next to zero so whats my best stratagy? Im also trying to be a multitabler .. so hand reading needs to come from Poker Tracker stats.
Do I fold when I am raised if I feel that I could be beaten?
Do I simply call?
Or do I fold?
Examples of this tend to be when I am holding top two pair and I am beaten by a set or I have a straight but loose to a flush.
My biggest problem here is the set.
I could fold a staight to a flush if there is a possible flush on but a set... how could I ever know?
If folding is the way forward wont this make people more inclined to raise me hoping that I will fold.. how do I altermy game to comensate for this?
Myy starting hands are those described in Small stakes Holdem by Sklansky and Miller (incase thats relevent)
All insites will be greatly apreciated guys.
