Welcome to the Poker General Forum!

This is a brief summary of what should and shouldn't be posted here, so that we can hopefully keep having to move threads around to a minimum. New and old members alike should take note of this - there is still a lot of threads being found that need to be moved.

What should be posted here:

Topics with general poker content that aren't covered by any of the other forums. This may include, but is not restricted to...

• Poker queries not related to strategy issues (such as issues with rules, questions regarding poker literature, and so on).
• Topics regarding poker on TV.
• General poker narratives.
• Any other topic relating to poker, in general, that does not fall under the specifics of any of the other poker forums.

What should not be posted here:

• Anything that is prohibited by the rules (https://www.cardschat.com/faq.php), such as spam.
• Any poker industry news (post breaking news, etc. in the Poker News forum)
• Any strategy posts or questions (post to the relevant Cash Games, Tournament Poker, or Learning Poker - see those sections' descriptions before deciding where to post).
• Any questions regarding specific Poker Rooms, Live Poker and Online Poker forums).
• Any posts about depositing or withdrawing funds on your poker account (post in the Poker Deposits & Withdrawals forum)
• Any posts about poker tools software (post in the Poker Software & Tools forum)
• Any hand histories for review (post to the Hand Analysis forums in either Cash Games or Tournament Poker).
• Bad beat stories, brags, or challenges (use the Poker Goals Challenges and Wins, Bad Beats and Vents forums).
• Anything with no poker content (use the relevant forum in the General Discussion section, which will usually be the Community Hangout)

Each section of the forum has a brief description detailing the types of topics that belong in those sections. A good rule of thumb is to take a moment and read them to determine where your topic belongs before posting.

This has been updated and I encourage all members - new and long term to read it.

We move multiple threads from this forum daily - please make sure you check carefully before creating a thread in this forum to ensure it is the correct place for your topic.

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

I have read and drummed into my head, my reputable bosses.

Awesome - thanks for reading it!

Awesome thanks.. I'm sure this will help a few players find what they need. There are a lot of threads and is hard to find one sometimes.. especially thru the app. But this helps. Thanks.. Good luck. Have fun

Im back yall in full effect now lets battle on the felt hehe

It is good to know

Thanks for providing clarity! Will stick to it.

Thanks for the clarification and explanation - I'll try not to violate and adhere to the rules and regulations.

Thanks for the explanation - I'll try not to break the rules and regulations too.

I think the topic is not in demand

I'm really enjoying being part of this forum I hope to get to the fast club to play every day the freerolls

Finding a LOT of threads in this forum that should be in other forums. Please take the time to review the first post in this thread.

Thank you, everything is clear)

Thanks for explanations i've learned many tips all day.

Thanks for the guidelines, looking forward to contributing!

Thank You for the information new to this site

Tips:

If the word "tournament" is anywhere in your thread title or first post there is very little chance your post belongs in General Poker instead of Tournament Poker.

If any Poker Site is in your thread title or in your post - there is only a small chance it belongs in General Poker instead of Poker Rooms.

If your post is a strategy related questions - there is not much chance it belongs in General Poker instead of Tournament Poker, Cash Games or Learning Poker.

If your post has nothing to do with poker - there is zero chance it belongs in General Poker instead of somewhere in the General Discussion section which includes The Player's Lounge and other non-poker forums.

From time to time, I would like to post poker advice from my latest book, HALLOWED HOLD'EM POKER. I mention the book to show that it has some merit behind it.Would this be considered spam?

If you are using an excerpt from your book to start a strategy discussion that is fine. But if all you do is post your excerpt with no other discussion in the post then that is not fine.

You would also be expected to return to your threads and engage in the discussions.

So I might be slow because I still don’t understand. Let’s say I just want to talk about a poker experience that I had recently. Where would i post that?

Most likely in General Poker.

Thank you ☺️

I was trying to ask what does it mean to post reply at the top where there isn’t anything to reply too? I don’t understand that?

Sorry but I do not understand what you are asking.

At the top of the screen it says “post reply” how can I post a reply to something that’s not there to reply too??? I’m using a phone so maybe it’s not showing right. But If i tap that icon , I don’t know which post im replying too. Im sorry for being so slow

Ah, yes. The 'Post Reply' is directly under the heading of the thread. Sometimes the thread title is self explanatory and you could use that feature for a quick reply (also, quick reply is near the bottom of the thread/page)

Most people will likely use the 'Post Reply' at the bottom rather than the top, but it is there for your convenience.

Ok. Thanks again

Hello! I just registered!

Good day. Thank you for this useful information

thank you for the helpful info. just started on this site so this is very useful for any like me.

So I’m guessing that I’m not the only person who has had trouble getting use to this site? That makes me feel better about it. Lol. After taking the time to look around though, it is pretty explanatory. Dakota gives out any answers to questions that you may have to make it easier for us. Sometimes my ocd works against me and I make things too difficult for myself. Lol. But this is a great place to learn about poker and try to better yourself. Thanks cardschat for having something like this.

so how do i see how many posts that i have and see their quality rating?

If you are on a computer, you will see the number of posts on every post you make in the top right of that same post. If the post hasn't been deleted, you are likely okay for quality.

Thx. You’re the best. I’ve been using both. But I think that I’ve found it.

good evening Thanks for being part of the group. I hope to learn more about poker to improve my game.

I read this everytime that I return to use this forum. I think this is a thing that we must remember.

I just noticed that whenever I got to a thread, it doesn't show the latest posts on the first page and I have to go all the way to the last page to see the most recent posts. Can the IT support staff at cardschat please reverse this methods as it would be easier and less complicated for members to see and keep up with the most recent topics and comments. Thanks.

This is an option that can be changed by the user on every forum.

Click on User CP then Edit Options, scroll down to Thread Display Options and under Thread Display Mode choose Linear - Newest First

Thank you for the explanation, I was doing it wrong but it worked out thank you very much.

If you have any questions feel free to ask! [/QUOTE]

Yes I have a question. Someone private messaged me but I'm a newby and don't have enough posts up yet to reply in private. Is there a thread I can give him a shoutout/reply in?
