Be persistent

Study poker, learn poker, play poker and live poker

 

[CallmeFloppy]

Ask yourself each time you make an action "Why am I doing this?" Eventually your answers will get better.

 

[Robochick]

I would say to strictly follow bankroll management guidelines and don't drink alcohol while playing.

Don't lose your cool. Don't get angry. You win some and you lose some, it happens.

just fold that SB x BB fight and stop lose money on this fights

 

[pokerpie]

Patience and being able to take a bad beat and coming back from it.

 

[slicheri93]

Study. And start will low stakes first. like 0,55 1,10$ tournaments first.
Instead of 5,50/11,00$ Ones

Im a Begineer

OK this is a long one
Im reading a poker book and theres a question
Hero: Ah2s
Villain :AsTh
Board: AdAhQc5c
Need to calculate win outs and chopping outs.
As expected to win there are 2 2s and to chop with 2 pair there are 3 Qs and 3 5s
Now the part i dont understand, It says to chop further the board can draw 4 Ks and 4 Js. I get the idea that this means theres a higher kicker than the Ten the villain has, but doesnt that mean that the Queen that is already on the board is doing the same thing?
So if i get a brick river like a 3h would we chop or does the villain get the pot?

K or J falls you chop with AAAKQ or AAAQJ, a brick & he wins with the 10 kicker.

New player learning to fold is one of the first skills one needs to master.
