(The Unofficial) CC's 100 Greatest Poker Tips

[gord962]

Don't throw good money after bad. Don't keep throwing money in the pot because you already have a put a bunch in there. If you know you are beat, just fold.

Slight side-track, but in a standard Tarot deck there is no Spades suit - it's Cups, Batons/Wands, Swords and Pentacles/Coins... and none of the Aces traditionally mean death. Even the Death Major Arcana means transformation and change (the death or ending of a current situation) as much as literal death...

WITCH! I'm not going to lie, I didn't do much research on that . lol

[JeeDub84]

pot odds must beat your winning odds for your decision to be mathematically correct

 

[joosebuck]

You must have a monster hand to overcall.

Heads-up, bluffs are more convincing out of first position.

 

[ChuckTs]

Don't give implied odds with big pocket pairs. They're monster hands, but of course they can be beat and you need to know when they are.

 

[jrossa]

Always play for a certain time period rather than for a particular amount as you will keep on playing if you have an amount in mind.

 

[Welly]

Dont eat eggs before a live game

 

[don8ions]

Always look for a reason to fold.

Otherwise, position position position, and patience patience patience will get you into the money

Pay Attention

Predictable play will kill you. If someone attentive gets a feel for how you play then you're toast. The opposite holds true that you should punish people that play predictably (in other words most of the people at Titan)

 

[Gizzi315]

It's better to fold a winning had than to call with second best.

 

[Leaf_Pacos]

More or less, if you miss the flop altogether, get out. Unless your at a REALLY weak table (or are heads up and can possibly bluff), chances are somebody has hit it.

Best Tournament Advice I EVER HEARD

A fold is only a small mistake.

And I can't resist another...72o is NOT the worse hand in poker, the worse hand is the second best hand at showdown!

 

[pidepiper]

If theres an Ace on the flop,90% of the time there is a straight draw...

(About 40 tips so far. Let's keep it going. Need more from the regulars. To bump it up, here's a big one I just learned: )

Most people shouldn't play drunk or buzzed. Alcohol tends to limit discipline.

 

[Jesus Lederer]

Chuck already said it, but i love the solemn oath by Bill:

"I will not go broke with one pair, (unless its prelop)
I will work on pot control, and being willing to toss these hands early, if the pot appears to be growing unmanagable.
I will be willing to jeaprodize my entire stack on a set or better.
An open ended straight with a flush draw.
An open ender or flush draw with one pair.

Tptk and over pairs, give implied odds, they dont get them. I realize that one pair is a long term loser, and promise to never go broke after the flop with them.
If a donk will stack off pre flop i will commit all of my chips."

 

[joosebuck]

Bill seems to be on a hiatus as of late

 

[Bombjack]

Big bluffs at low limits are a good way to cripple on your own stack, because you'll get called down by people with mediocre hands that are better than yours

 

[tucum]

keep focused and dont be affraid to fold even the small blind if you dont think you can win be patient your time will come

 

[H8POKER]

i've been finding that being a new guy on a new site, they really like to stick it to you and deal you shit. It's wrong, my skill level should allow me to win, win, win.

 

[Stick66]

(Since this thread doesn't qualify as a sticky and I keep finding it on the 3rd page of the "Poker General" section, I'll have to add another one that helped me a lot. Let's keep it going and get to 100! MORE REGULARS NEED TO POST THEIR FIRST ONE! Even if you don't think you are a poker expert, just a tip that has helped you the most and isn't here yet. C'MON! DON"T BE SHY! Don't make me start begging or posting names!)

To call a bluff, you must be able to beat a bluff. Even if you know someone is bluffing, Ace-high won't beat bottom pair of 3's.

 

[brutus]

dont get so excited that your draw hits that you dont realize the board and that someone might have hit a better hand

 

[brutus]

if behind in chip count at the final table dont take extra risks to make up the chips because next hand someone might get put out and now youve moved up a spot. so dont go chasing just fold it and live to fight another hand.

 

[RiverNoHelp]

Don't be afraid to call a small raise with suited connectors in a multi-way pot..
