Where to begin learning poker

[rodrigossbr]

Good morning everyone! I'm new to poker and I'm looking for opinions on how I should play at the start of a tournament. Thanks!

Hello, I don't think that there is a correct way of playing at the start of the tournament. However I tend to play in a more conservative way because some players go all in with any cards and if they are lucky then you are out in the first hands

Hello! 🙋‍♀️💞
In fact, there are many criteria that determine how best to start. Of course, it depends on the speed of the tournament. But, in any case, watch the players more and bluff less.

Good morning and welcome to the game! Play only decent starting hands in position related to the button. Use patience and don't play hands like ace-rag off-suit or small pairs aggressively. Watch the other players and find your mark. Be relentless when betting and you might just double-up within the first few blind levels. Then you're on your way. Best advice I can give is don't go after bigger stax without a premium-hand and don't do anything stupid. GL man.

First...just play NL HoldEm poker. Call, raise, check OR go all-in, depending on your cards and see what happens. With time you understand the game and you look for literature, videos and others.... After couple of years you are much better and you can play seriously tournaments.

As Masha said to you take the 30 day course. That is the best advise you can take to start with. I would say play free rolls at the start or small buy in games. As for the game, I would just sugest playing good hands and as you learn you can play more and more till you get to a good number. Just play it slow.

When i started to play 16 years ago, I started to learn poker from books, the old ones like Super System and Harrington on Hold'em.

Try to be there for at least 30 minutes. Then you will be able to grasp something.

I started learning poker by reading books by David Sklansky and Edward Miller. If you have a basic theory of poker, you can read "Secrets of Professional Tournament Poker" – Jonathan Little, "Tournament Poker for Advanced Players" - David Sklansky. They are very good.
