It seems the texas holdem bug is goin everywhere. Last year it was hard for me (in high school) to get a game going every couple of weeks. Now theres easily two or three games a week!
Ive read through quite a few posts about starting up... Some tips i got out were:
a) when playin with new people, one should concentrate on knowing the players first (i.e. floppin first hands)
b) tight-aggressive is the most efficient way to play
c) in order for ppl to give you action, they have to know that you bluff every now and then. So preferably giving a bluff early on is good.
d) watching out for tells (easier said than done)
e) to remember that the money in the pot is not yours anymore (for working out winnin ratios)
What else is there? The guys i play with are beginnners too so getting advantage of them shouldnt be too hard! There are a couple of guys who love goin all-in all the time... and they only need a queen high to do that. Last time i called i had AKo vs KQo. Q got flopped out i went. I try to vary my game also because i'll be playin with these guys often so theyll get to know me, but that sometimes means doing some stupid stuff. How can i vary my game without jeopardizing the result?
Well i'm off to play now... !
