| Hi, I've played in home games for quite some time and always have done well. Tried On Line and played in a variety of Hold 'em games and do fairly well there too. Tried the poker room at a local river boat and after my first and second trips there I realize I have some learning to do. Here is my observation about my play on those trips. If anyone has any advise I'd appreciate it. I play well at shorthanded games. But when I get moved to a full handed table I tend to play with less skill. Also, when these full table games get loose I tend to play poorly. In this situation I think maybe I over value decent but not great starting hands (like TT). I also think that the limits at these games may have something to do with it. On Line I tend to play no higher that 2/4 and home games are usually 1/2. At the boat the rooms smallest game is 5/10. Any ideas out ther on how I might be able to improve my game? Over my first two trips to the boat I'm a net loss of about $80 in 5/10 games playing for about 3-4 hours each trip. However I am at a net profit in the short handed games of about $100 prior to my moving to the full table. My play was decent on both trips and I was out drawn on the river by a few people playing runner on several hands. Thanks. John | ||

| Casino play is *very* different from home games. First of all, if you are doing well short handed, but poorly at a full table, it is likely that you are playing too loose. You should tighten up as it is almost always better to be too tight for a table than too loose for it. Also, don't learn how to play by playing like the table you are at. You want to be better than those you play against. Learn how to play good poker and then punish those who play AXo in early position by not doing the same. Read. A lot. | ||

| Pick up a couple of books on hold'em, and read them several times. A great book to start with is Lee Jones' "Winning Low Limit Hold'em". The book includes detailed sections on both preflop and postflop play, and discussed concepts that are most applicable to low limit games (for example, making your opponents make mistakes by paying too much for their draws). | ||

| Definately do some research into the literature section, Lou Kriegers "More Hold'em Excellence" helped my game out a quite a bit as i just started a few months ago myself. | ||
