| Hi, Well hopefully we can help you! But there are no quick ways to beat the game. You are brand new to poker so I would suggest you get yourself some good reading material, practice, practice, practice, and join in on some of the discussion that takes place here on the forum. I suggest the books by Lou Krieger, "Poker For Dummies" - and please don't take that the wrong way, it's just the title, and Lou's books can be of much help to you and you do need to start from the beginning and learn the basic stuff first, so. Welcome aboard to the UPF - Feel free to join in on any of the poker discussion that takes place, and if you just want to read the posts and ask/give your responses later, then feel free to do so. There are lots of beginners here along with professionals, and we're all one big group who has a common bond - we give advice, we get advice, we listen, we learn....we improve our game because of it all. 4P- on 29.

| Lucky you to be starting poker in this day and age. If I may reiterate 4 POKER's excellent advice "READ". Although there is no substitute for real experience, reading will shorten "the way" so to speak. With the internet you have access to tens of thousands of articles and posts on poker. Make use of it. Not to deter you from asking questions, but from my experience, it is much more rewarding to surf the net and absorb like a sponge. The end result will be the ability to ask a focused question, backed by the knowledge you have gained. Try and find things out for yourself and don't give up. Since you're here, start with the search function when you are looking for particular information. Although the UPF is still relatively new, it is starting to amass a respectable archives. I believe Google has archived the entirety of the Rec.Gambling Poker (a discussion group) Although there is a massive amount of garbage to sift through, you will find many gems within. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=rec.gambling.poker (WSOP Omaha bracelet winner) Steve Badger's website has excellent articles that covers a broad spectrum of topics. http://www.playwinningpoker.com/ Cardplayer Magazine has a large archive of their articles that can be viewed online (for free). http://www.cardplayer.com/ Pokerpages "the poker portal" has a massive amount of articles/links, everything under the sun on poker. http://www.pokerpages.com/ There are other poker forums on the internet of varying value. Remember that you will get out of poker, what you put into it. If you want to become a serious poker player, then treat it that way. Poker is a massive puzzle, and one without borders. Each time you learn something you will place one more piece. Many times you will see where a piece goes, yet still need to find the connector piece. Be paitent. focused and determined. It will lead to success. PA | ||

| UH, GEE SMNLFAN, I WONDER IF I CAN CONSENSE 17 YEARS OF POKER EXPERIENCE, INTO ONE POST> HA HA TEE HEE. WELL, YOU HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO, WHERE SHOULD I START FIRST? I'LL JUST GIVE YOU SOME BASICS 1. DON'T PLAY AGAINST SUPERIOR PLAYERS. MONEY IN POKER, IS NOT MADE BY GREAT PLAYERS, PLAYING AGAINST GOOD PLAYERS. BUT BY GOOD PLAYERS, PLAYING AGAINST BAD PLAYERS. 2. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE RULES OF THE GAME, BEFORE YOU SIT DOWN 3. WHEN LOOKING AT YOUR CARDS, MAKE SURE NO ONE CAN SEE THEM 4. DON'T LEAVE YOUR CARDS "UNPROTECTED" A DEALER MAY TAKE THEM, OR A PLAYER MAY THROW THEIRS INTO YOURS, AND YOU HAVE A DEAD HAND 5. DON'T PLAY WHEN TIRED, SICK, OR WHEN YOU HAVE EXCEEDED YOUR "FRUSTRATION LEVEL" 6. IF YOUR HAND IS PUTTING CHIPS INTO THE POT, MORE OFTEN THAN IT IS FLICKING CARDS INTO THE DISCARD PILE (MUCK) YOU ARE PLAYING TOO MANY HANDS. 7. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, TRY TO BE THE AGRESSOR, BE THE ONE BETTING, NOT THE ONE CALLING. 8. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT PERSONALITY TRAITS, AND CORRECT ABILITIES, SUCH AS: MATH ABILITY, LOGIC AND PROBILITIES. KNOWLEDGE OF STRATEGY 9. DON'T PLAY "SCARED MONEY" IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE, YOU WILL BE TO SCARED, TO PLAY EFFECTIVELY 10. LEARN VARIOUS METHODS THAT PEOPLE CAN USE TO CHEAT, AND WATCH OUT FOR THEM. 11. STUDY GOOD BOOKS ON THE SUBJECT. 12, MEMORIZE THE ODDS, FOR VARIOUS EVENTS HAPPENING, THAT PERTAIN TO POKER, AND LEARN HOW TO FIGURE OUT THE ODDS, FOR ANY GIVEN SITUATION 13. IF POSSIBLE, MOVE TO AN AREA OF THE COUNTRY, THAT HAS THE MOST AVAILABLE GAMES 14. LEARN TO SEEK OUT THE "GOOD GAMES" THIS IS CRITICAL. YOU CAN'T WIN, WITH A BUNCH OF "ROCKS" (VERY TIGHT PLAYERS) 15. DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB. THIS IS VERY BASIC ADVICE, BUT STILL IMPORTANT NOW, WHEN THE LIST GETS TO ABOUT 23455 THINGS, YOU WILL HAVE FINISHED YOUR EDUCATION A.T.E. | ||

| Ditto. Mike Caro University Of Poker can be found, by simply clicking on "POKER INFO" at the bottom of the UPF page. It is an invaluable resource, often overlooked by the majority of visitors to this forum. PA | ||

| Winning Low Limit Hold-Em....by Lee Jones. Personally I think this is the best first book. A lot of the others will talk mostly about concept or plays that just don't translate well to Low Limit games for a beginner.....my two cents. | ||
