[QUOTE="SCcobra4me, post: 10631737, member: 37359"] To the OP, I would start out with small tournaments, $20 or so and just see how the play goes, how bets are made, etc. Try not to bluff a lot, it'll bite you in the ass but if people are checking after the flop and turn, make a decent bet portraying you have a good hand. This of course may not always work. I've learned over the few years that I've been playing to not play every hand you think looks good, in fact maybe 1 in 8 seems to be about the norm for me if that. Do not go chasing the straight or flush on the river, the odds are against you. I'm no pro or semi pro like some on here but enjoy playing the game, try to be consistent with your posture whether you have a monster hand or a shitty one, that will be your tell as discussed earlier. I'm a small timer and just started playing cash and prefer tournaments better, cash gets frustrating when you see your stack dwindle over a few hands. However, I did win enough money this weekend to pay to have my gears installed, $200. So I'm pretty stoked about that. I played at a casino for the first time with $100, had my aces cracked third hand into it and it cost me $80 (that hurt) but I came back and brought it up to $200. One last thing, if you are the small blind and noone has raised yet, it costs you next to nothing to call even if you have a shitty starting hand. It's worth seeing a flop at least, I've caught trips, straights off the flop by doing this but everyone has their own method of madness. [/QUOTE]
