If you are making money playing on line. You will have a distinct advantage playing live games.. There are lots of “on line” pros at final tables on TV.. The main thing a person has to think about and work on is their “Tells” GL

Question by Shifty Reynolds: What is a good poker book for low level online play?
I am going to put £50 of english money into an online poker website, and would like to know what the best books out there are for begginer/intermediate players. please reccomend a good book for ONLINE PLAY =]

Answer by toppair2pair
Don’t buy a book, there’s a wealth of info on the Internet. But you’ll have to be very tenacious and disciplined to not loose that £50 quid to start off with. Your favorite site while your learning should be http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/ The holy grail for any poker player. This will be more useful then any book imo!

If you’re really serious on a book, then you need to first decide what sort of games your going to play? Cash? Tournements? Single Table tournments? (Different books for different games)

Generally research the following.

Bankroll Managament
Table selection.
Poker stats VPIP/PFR/AGG/3bet
Opening ranges
Gap Concept (Not understanding this is far and away the biggest way beginners loose money initially.)

Download the following

Poker Tracker 3 or Hold’em Manager (HEM is better imo)
PokerStove (Free)

Use the following websites, when your not playing poker.
Pokertableratings.com
officialpokerrakings.com
sharkscope.com

I am trying to collate alot of this info on my new website http://www.nanostakespoker.com/ for beginners, be sure to check it out and pm me if you need any help with any of the above. Need some ppl to test it out on.

Also. If you do anything in this, Research “rakeback”, it will save you soooo much money!!!!

Be Lucky!

Question by paulbunyan217: What are some good websites for playing big free poker tournaments?

Best answer:

Answer by Jason
With PokerStars, Full Tilt and UB not accepting U.S. players anymore all the tournaments are going to have smaller fields for a while but I’m sure they’ve still got the biggest ones at the moment along with Party and Titan Poker.

If your from the U.S. you won’t be able to use any of these sites and your best option for freerolls would be at Carbon Poker.

If you’d like more info. on this you can check out a freeroll scheulde at http://www.onlinepokerads.net/freerollschedule.htm which is updated in real time and includes all the big poker sites.

Question by john: would it be a good investment to practice poker online, maybe hire a coach, read alot theb play tournaments?
would it pay off to educate myself and get a coacch even and gain all the experience i can then try to play tournaments like World Poker Tour with those large buy ins of 10k or odds simply strongly against that? Also how do you qualify or try out for the WPT? Im 18 now and playing texas hold em’ though not that seriously, so i suppose i have a little of time.

Best answer:

Answer by mrwonderfull
18 its gonna be hard to really play wtp or wsop since most are for 21
but if you want to learn play like i did and get ready to lose

ok am assuming your think of going pro ill give my basic rules before your start
1 bank roll
2 money management this is important part in all card playing since this is were you will see if you can survive

ok now how this works
bank roll and money management go hand and hand
to start with think of this as an investment in business like owing a store
let say you start out with 500 this has to last you 6 month to a year if you go broke then your need to re think

Question by © paul d ~ LFC ~: what is a good percentage of cashes in poker tournaments?
In 9 man sit and goes where 3 people are payed if you are cashing in over 33% is this good? what percentage should you ideally be hitting?

also what would you think is a good percentage for multi-table tournaments of between 90 – 180.

thank you

Best answer:

Answer by LegFuJohnson
It’s about ROI, not just cashing. You can cash 50% of the time, but if it’s always 3rd, then you end up losing.

But you can cash only 33% of the time, but if you are taking 1st place, then you are making a profit.
