I'm a newb player and have yet to play poker for real money so your input can really help. ____________________ The Only PRPG Player who's running for rank 13 QUOTE Oct 9, 2007 1:31am Quistons_Report Poker God Joined: Sep 2007 Location: NORCAL Posts: 133 Patience for knowing when to be aggressive Observation to know how your opponents perceive you Timing to help create lucky situations (Going shitbat insane is basically leaving your fate to luck.) Aggression is a tool just like tightness is a tool. Against a variety of opponents you need to determine what tools will earn you chips from each one. Be fluid and ride the rythm of the game. The techniques you have referred to are more useful in tournament play over cash games. Be sure to remember that there is a difference in the play of real money games as compared to play money as well as online as compared to face to face. thanks for reading my post player.

Sometimes it is Luck but other times it is Patience,observation and timing and picking and choosing your spot (mostly to Bluff) QUOTE Nov 14, 2007 12:57pm d0gbackwards Poker God Joined: Sep 2007 Location: Your Pot Posts: 138 Problem with patients is that not everyone has them. Attention disorders, sounds funny, but not everyone can sit in one place for long periods of time just for starters. Then to have to concentrate pay attention and block everything else at the same time, that puts patients as the strongest key to playing poker. You can have all the aggression or observation you want, because everyone can have that. Anyone can learn that, but patients is something only the gifted have. Patients divides the greats from the rest. The rest just like in poker simply follows suit. Observation and aggression during your hours of patients creates the greatest opportunity to take home the money. QR is a great player, i love playing against him. If he talks, pay attention... d0g ____________________ JOIN THE BILLIONAIRE MAKER DAILY 8 PLAYER 1MIL SNG http://pokerrpg.com/forum/topic/3623 QUOTE Nov 20, 2007 10:43am KHE1138 Newbie Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 1 I've found that no one strategy works for me. Some games require aggression over patience, while others do not. My method is to constantly change. Play tight a few hands, then throw your money away for a few (not so much that you'll lose though). That way no one at the table will know what you're going to do next. Plus if you are really good, you can make people think you're a rookie, then take them for what they're worth. This may not work for everyone, but it ussually works for me. QUOTE Nov 24, 2007 1:51pm bay091 World Famous Joined: Nov 2007 Location: Cambridge, UK. Posts: 13 I am a tight player, (most of the time) Tip 1: Never show you cards when you dont need to. Tip 2: Play your opponent not his/her cards.e.g. say you were playing a rookie they would be loose-aggresive If you are playing a more experienced player they will be patient and maybe more tight. that way when they do play hands they will be good ones. Tip 3: stay over at least 15 times the small blind. if you have hardly any chips to play with, you wont be able to win as many ... u know what i am saying. QUOTE Nov 24, 2007 1:58pm GoldStubb Universal Champion Joined: Sep 2007 Location: St. Paul, MN Posts: 32 In relation to your 3rd tip: I will never start playing a limit (or no-limit) game in real life with less than 50 big blinds. There is no reason to start yourself out shortstacked. Say it's a 6-12 game, I won't start with less than $300. QUOTE Nov 25, 2007 8:46am bay091 World Famous Joined: Nov 2007 Location: Cambridge, UK.

QUOTE Nov 28, 2007 11:23am Quistons_Report Poker God Joined: Sep 2007 Location: NORCAL Posts: 133 In some poker book I read it advised not playing a cash game with less than 40x the small blind. if the sb=$20 don't sit with less than $800 ____________________ U R BEAUTIFUL WHEN U SMILE QUOTE Nov 30, 2007 1:32am GoldStubb Universal Champion Joined: Sep 2007 Location: St. Paul, MN Posts: 32 I think that is in SuperSystem.
