I'm new to poker

Just play tight early on honestly, I kept thinkin any suited cards were a license to splash around and my chip stack would vanish in ten minutes flat. The real lightbulb moment for me was realizing position at the table matters almost as much as your actual cards.

man when i started i lost so many chips calling down with second pair like it was the nuts lol. just fold more than you think you need to especially early on and it'll save you a ton of headaches

everyone sleeps on position, i spent months bleedin chips from early seat before someeone told me just fold more when im first to act and widen up on the button

[FiceNeLu]

yeah and fold most hands preflop tbh, beginners play way too many cards and it burns em ?

Honestly playing tight is the smartest move early on but I still get bored folding for 20 hands and then punt with jack four suited just to feel something.

ah man the hand rankings are step one for sure, i kept mixing up flushes and straights for ages. biggest lightbulb for me was just playin super tight preflop, you avoid so many messy spots that way.

I lost so many chips early on slow playing pocket aces and letting people see cheap flops. My buddy told me to just raise big preflop with those hands even if it scares everyone off and honestly that alone made me sotp bleeding money so fast.
