yo poker's a blast, once you get teh hang of it you won't stop ? just start with teh basics and work your way up bro, gl!

[mikac6c0l3]

? nice ?

trying to learn from real tables straight away is better than just watching hours of tutorials honestly, the feel for the game only clicks when there's actual chips moving around

[Ashtia94]

i still remember my first live game, folded ace king preflop cause i was too nervous lol the table looked at me like i had three heads

[sandarium5]

watch some texas holdem streams, the aggression on the turn is where you really learn the odds on the fly

[Jadeva]

I get why people say jump into real tables but honestly I think watching a few basic hand ranking videos first saves you from making dumb flods like that ace king story, no shame in a little prep before your chips are on the line.

lmao i remember being so confused at my first game too, but man once u get into it, it's addictive af ? just dive in and have fun! ?

I sat at my first table thinking a fush beats a full house and the dealer had to correct me three times before it stuck.

[emberarium16]

Are you thinking of learning Texas holdem or did you want to start with something simpler like 5 card draw? Just curious becuse msot beginners feel less overwhelmed with fewer variables.

I once lost an entire buy in because I mistook a straight for a flush in a home game, dealer just sighed.

I tried to bluff my sister with a 7 high hand and she called me with absolutely nothing just to see my face.

[syliound44]

honestly the best way to learn is just jumping into a play money game and messing around till it clicks, but do you have a specific game in mind like texas holdem or you wanna learn something else first?

[yxarenne]

just messing around with play money might teach you some bad habits though, you might want to watch a few hand breakdowns on youtube firt so you at least know what not to do

[Ivshengyn708]

Go big, Texas holdem preflop charts print em out.

[blackoutter]

no cap, once you hit your first big win you'll be hooked ? just dive in and learn as you go bro

[wineoselle]

I rmember spending way too long just staring at a hand ranking chart the first week, so you're already ahead by just wanting to jump in do you have a buddy who plays already or are you gonna be teaching yourself solo

The OP author's name checks out for a poer beginner somehow.
