new player on internet
 

i am new to poker. just 8 months old. i have been getting better at my tourny play, online and live(b&m games) but i cannot figure out ring games online. people tell me just don't play, but i want to learn. i get seriously frustrated, not to mention the money i've spent trying to learn. does anyone have any advice to give me on how to succeed in online cash play. i am open to any suggestions.

you might want to wait a few years, most people don't gamble when they are 8 months old.

seriously though, reply to hands, post hands, read the sticky.

Absolutely do not do this. Absolute waste of money for a beginner (and for most people in general). Just read this forum and don't tilt!

tnx. i did'nt think so.

don't get coaching yet. study the sticky which contains excellent material to improve your game.

cardrunners or leggo poker or both are great too

get some hands in at a level where you can afford to lose. just call it education money

when you play a hand and don't know the best line to take, write a post on here and we will try and help you

play micro stakes cash. make friends w. people who u know are good at poker. try to play live cash with good players and listen to their discussion of hands etc. cardrunners videos are good too. playing HU is good too i think, u learn hand values and how to adjust to a wide range of opponents.
