Default Re: Name ONE thing you would tell a beginner poker player....

I agree with Ottsville's comments other than.....



[/ QUOTE ] I assume you have put in hours and hours playing for free. If not that's first and foremost otherwise you're probably going to lose money.

Free play is worth what it costs. The only reason to do it is to learn the mechanics of the game/site.

Nothing in free play stops you playing as if your money was at stake. If you adopt the right attitude you'll learn a lot about pot odds, implied odds, reading other players, value of position, and more. You'll probably develop into winning player as well - no bad thing. You'll need all thisa and more to take into money play.

What level are you at?
