Hi all, i am new and i have few questions.
Hi mates, i am new at poker...
Anyways, I am playing for like 1 month, at internet for 20 $ bankroll only, but most i play with friends for 10 $ buy in, 0.5\0.25 blinds. Anyways, i am playing only when i have good hands, i mean when the dealer give me only pair and high cards like K Q etc. When someone rase before flop deal i often fold if i dont have high cards. When the flop deal (3 cards) and i dont have nothing, only the K Q for example, and the flop is 10 & Jack, which means 9 or Ace to straight, i just dont know if to call the guy who rase or not, i usually dont take the risks, and i dont know if that game is ok, i mean my friends calls me "bunker" and say that i dont take risks, I would like to have an guide which is saying when shall i take risks and when no, when to rase when to fold and etc. Anyways another question is, if i have pair Aces at the start, before flop, shall i rase allot or just check? if someone rase before me, shall i rase or just call him? if the flop is deal for example 5, 6, 7 and i still got only the aces shall i rase ? Shall i try to bluff? when shell i do it? How i can make that no one will be able to "read" me. I hope you understand my english, and will like to help me, if this isnt the right place to post this one i am sorry, Kind Regards, Benayoun. EDIT: I have allot of situations that i dont call on the first time i mean before flop and i fold then flop give cars and i could have full house, so i dont know what to do,shall i call and wait to the flop anytime or no? Another question: I have situations for example i have 100 Chips, and we set time to finish game, i have 30 mins to stay with those 100 chips and then i have nice profit, but i loose them!! dunno how, so i would like to ask, sahll i fold any bet until the game is finised or what? thanks.

Re: Hi all, i am new and i have few questions.
I would recommed some books:
Play Poker Like the Pros, Phil Hellmuth Phil Gordon's Little Green Book, Phil Gordon and then Low Stakes Poker by David Sklansky, Mason Malmuth and Ed Miller. They will talk about starting hands and after you master that you can get into post-flop play. Gordon's book has a nice chart discussing which hands to play from what position, and that can be a good starting point.

I think "Getting Started In Hold'em" is a good book for you to start out with. [/ QUOTE ] Scroll down the page. Along the bar where the forums are, near the bottom, there is a link that says "Books." GSIH is a good place to start and published here to boot. Failing that, just look for it on Amazon.

[/ QUOTE ] Trust me, if you play poker before reading books and compare how you play afterwards, you'll kick yourself for not getting the books earlier. Try buying just one book to start.

Re: Hi all, i am new and i have few questions.
Benayoun, you sound like me 2 years ago, and I feel for you not being sure. I'd offer advice on how to play, but I don't want to tell you wrong. It's good these guys are suggesting books to read, but I wish they'd tell you how best to play these 2 hands in question, too.
