I wanted to know which limits Kene played and on which site in order to get a feel for the opposition he is facing.

It is actually possible to share this information with people and simply avoid telling them your username.

Dont bother trying to figure out what they have, just pay them off and you'll do fine until you learn better. Biggest thing people do is pounce on weakness, so if you are gonna show weakness, be ready to hold on and call people down. If you are showing strength and someone else is fighting you with strength, its much more likely they have it. Also, don't tell these guys where you play or what limits, they'll probably come hunting you down. <abbr><em>Mark aka Poker Farce’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BigEdgePokerBlog/~3/n3wTn3UbMRk/victory-is-mine.aspx">Victory Is Mine</a></abbr></em> They ARE bluffing all of the time Kene.

This coupled with the fact that I find it hard to lay down after I've committed a certain amount of chips makes me loose pretty damn fast :( I am reading all your tips and they are helping me to change my mental look in hands. Thanks and keep the good work going :) <abbr><em>Kene A’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-ebay.html" rel="nofollow">Nokia N97 on eBay!</a></abbr></em> Hi, I’m pretty new to playing poker but the biggest problem I have is I think everybody is always bluffing 100% of the time.

Noobs should focus on learning to handread properly so they can avoid general concepts that really don't help. Cool post! I agree that getting married to a hand is bad.

Until you can pick up on betting patterns and are able to put your opponents on certain hand ranges, you will probably lose more than you will win if you lay down your big hands when an opponent plays strong into you. Especially with so many people who think their 2nd pair is AWESOME or they are just trying to get that rush of pulling off a big bluff. The thing to do is if you call down with your big hand and lose, make a note on how your opponent played against you and with what so the next time you will have more info to go on. <abbr><em>McTap03’s last blog post..<a href="http://blindvsblind.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-trend.html">New Trend?</a></abbr></em> I have to agree with Poker Farce.

If you don't know when to lay a hand down and when to fold it... you'll probably do ok if you just call all the time when you have AA. You won't beat ME, but a player can do ok these days just holding on. I usually just go for mid-pair and then hold on for dear life and I make some dough at the tables. <abbr><em>Mark aka Poker Farce’s last blog post..<a href="http://blog.bigedgepoker.com/2009/04/22/money-for-nothin-chips-for-free.aspx?ref=rss">Money for Nothing, Chips for Free</a></abbr></em> If you are a noob, being married to a hand isnt terrible because people are playing pretty aggressively these days.
