Re: Books For Beginners
When I started playing a few months ago, I bought WLLH (latest edition). Half way through the book I also picked up SSHE. After reading part of Miller's book, I never went back to WLLH as I like the...

Re: why are players on paradise so terrible?
The .25/.50 games on Paradise are the same. Plus, the players tend to be very passive, not betting their good hands aggressively, so it's hard to get reads. While this can lead to some frustrating...

Re: Starting off in micro limits
I was where you are a couple of months ago. Suggest you get Miller's SSHE book - IMO the Jones book does not teach the aggressive play need to be successful at higher levels.

Re: LPPs and Turn Check/Raise
I've just moved up to .25/.50 on Paradise from .10/.20. This type of play is pretty typical. Few players seem to bet their hands pre-flop or on the flop - so you don't know if the turn card really...

\"Just Moved Up\" Question
I've been playing on line for about 3 months, so I know my sample size is small. I've read both of Ed's books (SSHE many times), and am trying to improve my game. My PT stats are mostly in the right...

Re: GETTING STARTED IN HOLD EM
I don't know about damaged goods, but I believe starting with WLLH you learn a very non-agressive style. I started with SSHE and it was tough to get through (even the 3rd time) - but I'm glad I did. ...

Re: Weak Hand in the BB
Yeah, looking back, the turn should have been raised or folded.
BTW, I notice some posts include results, others do not. Since they are hidden in white, I assume it's up to the reader to determine...

Re: Weak Hand in the BB
I was worried about the MP2 having a flush, but not the SB based on SB play of previous hands. But I felt the MP2 would have bet the flop with a flush draw - MP2 did not seem that passive.

Weak Hand in the BB
I was having a terrible night at Paradise .10/.20. Had to quit after this hand.
Figured MP2 as somewhat passive. Figured SB as aggressive and would play with a wide range of hands.
MP2 raise...

Re: Have we all forgotten our roots?
I started playing about 2 months ago. I bought WLLH and was about half-way through it when I picked up SSH at the book store. At first glance, SSH was quite in-depth and the concepts were difficult...

Re: New Observations
Probably good advice to start at low limits.
What about my observation that the low limit games I watch seem to be very tight (even though someplayers still play "bad" hands)? There rarely is...

New Observations
I've just started to play hold 'em - on line at Paradise - about 3 weeks ago. I seem to do fairly well playing a reasonably tight game (per Miller's book). I've only played at the "free play" tables...
