Beginner's Poker FAQ - Ready For Review

SheridanCat · #1 02-15-2005, 04:48 AM

Finally the Beginner's Frequently Asked Question is ready for prime time. I'm sure there are errors, so please bring anything you see to my attention.

You can find the FAQ here.

Also, if there is a question you'd like to see answered that isn't on the FAQ, either post it here or PM me.

I'm sorry this has taken so log to complete, but I hope it's helpful to people.

Regards,

T

I can't believe you were still working on the FAQ!

Way to stick with it.
I'll check it out tomorrow.

Honestly, I will!

Cola,

I'm especially interested in your opinions on the Odds stuff. Not my forte.

Nice work! The only thing I see missing is something about Gametime, PLayerview and datamining. Other then that great job. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

This definitely is impressive.
You obviously put some real time into this.

So far, the only problems I can see coming are with the questions covering books. I realize this isn't an official FAQ, but some of the book suggestions might catch some flak.

The odds stuff looks good to me so far, but I haven't covered everything yet.

I'll write something for the search function question.
You can expect it on your desk tomorrow.

Anyway, as I already said, it looks very good.
I'll continue to go over it today.

Anything specific? I'm willing to rethink the books list since I haven't read everything there is. I really think WLLH is a good beginner's book - I reread it before I wrote the answer. I suppose the Roy West 7CS book is marginal, but I found it helpful and there is so litle stud information available. I guess I should read that Internet Texas Holdem book to see if it should be included.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I guess what I'm seeing is a lot of disagreements no matter what you list. Personally, I think maybe the question should be referred to the Books & Software Forum.

But it's still not a bad thing to have in the Beginners FAQ.
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong about how much people would argue about the books included in the FAQ.

I just realized I forgot to put in the formala for PokerTracker aggression levels. I'll get that in ASAP.

Thanks for putting such effort into this, it is perfect. Will it remain a external link or become a sticky?
And one dumb question. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] It's a PT question regarding the VP$IP stat. I play in full 10 player ring games normally so I want a VP$IP of < 20 %. But when these games become shorthanded I change the way I play. Is there a filter I am not aware of to show my stats when only 7 or more players are actively in the hand?
