I'm sure there will be many requests, waiting for some posts to read, hope not all of them will go in pm/dm
so poker newbs like myself can read and learn :)

Sent an e-mail.

Glad to know that this stuff is totally free and its quite rare for some people to have the time to share up some tips and knowledge about poker.
For those players out there - It isnt bad to try on whats OP's trying to teach.  ;D

Thanks for the support, highly appreciated!

Wow, it's really nice that you want to help people for free with their poker skills. I get it that you might be really into this stuff and thus helping out people, but I wonder if there is a bigger game for you here. Sure, it's sweet that people are willing to help for free, but humans are rational beings, so in any situation they are usually looking for some gain (even if it's not direct and purely economic). What's your game here? Why are you helping people for free? Is it because then you can start providing services for money or something else? Don't get me wrong, it's just that 'too good to be true' offers are making me suspicious. It's often safer if you know what kind of profit the offerer is going for.

There's no catch, I'm doing hand reviews, simply because I like doing them, but it's also to build up a CV that I can use in the future to possibly ''benifit from economic gain'' hope that answers your question. You can find tons of free information online already, the likes of, charlie carell, lex veldhuis, gripsed poker. I'm just offering hand reviews to beginning - advanced players who feel uncertain about their plays in alot of spots.

The thing what I really don't understand is this : Why are you even asking this? All free services can eventually possibly benifit the maker. It seems to me that you're trying discredit my integrity for some reason, which I really can't respect.

I'm offering a good, free service. To the people who want to make use of this opportunity, go for it. If you don't want to make use of this, just keep on scrolling and don't bother replying.

If you think that you can manage the variances of so many hands here, why dont you make any examples of yourselves like the one you have on becoming the runner up? I believe there must be so many conditions where you need to make a choice whether to fold or continue right? May be people wont have time to discuss it here because there is always time limit when to bet so instead of asking them why dont you directly give something as the examples of many conditions? I think it is much better

You're joking right? ''May be people wont have time to discuss it here because there is always time limit when to bet so instead of asking them why dont you directly give something as the examples of many conditions?''

You just can't make this stuff up, lol.

I don't think you realise that hand reviews are used for studying. Studying poker is something you do off-table, so I have no idea what you're asking here.

I am very impressed by two things. Firstly, that you offer your service for free and secondly that you have managed to take your plays to the next level. I wasn't sure if there is a trick to do so and I was wondering if there is a chance to make poker plays better. I just want to ask if you have improved your pays by reading/studying about plays or you have made it only by experience? It may be a combination of the two but I want to know which one exceeds as I usually play with my feeling - experience and this strategy is not profitable for me.

Online poker is in close to dead state. You cant find any crypto poker room with mid-stakes action and more than 1 open table. I've checked it all.

I suggest you to try twoplustwo for HH discussion. There you will get a lot more action on your posts.

I agree this is a huge problem with crypto poker. Probably because Pokerstarts and 888 are so dominate.

As you say so. Now, I just want to ask what is the difference between the poker in casinos and online poker. Are the rules the same? Can you chat with your opponents or not? What is usually the minimum bet allowed in btc? Is it harder to play online since you can't read the body language of your opponemt or it's all the same?

I'm sorry if I had so many questions, I'm an aspiring gambler. I just bumped into your thread so I grab the opportunity to ask and get some advice coming from experienced people while it still free ;D.

First off, when you say poker, I'm assuming you are talking about the most popular version ; Texas Hold'em. There are many other forms of poker out there, the likes of Omaha, PL08, etc.

There are 2 main forms of poker you can play :
MTT's (Multi table tournaments)
Cash games

The base rules of texas hold'em are the same everywhere. You can chat with your opponents, aswell as online and live, but speaking when there is an All-in at the table is generally frowned upon. For live table etiquette I advise you to watch the following video : https://youtu.be/lkuBbXpIFhU

The amount you want to bet is completely up to you. MTT's can start as low as a $0.05 buy-in. For online cash games the lowest is generally at around $2. But the sky is the limit, you can also choose to play $100.000 cash games and MTT's, like I mentioned before, it's completely up to you.

Online poker is actually easier for beginners than live "casino" poker. Body language reads are not that prominent at the beginner stages, so don't worry about it. It is indeed impossible to get a physical read when playing online, but it's always possible to find patterns in your opponents game, so that you can exploit them.

I tried to keep the answers as beginner friendly as possible.

Hope this answered your questions.

Goodluck at the tables!

I am asking for some examples that you really getting on when you are done with the playing. At least you might have something left on your mind when you called it a hard decision or anything. You might be able to recover the situation and share everything on this thread. So there is no need for everyone to ask you the same question again and again. If this is only some words to see without any pic or screenshot then it is really nothing can be learned

as a pro player, how much of importance is the ability to read your opponent's body signals?
how would you describe the recipe to be a successful poker player, for example:
50% reading opponent, 30% luck ,20% knowing patterns etc.
do you have any tutorial videos you like to point newbies to ,so you do not explain the basics?
is it possible to make a living playing poker professionally?

First of all, good questions.

Like I've said previously (replies) above, reading body language is not a prominent skill at the beginner stages. It really all depends on what tables you are playing to answer if a read is useful or not.

A good poker player can take his losses. Most of the tournaments (MTT's) you'll play (like 80-85%) will not earn you ANY money. A good player keeps his calm at a final table, when the stakes are high, to make up for all the times you're not in the money. Discipline is also very important (not tilting, etc.).

Poker is a constantly changing game, the way poker was played 10 years ago, isn't even close to how it's played today. A good player will constantly try to raise his edge over his opponents by studying off the table.

A youtube channel named PokerListings, made some great beginner-friendly videos to let you start learning today. Check out the playlist here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk0YZUIBe10&list=PLjox1pvr2DkY0njX0Z4jcLGRhkbfYkrq3

It's very important that you get the poker basics down, before you start playing. You don't want to be like 95% of the poker community and start out as a complete fish at the tables. Build a solid poker foundation, then start playing from there.

And, yes, you can make a living of playing poker professionally, lots of people do it, playing 2/5 cash games at my local card room has basically paid for my college education. Here's a list of the highest total tournament earnings of poker players in the world : http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/ranking/all-time-money-list/

If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask them!

In the end you just giving others youtube channel to be viewed, so what are we really studying at the first place? We need something more reliable that you can give us here, if there is only some youtube watching to become pro players, then everyone will be no need for this topic and no discussion, so what ia the point then?

Don't bother responding to my thread again if you can't even read what the service and the questions are about.

Go shitpost somewhere else.

Give the guy a chance. I read his posts and seems he is trying something. Reading his posts gives me the feeling that he knows his tea.

I would suggest OP, instead of just answering question and giving tips here and there why not you create something step by step. This will encourage people to start from some points.

I am taking about creating some courses may be.

To my mind real life poker experience is absolutely different from online poker, I think your skills which is mostly good blaffing, can't be used online as well as it's possible in rf. In real life you see player, can understand his emotions, movements, mimics and so on.
On another hand can't understand why some people look poker as a skill based game, without card you are indefensible.

I always play on online poker and I am not pro play poker but some time I win & lose, I very confused about it any suggestion ?
I means are you believe that 90% ppl play on online poker the true guys not a bot ?

Every poker player has up and down swings, it's completely normal, don't worry about it too much. The key to combating this is proper bankroll management. For example : Don't play $50 tournaments with a $100 bankroll, you won't be able to keep up with the variance. With a $100 bankroll you should play $3-4 tournament MAX.

I think the last question you asked is something concerning poker bots? If so, I have no idea.

No, he doesn't. OP is correct in ignoring his posts. Honestly, take a look at some of the post history. ::)

HH review is way different than telling someone "fold on X" because the former is actually of substance whereas the latter is something that is exploitable and is only useful when teaching basic strategy.

[Nice thread on poker (https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/32/beginners-questions/dunce-teaches-bq-how-think-about-poker-duncelanas-pooh-bah-thread-1408652/)]

What format of hand history is preferred here?

What have you studied? (i.e. books, threads, other resources, etc.)

First of all, thanks for your reply, It's good to see someone actually understands the purpose of this thread.

Any format is fine, I'll plug the noted hands into Hold'em manager, and review them to spot leaks.

It's quite hard to answer what I have specifically studied.

I've done countless of coaching sessions with ''elmagico19a1'' he basically got me into online poker.

For the past 3 years I have also been a moderator on one of the most popular poker forums in the Netherlands.

And there is so much more...

Upload the hand histories online, and send me the link via private messages.

Great to know that you are offering this service for free and poker players will rarely benefit from your service, but apart from poker what other gambling games is base on skills and can be thought, am just seeking opinion as we all know how gambling is without any known winning mechanism.

No Gambling game require any skills and even layman can easily play it. Even if you want to learn poker, you can easily see some video on Youtube on " How to play poker" and you will understand it all within very less time.

Yeah, learning about the mechanics of playing poker is easy. However, winning requires skills, knowledge, and strategy to win. As a poker player, you should learn how to read hands and judge whether players are bluffing or not. It requires experience to be able to learn other aspects of playing poker.

Still i will say that skills do not count much however experience surely helps as a experienced Poker player can judge many things regarding the opponent behavior  and his confidence etc. These things will only come from the experience, as no tutorial can help to develop these skills.

I was very impressed because there are still good people like you who want to help other people for free. But, I do not fully believe that you are providing these services for free where now people are looking for a profit in any way and maybe by sending a message to be helped by you then I suspect you will give some fees to the reply that will be received later.

Hi man, thanks for the free service. I don't have hands to review (I think I'm extremely strong in that field), but I would like to ask what are the best websites to play online.

I have a Pokerstars account (real money), and tried realpoker.net (cryptos), but I don't trust RealPoker. I won a lot of games, triplicated the free balance, but I doubt if I can really cashout when I achieve the limit.
Any idea, or review about this site? Any other crypto poker site you recommend?

If you think poker could be learnt from a youtube video than you must have not played poker for too long. Two types of people can undermine the math that goes behind playing poker and those people are either very very knowledgeable about poker and since they know everything and they are amazing at it they think its simple and everyone should understand or people who have no idea about poker and think "how hard it could be"?

If you are one of those people than thinking poker could be learnt from youtube is understandable but poker has a lot of small details in it that you have to really train to learn, it can't be done via reading or watching you have to really just go play and learn and be better at it with each hand. With experience you get to become better because you see what happens and you learn why and how and than you are ready for the next time it happens.
