Hey. I'm -_- from TL.
I'm afraid to post. Why? Because I know how I'll look.
I was never a great SC player. I tried to get good once. Got B on PGT by the end of a season. But I map-whored, MU whored, and played C- players when I was close to upping my rank. Still, I understood SC. Even if I didn't know exactly when to cut probes PVP before expoing, I got the game as a whole.
And I laughed at the newbies who thought they knew better. You know the guys. The people who said Broodling was a great spell. Or made blog posts about how they were D, but were going to get to C+ over their holiday. Get the fuck out the strategy forum and stop deluding yourself, kid.
But that's who I am now. I'm looking at the forums to the left, and the topics names are written in a different language.
I'm thinking that Poker can't be all that hard. It's mostly luck, isn't it? Tilt? Heh. Maybe other players will lose their heads, but I'm different. I'll make money at this thing quick.
I know what I just said is wrong. I've been on the other side of those kinds of statements. Yet... I still feel I'm right. I guess a newbie is a newbie, no matter how self-aware he is. Or do you poker pro guys really call newbies "fish?" And yourself "sharks?" LOL!
I'm not too dumb to ask for a few tips, though. I realize tip number one will be "use search." You're bored of newbies making these kinds of threads. Well, that's why it's a blog. If poker was starcraft, tip two would be "play games" but...
Poker depends on luck more than Starcraft. Thus, just playing 1,000,000 hands won't ensure I learn anything. That is, maybe when I play a certain hand in a certain way and win, it was just because I got lucky. Like I'd teach myself that a two and a three was the ultimate hand.
Just give me tips on small stakes no limit texas hold em. And when I say tips I mean really broad theoretical things to keep in mind. Like "keep position in mind." (Yes, I read the beginner's guide!)
(::sigh:: I bet I just said "Internets" in poker speak)

If you think Poker is mostly luck, and that you will make money quick, you are deluding yourself.
Read the articles section to get you going. |

Yo this post is pretty good.
My only advice is welcome to the jungle.
Also, if you can't stand the heat, get the fuck out of the kitchen.
I think I stole both of those from resident legend TalentedTom. |

Much love. But if you've played one million hands, and you still think this is a game of luck, you are probably not too bright. One more thing to add - LAST thing we need in poker is another bumhunter 
But gl anyway  |

Bumhunter? WTF.
BTW, I would take this oppotunity to make up ridiculous terms and convince me that they're legitimate poker lingo.
TalentedTom: "All right gosuface, here's some lingo you'll need to learn.
A "faggot" means a smoking hot player like a smoking cigarette.
And "sucking cocks" means two jacks (cuz they're both dudes!).
And being "in hell" means playing in a game with bad player who play really aggressively.
So tell everyone you know you're a 'faggot sucking cocks in hell.'"
Gosuface: YES SIR!!!
BTW, I've never played poker before ^^ |

I havn't played any hands... I was just thinking that "practice makes perfect" might not always hold true for poker...
but I'm pretty new... so... LOL I'm probably wrong. |

You could play 1000 games of Starcraft and learn nothing. Just peek into the Bnet pubbies. |
