OT: Poker at Cronulla RSL

[leaguerules]

Im only a real novice i assume its texas holdem

has anyone gone up and played their i thinkits on monday and wednesday night.
what is it like and how much does it cost. i know how to play with mates but thats with no stakes.

 

[Bundy]

It's not bad. Most of the players there are big talkers though. They all seem to think they are future WSOP Allstars!
I find, Wednesday at Sharkies and Sundays at TPBC much better.

Isn't Texas Holdem just 7 card stud?

 

[leaguerules]

yeh thats what im a bit worried about i wouldntget intimidated because i wouldnt take it that serious but i dont want to be around ego a##holes. How much does it cost at the rsl or the leagues club

 

[carcharias]

Oh ...HoldEM

...and I thought it was sponsored by a car company.

I think I should pass.

I thought poker meant -

nuh doesn't matter.

Poker is great fun, except when you loose with pocket kings to pockets aces like i did the other night. I'm still having nightmares about it!

 

[leaguerules]

yeh ive looked at some of those online poker places but im a bit unsure is their chance some nerds got aprogram that enables them to see your cards thats probable a bit silly but im sure its possible

 

[Bundy]

Nah they can't see your cards but they can have a probability program that'll tell them the best decision they can make mathematically based on the pot value, the current bet and ofcourse your cards and the communal cards when drawn.
You can get a basic one of these for free at www.pokerbility.com, but realistically... that's just playing safe and you're never gonna win a decent tournament without the odd 'gamble', you've just gotta know when to take it!

I have not played on that site for a while - but i agree, it is addictive when you start off.

most good players know the probability off the cuff anyway. Those programs are good for learning, but you'll get flogged if they're all you rely on.

Correct.

The best way to learn though is just through experience.

After time you'll start to pick up tells, know when people are bluffing or when you can bluff them off the pot. Also the difference between a hand in early position as opposed to late position. A lot of novices see an Ace and are in the hand straight away.
