Hey
well you should maybe start at the beginner part of the forums on twoplustwo.com This is an excellent forum for all players, all the way to the top.
I think I owe you an explanation of the terms I used:
6 max (table with maximum 6 people).
TAG (Tight aggressive) You play around 18-20% and raise 13-15% preflop.
PF (preflop) before the flop comes.
BB (Big Blind)
Gayraise (Minimum raise)
Continueationbet (a bet to follow up on your preflop bet)
-EV (Negative Estimated Value in the long run)
+EV (Positive Estimated Value in the long run)
Fold Equity
-> this one is not as easy explained.. It means that you can count in your
calculations of winning the times he folds to an all in as an example.
If the Board has an A and you have straightdraw maybe and you go all in
He has to have at least a pair of aces to call and your fold equity is there
fore pretty high. that combined with the 35% chance of hitting it will
maybe be over 50% winning altogether depending on many other things
set (Three of a kind where you hold two of them on the hand)
Good luck becomming a better pokerplayer
It's hard work I can tell you that much.
Another thing you should always consider is BRM (Bank roll management).
if you play $NL25 you should have AT LEAST $500 on your account so the swings wont bother you.
Play 50k hands at least with a BB/100 of 3 before you move on to a new limit. If you can manage to do this and you read up on the play you can become a winning player but remember it takes craploads of time.
I have played 300k+ hands I am still only at $35/hour average over the last 50k hands. I make more as a programmer so I don't play much more, but fun times for sure
