Moving from Online poker to Live Poker

[DaveShoelace]

Live tournaments:

Nobody understands the concept of shoving all in with ten big blinds or less
After the first player busts, its time to talk saver deal
Bad calls that win MUST be backed up with 'I thought you had ace-king' or 'I thought you were at it'
Bad calls that lose MUST be backed up with 'I was getting good value' (nobody has any idea about pot odds so no need to worry about proving this'
Preflop raises on level one = x7-15 bb
preflop raises on level four upwards = x1.1125 bb
Nobody sees the ironic humour when someone says 'but it was suited'
most of the field will nurse a short stack of 4 big blinds to the grim death telling the table 'no need to gamble yet'
its against the house rules to throw away the nutflush draw
the worst player in the room is usually the one that claims he has a tell on people at the table
ace-ten = the nuts


Or is that just napoleons?

I did laugh out loud at that bit.

Don't forget there is no shame in raising half your stack pre and then folding to a BB jam, but only if you say "no need to gamble my tourney life"

.. and don't forget the absolute all time classic..

"I had to call for the value"

Never, and I mean NEVER muck your cards on an opponents verbal declaration of their Hand.  Keep your cards protected at all times.

Loose cash games............ Play after the flop, raise pre with QQ, KK, AA........ anything else see a flop as cheap as possible, you will still get action post flop, but you probably dont have enough money in your and all your mates bank accounts to raise enough pre flop to get rid of the suited connector and Ace rag brigade.
