Hello.

[Ronnie Blimey]

Hello im Ronnie and im new to the forum. not only that but i'm quite new to poker in general. I have been playing poker quite a bit but i seem to have reached a certain level and don't seem to be getting any better. Other players seem to know extctly when to raise, fold, ect while often i'm just stuck and they wipe the floor. Does any one have any advise on how to improve my game. I really like playing but it would be good to get a return.

Hi Ronnie,  welcome to Blonde

I am sure everyone will be able to offer you good tips on improving your game,  I won't even try as I am a first rate fish and would probably make you worse 

What sites do you play on mate?

hi, reading a book would help you learn basic strategy and you can build your game from there. harrington on holdem is the best in my opinion for tournament poker.

Hi and welcome to blonde

You have found the right place

Read some of the posts on here for example the Hnad Analysis board, listen to good players if you have access to any,discuss hands and tourneys with your mates(!), read books if that is your thing..put some work into studying and see if that makes a difference

Blimey Ronnie Blimey!



Have a look around and read some of the hand analysis threads on here.  They'll tell you one thing (if nothing else), there's rarely one 'correct' way to play poker!

Hi Ronnie,
Have you read any books? If not you should, as mentioned Harrington's is right up there but depends on how much of a beginner you are.

Play as much as you can, but not above what you can afford
Try to think what you did wrong and be honest with yourself, learn from your mistakes.
Educate yourself - there are lots of good books and articles in mags, web sites etc
Find good players & talk to them - This forum is a good start
Figure out your own game, don't copy others.
Learn to take defeat well especially in Tournaments even the best players find wins hard to come by.
It will take time but if you want to improve your game you will. But make sure its FUN.

Oh and don't listen to me I never win. 
Hope to see you in a card room near ME soon.

HI Ronnie
My only advice is don't read TKs diary. it will put you off poker for life!!Seriously it's well worth a read just to see some of the rubbish plays he makes and hopefully you will avoid.

Good luck mate
