steve7stud 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 When I first started playing poker, I tried to get advice from everyone that I possibly could. Actually, it was after I endured some healthy losses that I sought help from other players, lol. My problem was, I was looking for THE answer. Ironically, most people will tell you different things. To this day, answers and advice will change from player to player. One thing to take into consideration is the limit that you play. The reason that I wrote the previous article inquiring about what limits most people play on this forum, is because certain strategies work well at 2-4 that won't work at 200-400, and vice versa. I can assume that a 2-4 game is fairly loose, I know they are in California casinos. But, I really wouldn't be the right person to go to in terms of advice on that game. I still have mentors for both cash games and tournaments. They are some of the best in the world. And I watch them WIN on a regular basis. But make sure the advice you get is sound. Even so called "authorities" on poker are not in agreement. While someone might mean well, myself included. Know WHO it is that is giving you the advice. Good Luck. Link to post Share on other sites

maxone22 0 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Also know that what works for some, may not work for you. I admire those that play "hyper aggressive". I can't do it with any consistent success though. It feels awkward to me, and I know others are picking up on that awkwardness. Link to post Share on other sites
