Hey guys,

nice to be here, hope to have some fun, expand my horizon,cause this also is my first time to join in any community online, except of work-related matters.
Me & my friends played poker maybe 10 years ago the first time. Since, we started 20,30, max. 40 times poker sessions, cash $ for the last three players on the table, it was pretty fun all time, but just on a moderat niveau, basic rules knowledge, no strategys.
Well, we often discussed the "how-much-luck&how-much-skill"-issue. In my opinion stochastics is just theory, concepted by people observing repeating interactions to subsequently create a form of universality for their more simple understanding of common happenings. For me this is not implemented into practice, life is chaotic, spontaneous, unpredictable.

Yesterday i met an old friend who told me making thousands of dollars with online poker, without even spending a penny. Here I am. It is my last semester at university, so i got more free time for making different experiences I couldnt do in more busy times. With the chance to earn some money at the same time, I couldnt imagine a better way to enjoy leisure time.

I will get very deep into the poker subjects, starting from point zero, I'm looking forward to it and being curious what comes out!

My written english is not my strongest skill, sorry for this, i hope the fellows reading it are able to get my point.

I learned a lifetime, I'll master in 5 minutes

Hello Dancetonight,

Welcome to Pokerstrategy.com :welcome:

What ever your skill level PokerStrategy.com has lots of great articles and forums to help you make the most of your game.
We have a very active and friendly community here with lots of hugely experienced members who are keen to pass on their thoughts, expertise and experience to fellow members.

A good place to start is in the strategy section 'poker for beginners' found here

First you should get familiar with the Rules of Texas Hold'em.
After that it is recommended to start browsing through our strategy articles. These articles are meant to give you more knowledge and tools to improve your game. You will get to know your first winning strategy and get familiar with basic poker maths.

Once you have the very basic knowledge, you could continue learning by watching some videos. Our coach LemOn36 has a couple of great video series for beginners: No-Limit Starter course and after that a bit more advanced Beyond The First Strategy.

A good way to improve your game is to post difficult hands to our Hand Discussion Board.

When you get to grinding, it is very important to follow proper bankroll management. You could for example go up stakes when you have 25 buy-ins for the next limit and go back to lower limit when you drop to 20 buy-ins. This is extremely important since not following a good bankroll management strategy might cost you a lot of money.

When you are starting your career, you will be overwhelmed with all the new information. You should bear in mind that getting good at poker is a long process and will not happen overnight. You should not try to learn all the advanced concepts very fast and then try to apply those. It is a good idea to start learning new things one by one. This will give you the fastest progress.

All in all, I think you will like it here and we all wish you every success and enjoyment in your poker. Look forward to seeing you active within the forums in due course.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Good luck at the tables.

Regards

Matt
