Hi Rock,
Welcome to pokerstrategy:f_drink:
people here are very helpful, if you need help with your game play, you can post your hands and people here can help you.
Read and post for poker advice,software you may need and just chill.:f_pleased:

You should get yourself a HUD, even the free one will do, it will help you a lot playing online.
Since your playing freerolls , having a HUD makes a big difference.
and if you plan to play cash games, I suggest you get leak buster, an add-on for HUD (HM2/PT4)that can help you.

Enjoy your time here:f_thumbsup:

Cheers:f_drink:

I watched it on tv and now i'm writing this just to get tickets ♦

Matt,

Don't really have any software at the moment, so getting a tracker (at a minimum) would be high on my list. I did download the Equilab hand analyser and was playing around with it a little bit.

Cardinhand,

Thank you for the nice welcome and advice.

I will look into the things you mentioned. Think I may have read somewhere on another forum about a free hud with basic stats? I"m not currently doing/using anything to get stats or notes on players besides typing out a few occasional notes in notepad. Its very time consuming and seems to be not worth it. But it helps. The site that I have played on does not email your hand histories to you, but you can get a pop-up window to appear after the hand is is finished with hand histories on it.

I use to play on paradise and stars during the 2000's and had a beta version of PT2 with a HUD attached to it, so I'm vaguely familiar with using a tracking program

Hey guys,

Welcome to the forums,

What games and limits do you both play? We should be able to link you to some strategy and/or videos specific to what you play.

Where are you both from? In fact, why don't you get yourself added to our Member map. You never know, the nearest PokerStrategist may live right next door.

Let us know if you need anything

Have fun

Laz

Hi Zigmame, nice to meet you

Hello Lazza61.

Hello electrosok

What is this tickets mentioned earlier?

Hey RockRoll458,

I think electrosok is referring to our Weekly tasks promotions. You can win prizes like $300 credited to either spend at STEAM or paid directly to your T-a-F account, software licences, iPad minis and several smaller prizes paid into your T-a-F account. All for completing some simple tasks.

Regards

Laz

Very nice. I did see something about a raffle but this explains it much better, thanks.

All you really need to do is click that orange number at the top right of the page and it will tell you everything.

Thank you Lazza. I did see the orange number, but the promotions page explains it quite well.

There are some pretty sweet prizes in there

Hi RockRoll458,

Thanks for dropping by on my blog.

Don't really have any software at the moment, so getting a tracker (at a minimum) would be high on my list. I did download the Equilab hand analyser and was playing around with it a little bit.

It might be worth having a look at FreePokerDB (FPDB) a free tracker. If you are on Poker Stars there is a tracker called Jarvo that might suit you too.
You can find a link in the Poker Tools section.

My regards

Matt
