Poker study before playing for real money!

Hello Marouane

Welcome on the PokerStrategy forum

It’s nice to see that you started a blog. Maybe it’s a good idea for you to participate in our https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=325001&page=1 promotion when you are ready to play.

I would also start with the basics first and start on NL2 (1c/2c) if I would start with cash gaming to learn the game better than start on NL100 ($0,50/$1) right away with all the good players that playing there.

It looks like your still a basic member and then you can use 1 or more of our free money offers on poker rooms you don’t have an account yet. If you are bronze member you can post pictures without help.

Further I wish you a pleasant stay on our forum and good luck with improving your game

Best regards,

Thanks! I will use the offers when I feel I am ready for the game. Right now, I am trying to learn the basic. If I don't show my room mate that I can play the game, he wouldn't allow me to start playing as he said. Which is maybe good ♦ now, while reading a book, they showed an exempel about how agressive the game has become. and that the pros are more aggresive when in the bubble, and they discussed a hand from high buy in tournament. in the bubble player A moves with AA for 60.000, play B reraise to 120.000 with QQ and player C the chipleader re-re-raise all in to put pressure on player B with 42 no suit.
That already made me go crazy ♦
watch the hand and please explain for me why does he go all in there with 42? he will always play against somebody who already is all in...

Hey again! I have started playing poker now for real money! And it seems like I am really doing something bad here :). Maybe it is a small simple size, but, for real... losing at PLO2 with 14bi, it must be a lot of playing bad there ♦... and losing at PLO10 also.. ♦ the only thing i did correct, is while playing 50cent sngs, I managed to be on the money few times.
I don't know how I should take this beginning, like a motivator to study more and play more, or to take it like, I maybe can't put the theory I studied into action.. and If I cant do so, I maybe should stop early.. what do you guys think?
I am happy I have not made any deposit yet, and i have not lost any huge amount ♦ but the beginning should explain a lot.

I maybe saved money, or maybe gave away money...
