New member! Analyze my hand for me?
Hi all
I am new to online poker and have been playing online for 2 months. I have read a couple of books and am starting to learn a few things - obviously not enough though as my hand below will show.
Would someone analyse the hand for me and tell me where I went wrong?

What site you play on? What's your user name?
The rest of the hand played pretty standard.
Question: Are you new to poker or to online poker?
I am new to both poker and online.
Any more advice?
Thanks
Paul
what he said x2 (and prob everyone else on the board)
welcome
go to much lower stakes so you can learn how to 3bet properly
most of the money should be going in preflop, not on the flop. Pot control will give you a chance to dump this hand on the turn when his flush shows up or get value when it doesnt
that will lead to be able to fold when you make a mistake and get in these situations - instead of getting stubborn and losing your stack throwing bad money after good
I am serious about learning and you lot have saved me some money and probably prevented me from becoming disillusioned because of losing.
Thanks again.
Paul.
The biggest piece of advice is to realize that 2/4 online plays like 5/10 nl. some of the best play here.
Start with .5/.10, get a good poker tracking software so you can study your results and build a database of all the people you play against so you can learn their tendencies etc.
You won't make big $$$ but you'll learn the fundamentals and strategies of playing online which are different than playing live.
As for the play, what everyone else pretty much said, more pf, more on flop. Have to avoid giving the players odds to chase their flush, if they catch then that's just a beat but you'll make a tonne from the times they chase when it's not in their mathematical advantage to do so.
Also max buy for NL400 next time that will help.
Does this mean make sure I have plenty of money to bet to ensure I can control the pot odds?
My understanding of poker terminology is getting there but isn't perfect.
Are you saying this would have become a bad beat for me regardless.
huh
