Secrets to crushing fallsview games
#1 - the games are loose passive. That means you need to value bet and fold decent hands to raises.
#2 - pay attention at all times. The more info you have the better your decisions will be.
#3 - position is very important, but you still want to stick to playing good hands in good position.
#4 - if you cannot fold for two orbits you will never make it anywhere in poker.
#5 - take a break at least once an hour. Don't play insanely long sessions. Eat before you play, you'll need the energy. Take a break any time you take a sick beat. If you make a couple of crap pf limps, you need to take a break and maybe quit for the day. Bring your A game or go home, this is your money we are talking about!
#6 - shut up. Stop talking! Do not say a word. poker is a war for information, and even if you're just being sociable you are probably leaking data like a sponge. Whatever you do, do not verbalize your bets - this is usually where I can tell if a player has it or not.

that's it for now. I suggest you scrubs listen up!

Toss me a beer.
I bought the sampler pack, you want a Keiths Red, Newcastle Brown Ale, or Heineken?
I'll fire up the BBQ now.
Want a burger?
Sounds good, I'd say toss one on for Ivey but I heard he chained himself to a tree in front of Grahams place protesting Kristys ban.
Sidenote.. I miss Kristy
I look forward to implementing the outlined strategies and profiting.
so i will take a burger!:)
Please continue. AFAIK this is revolutionary.
#4 seem a little tight to me; maybe more applicable at higher levels 5/10+?
#5 don't agree with taking a break after a sick beat; shows weakness. if you can't handle the beat, should be playing a different game. I don't need to 'dodge bullets baby'; pf calls once in a while with suited connectors, pocket pairs isn't always a bad play, especially with multi way action.
#7 - I think I fold too much, which I am improving at (thanks to GTA).
A playful image much is better than a rock image.
Many people come to the poker room to be entertained.
*NOT* to make money.
The best games are full of noisy, drinking, laughing players with an attractive lady to distract the other players.
If you have a war mentality you will not get loose calls from players who are there to have fun.
Players will give you much more action if you have a fun, playful, talkative image.
By talking you can make them call, fold and raise when you want them to.
he haz cluez OP haz no cluez
Most of these guidelines you should probably be using at any poker game....
Yes, I agree with them except the one about not talking.
It will be a big change from my current style of chatting away and playing every hand, from every position for 6-12 hours non-stop without a break ... who knows might make a difference.
also remind me, does three pair beat trips?
[x] good - chatting away
[ ] not good - playing every hand, from every position for 6-12 hours non-stop without a break
[ ] picks up on sarcasm
That is always quality advice.... and avoid the cold sores too.
I've never cared because my dick looks bigger when it is infected.
