just started playing online poker and I’m already confused af 😅 where do I begin
Jumped into online poker for the first time and wow, there’s a lot going on. With slots and roulette, I pretty much know what I’m getting. This is like a different beast, though. I keep losing track of all the hands and who’s doing what, and the betting is way more complicated than just hitting a spin or drop. I’ve tried watching some YouTube vids but it all goes over my head after a couple of minutes.
For now, I just pick random hands to play, but I know that’s not gonna fly for long if I wanna stop donating chips to people. Is there a good starting point for figuring out what to do besides “don’t play trash hands”? I like stats and all that with my usual games, so I’m wondering if there’s like a beginner stats way to pick hands or something. Pretty sure I’m missing some basic strategy, just not sure where to look for a simple version that’s not a giant wall of text. Anybody got advice that isn’t just “study for 100 hours”?
try focusing on how you react after you lose a hand instead of just the stats, like in blackjack the tilt gets you way faster online. when i started, i’d log my mood each loss and noticed those were always my worst stretches.
