need more info. limits you play, books you have read, amount of time playing. all those kinds of things. NL hold em is a game of imperfect information. the forum is all about the information you present us. present it completely and we will do our best to help out.

Best advice for a new player is to play within your bankroll, like clussman said. While we usually say never sit down with more than 5% of your bankroll at the table, you would probably want to cut that in half, because you're not going to magically be a winning player from the start.

The best advise for someone that is a new comer to Poker is to read some books about Poker, especially the game that you think you will play the most.

And most importantly dont go into rooms that you cannot afford.

If you have $100 stay at the $1 - $2 rooms or the $2 - $4 rooms, never go into the $5 - $10 rooms with less then $100 is my advise.

Hope this helps you out and Good Luck at the Tables Man.

Catch Y'all. Smile

Good advice so far: Read and stay at the micro stakes (unless you are independently wealthy and cam afford to lose thousands while learning).

Other good advice: analyze your game for flaws. Best way to do this is mix practice and reading. Read some, play some, read some more, play some more. Don't read too much at a single sitting...just as much as you can internalize and work on the next time you play.

One of the reasons you play small stakes is so that you can try different things without going broke. When I first started trying to bluff at nl I was amazed at how easy it was--right up until the first failed monster bluff. Fortunately I was at the .05/.1 and so I wasn't financially ruined. But I learned an important lesson about bluffing.

Get used to bad beats. In fact, if you are taking lots of bad beats and giving very few bad beats you are probably playing well. As frustrating as bad beats are, they are a sign that you are better than your opponents and will eventually have all their chips.

Don't move up too rapidly. Take shots once you are winning consistently at your regular game and then drop back to your regular game and practice some more.

Goof around a little bit with different styles of poker (S&Gs, NL, PL, and FL cash games) as well as different games to figure out which one "feels right" to you. Once you have identified your favorite, specialize in that game for a while. Eventually you'll want to branch out, but to start with focus on one game.

Tip 1) Learn limit games before NL ones. You need to know the science to winning before you can learn the art.

Tip 2) Dont listen to whoever suggested playing 1/2 or 2/4. .50/1 should be the highest level you play.
