Bump because /v/ is shit

>>379387635

/v/ is full of brainlets and faggots. Poker is too much for their minimal brain. Also they are not ready for a thrill of losing all your money in one game.

>>379388971
Yeah, I figured as much since my last thread didn't get any replies either. A shame honestly.

Fuck off to /tg/ please and thanks.

This isn't vidya.

Poker is a "traditional" game.

You should discuss it there just like you should discuss Magic the Gathering and other tabletop games.

I know that it is but /tg/ gives even less of a shit about poker. Also, there are many poker video games and I specifically asked in the OP about them.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>379389336
There are many MTG and DnD games too.

MTG discussion still belongs on /tg/. I've been browsing /v/ for a really really long time my man. Poker isn't /v/.

>to intelligent too learn poker

Who the fuck plays with play money or video game poker against AI? Literally useless when no risk and reward involved, and especially against retarded computer opponents.

I play Texas Hold'em during lunch breaks with coworkers.

I don't want to play against fucking AI of course. Just want to get my feet wet before starting with low money bets.

I want to try pokerstars but I suck at poker. Where can I train? In my country people don't know about poker. Most people here play blackjack.

Play money poker is a joke. If you're not in the US just put in 20 bucks into a decent site and play 2NL. You're doing yourself a disservice playing anything with fake money.

Other than that I play poker 24/7 AMA

>>379390763
Any recommended sites/literature to get better? I want to improve because right now my play is pretty lackluster.

Also, since when have you been playing already?

>>379390942
If you're just starting, the only way to truly learn is playing and watching good streamers. I recommend watching tonkaaaap, Doug Polk, jcarver, lex veldhaus and maybe jamiestaples. Just watching their highlight videos on YouTube will give you a massive insight into game theory optimal play.

If you already know a decent amount, read The Grinders Manual. I would say it's one of the few books relevant to today's game.

I've been playing for 6 years, both live and online.

>>379390942
Also, If you don't mind going to rebbit, there's a sub called /r/acesup where people post their hands and others analyze them. It's very good.

>>379392015
Thank you so much anon, I never thought I'd find an actually competent player on 4chan. I'll make sure to check out the streamers and the subreddit.

>>379392168
No problem man.

Poker players use a lot of convoluted vocabulary so don't be intimated when you first read all of it. I'll give you a small rundown.

Preflop, flop, turn and river are the "streets" in the game.

Positions on the table are determined by where the dealer button is. Most people refer to the player on the dealer button as "button" (or BU), to the left is the SB (small blind) and BB (big blind). To the left of the BB is the first player to act preflop, called UTG (under the gun). Then UTG+1, +2, etc... until you get to MP (middle position). To the left of MP is the lojack, the highjack (HJ) and finally the player before the button is the cutoff (CO)

Shove, Jam, Ship - to go all in

Flat - to just call

x/r - check-raise

x/c - check call

x/f - check/fold

Check back - when you are the last player to act and you elect to check

Reraising a raise is called a 3-bet, then 4-bet, 5-bet, etc.

Nuts - best hand possible in that instance

>>379393304
Nice, thank you for the explanation. Sometimed I still get confused with abbreviations so that helps a lot.
Two questions though: How exactly can I calculate the amount of the minraise at any point? And does the 3 raise cap exist in NL?
