Ive  been wanting to go to the casino and play in some texas holdem tourneys, anybody ever been to any?

Any advice or suggestions?

Save your money.  You'd be amazed at how good people are even at low level tourneys.  I've played a lot of hold em and no limit tourneys is the weakest part of my game.  You have to be super aggressive and bluff too a lot more than I'm comfortable with.  Otherwise you just get rolled over.  Once the blinds start going up if you are short stacked you are in more and more trouble.  So, try to build your stack up relatively early that's not to say bet it all in unless you are heads up with aces.  Aces against four players isn't much of a favorite so there you do want to be heads up.

Then there are tourneys with rebuys which I hate, some jokers buy in like 3x and you have to keep knocking them out.  Sure the pot goes up but it's a pain in the ass.  This makes for more aggressive play so watch for the jokers that just can't stand not being all in with a pair of 8s and smooth call your aces and hope you don't have 4 to the flop.

Go for it!

Only keep a ledger of money going in and out. Your brain will play tricks on you and make you think you're better than you are.

Took me years to start keeping track long-term.. then I made my news years resolution this year - which was no casino poker for the whole year. Lol.

(I've kept to it, go me!)

Hello!  Yes - you came to the right place. 

I can share pretty much anything you'd want to know about poker.  I do recommend you read at least one or two books before playing.  I waaay-over prepared, when I began.  I read through over 10 books and many dozens of articles, (mostly all by Mike Caro), before I ever set foot in a casino.

Then, I played, and after a few times, was able to win while playing -- so even with some study, it takes some practice. 

But after time, if you put in some dedicated and real effort, -  generally, just keep seeking to improve -- find the balance, the winning place, for you -- and stay there, and dove-tail more of your life to keep in that mode. . .

Small advantages add up -- so, perfect health from eating well, etc. - that is one small one --


Or, being fresh from being physically fit -- but, make no mistake, poker is -- it includes the physical, but it is largely mental,

or psycho - logical , or , rather, psycho - spiritual or what have you.  I guess -- it is enough to say it is mental or in the mind --    (just see. Doyle Brunson)


by this, i mean one of the key characteristics is concentration -- as well as alertness, memory - perceptiveness --


all of these things -- you see where i'm going.  Peacefulness, Relaxed, Strength (physical and mentally) , etc. . .


anyway i'm writing enough by now ;p hehe . :wink: so, any questions I can ( ((((((((((( probably )))))))))))) help out with. 

for books, I read the best 50-60 , and a couple or few hundred articles by Mike Caro ( he's one of the best ), and, most of the books twice etc. . .


also practiced a lot of auxiliary skills . . . and what not.  Meditation is also good - and writing, music, art -- because certainly all of these go into the 'perfect' style, which is a blend of lots of different things.

tough playing, but totally relaxed and friendly etc. . . - happy, pleasant, easy to be around -- these are

high, top notch, qualities -- because these, make people want to play with you - which, is pretty much the main thing. .

so therefore, a demeanor -- whatever one's personality version of, etc - but a few things --

sincere, light-hearted, friendly, easy-going but respectful, quiet when others would probably wish it -- engaging --

etc., -- and the main thing, is no dark mood about the game etc ;p -- hehe .:smile:  :smile: :smile: if you can eliminate that completely -- well it's a big thing

(and of course, this kind of thing is where poker and life run hand-in-hand)

and as well as -- when someone plays poker, it reveals one's character,  really does this. . .

(and thus-- it can be a wonderful source of info for growth )  secondly, and tying into this, is the fact that all of one's actions --

One's decisions - are resulted in almost immediate feedback -- of results. 


This basically translates as a denser field for the activities of life -- and yes, this does play out more.

In other words - it's like -- well, you'll see what I mean, sometime, I'm sure, if you stick with it.

Best of luck, and hope you have fun  --  "Play happy or don't play" - Roy West

your friend,
