Yup, off to go play some Texas Holdem, always a good time, despite the fact that i usually loose, because i dont fold enough hands and constantly chase flush and straight draws.
any old hands at the game care to give me some advice?

Limit or no-limit?
You said it yourself. FOLD SHIT HANDS! Once in a while I'll play a flush draw but get out quick if the betting gets high.

when you fold your straight and flush draws, the card you need are going to come up. when you chase them, they're not going to come up. simple as that.
you should be folding before the flop a lot. only play it when you have good cards, or just an intuition

Tuesday nights I play a no limit holdem cash game. I consistantly break even or make money. Overall I make small amounts. I have a very simple strategy. I will reveal my secret to you. I fold over 90% of my hands pre flop. When I do have the goods I play aggresivly and am usually overpowering. I basically only play a high pocket pair, A, K, Q, J, or big slick. If I have suited connected or a low pair, I'll try to see the flop for cheap. If I don't flop the nuts, and get raised, I fold. The way I play is super tight and aggressive. It gets a lot of respect. People know that when I go in I pretty much have the goods. Do not chase if it costs you. Fold your rags. Play strong when you have the nuts. And maybe once a night steal a pot when you have rags. If you call every hand, and play loose you will inevitably lose. The poeple I play with think I'm lucky. I'm really just patient. That's it. That's the secret to playing at least break even poker.

That's pretty much how I play. When everyone plays like this then being able to read people really starts to come into play. I personally dont care for playing with people that will play anything, lol.
