Iselo · Sep 23, 2012

What's the best poker advice you have ever received/red/heard? Something that has stuck with you and helped you in many situations or just in general.

I've always liked "You don't have to win every hand hand that you're dealt. Just a majority of the ones that you play"

A friend told me early in my playing days when i first started

"Remember a weak Ace, is still a weak ace"

Every time i am thinking about making a play with a weak Ace, i hear his words of wisdom

It has Saved me a bunch of $$$$ since

Stop playing so many hand and make sure when you do play hands that you have position. Position is paramount in poker.

You can not win a tournament in the first hour but you sure can lose one.

postflopper · Sep 29, 2012

it's not the results, it's whether u played it right.

still, one of the hardest for me to follow

"Don't listen to advise"

Brazilian · Sep 29, 2012

Every hand that you play you are playing all your stack

dan abnormal · Sep 29, 2012

it's to charge an amount where it'd be a mistake for villain to be calling (not giving them the right odds). I see quite a few players make these huge Overbets on flops, when in all likelihood they're only going to be called by hands that have them crushed... "&" the hands we 'could've' gotten value from we make fold!

do you know the only times i get paid off like this, NEVER cause of one reason

when in all likelihood they're only going to be called by hands that have them crushed... "&" the hands we 'could've' gotten value from we make fold!

I have mad respect for the person who told me this

To nitpick, this is not true if youhave everyone covered...

I always liked... In any tournament win, you will remember folding the best hand several times... and likely winning with an underdog a few as well.

Best piece of advice I heard that took me a while to understand:

"The chips you don't lose are more important than the chips you win"

TakMits · Sep 30, 2012

"big pots are for big hands" always remember that!

Goathair · Oct 2, 2012

" A raise on the turn is almost always the nuts. A raise on the river is always the nuts"

great advice. finally sinking into my head.

"every hand tells a story"
As in, betting patterns tell a story and that's how you work out what someone has, from starting off putting them on a wider range, and narrowing it down to a specific hand.

If you can work out peoples range to a good degree of accuracy then you beat the textbook players.

Using that to your advantage to tell false stories is how you get paid off or get a bluff through

Life's like a game of poker, if you don't put anything in there's nothing to take out.

After losing a lot of money trying to recover a bad session, I guess the best advice I received is "You can't win everyday".
