Welcome to the Learning Poker forum!

A brief summary of what should and should not be posted here, so that we can hopefully keep having to move threads around to a minimum.

What should be posted here:
  • Any questions on basic poker concepts and/or rules. "What are pot odds?", "Why did my flush lose to a set in Omaha?" are good examples.
  • Any other questions relating to getting into poker, for example, "What should I read as my first poker book?", etc.
  • Topics with 'tips' and useful advice for beginners
  • Freeroll strategy or play-money questions
  • Basic bankroll management questions
  • General strategy that doesn't fit into the Cash Games or Tournament sections
Generally speaking, if you are not sure whether a question is best suited to this forum or another poker strategy section, you should post it here.

What should not be posted here:
  • Anything that is prohibited by the rules.
  • Anything involving a hand history, unless the question falls under any of the 'What should be posted here' guidelines. Use the Hand Analysis forums or Poker Goals, Challenges and Wins as appropriate.
  • Anything that isn't a real question or advice
  • Any in-depth questions relating to poker concepts. Wondering what meta-game is might belong here, but wondering how best to apply meta-game scenarios to a specific situation belongs either in Cash Games or Tournament Poker.

Book for starters

Good morning to you all.

I just got started at poker, I did get some books for general knowledge, but I wonder if there is one you would specifically indicate to a newcomer.
Also, I got these .pdfs here, may I upload them to this community?

This is a good question - but not for this thread. You would need to create a new thread in this forum.
 
Good afternoon!

Could you please answer me if there is there any problem about posting a new thread to discuss a specific poker book?
 
Splitpot flush

Its still not cristalclear to me when there are lets say 5 hearts on the board. Is it always a splitpot?? When i have no heart in my hand and villain has the A or K Or whatever does he wins? and when he have a heart in his hand but not a high one does it matter? Im talking about a flush on the table 5 cards of hearts ..

hello could you answer my question if you have time? thanks very much
 
Really like to read different articles about poker tips but the best way is to buy a book with all this poker tips which were popular 10 or 20 years ago and try all of them playing with your friends, then in a casino. That will help!:jd4:
