What Is FTR?

Hi, I'm Tyson and welcome to FTR! If you're new to FTR, this is what we're all about in a nutshell - to help the average Joe become a winning, profitable Texas Holdem poker player and to provide an active, friendly, and intelligent online poker community.

Flop Turn River.com has been around since 2003, when I started to seriously learn and play online Texas Holdem. My real education began in 2003 (even though I had played poker and holdem casually for many years), studying Poker Books, reading online materials, and eventually, joining and playing at an online poker casino room. My online poker adventure would begin on an impulse late one Saturday evening, after seeing a random Paradise Poker commercial on TV. I opened an account, deposited some money, and began to play Texas Holdem online for the first time. I joined where I played the $.50-$1.00 Limit Texas Holdem poker game.

As a brand new player to the online poker world, I was a pretty easy target. A "fish" you could say. A student of Sklansky's books, my poker education started and developed in the low stakes Limit Texas Holdem ring game where I eventually developed into a break-even player ...after dropping a bankroll of $700.

It's interesting though, I began experimenting with other variations of Texas Hold'em. I moved from the low stakes Limit Texas Holdem ring game to Limit Texas Holdem tournaments at . I played $10 Limit Sit-n-Go Tournaments (10 player tournaments), and started having a lot more fun playing Texas Holdem, but was still just a break-even poker player, even in this form of Texas Hold'em.

I then switched from Limit Sit-nGo's to the No Limit Sit-n-Go Tournaments, where I enjoyed greater success, graduating to a slightly winning poker player. I started to develop a No Limit Texas Holdem strategy that was working for me. I moved my game to , to take advantage of the new user bonus, and here I finally migrated my poker game to the No-Limit Texas Holdem ring game variation. I practiced my no limit texas holdem strategies at 's low stakes $.10-$.25 tables, while earning some free bonus dollars.

While figuring out No Limit Texas Holdem was the game for me and developing that strategy, I also learned that earning free money through initial deposit bonuses offered by the poker rooms was an easy way to pad my beginner's bankroll. I would take my game to , followed by , and would eventually join every other major online poker room in existence, taking advantage of new player bonus dollars wherever possible.

Party Poker and Empire Poker share the same network of players, yet you can have accounts at both rooms and therefore receive their great deposit bonus twice!

I also put in a lot of hours earning the big bonus at Full Tilt, using a Full Tilt referral code which allowed me to work off $600 in free bonus money playing no limit Texas Holdem.

Anyway, I would find my greatest success, and profits, playing this form of Texas Hold'em - No Limit ring games. Needless to say, by the latter end of 2003, I was a consistently profitable online Texas Holdem poker player, more than recouping my initial losses, and I've been tacking on poker profits ever since. I've been a profitable online poker player since September of 2003, and had a stretch of 18 profitable months in a row. These days I'll play any No Limit Holdem table with a buy-in from $50 (I only play these low stakes online) upwards to $500, and prefer to multi-table four tables at a time.

Becoming a winning poker player, in my opinion, was not that difficult. It took some time, it took the right variation of Holdem poker that I was most competent, and over a $700 bankroll in my case, but at the end of the learning experience, I developed a No Limit Texas Holdem strategy that would prove to give back so much more. Eric helped me publish the little poker knowledge I had attained onto the web to share with other players, and so begain this online Texas Holdem strategy website. Solid and proven no limit Texas Holdem strategy was surprisingly difficult to find online, so I delivered my own, and if you're a losing poker player, the strategies on this website will undoubtedly help you.

FTR has become so much more than my personal No Limit Texas Holdem strategy site since then - FTR is now a strategy site for all forms of Texas Holdem. In fact, FTR is anything and everything about poker. Strategies, tips, advice, and tactics were the foundations of FTR, but you can find good reads on a wide range of other poker subjects - especially in the depths of our very active and exciting Poker Forum.

Drop by our Poker Forum and let us know your progress - we are always willing to talk shop and help players out. The members here range from beginner players brand new to poker all the way up to seasoned professionals, so no matter what level you're at, you can feel right at home.

Online poker is a profitable pastime. And so much fun. There are tons of BAD players out there, and with the massive infiltration of poker into mainstream media - the World Poker Tour on the Travel Channel, the World Series of Poker on ESPN, Celebrity Poker on Bravo, Poker Stars Invitational on Fox Sports, and the list goes on - more and more new players are entering the online poker arena every day. And, dude, they don't have a clue.

Our goal is to help expedite your holdem strategy development by offering our strategies and advice...for free. All it takes is the right learning materials, the right feedback, and accumulating experience by playing hands and hands of poker. Now go study, play some poker, and make some money.
