First off, good first post. In a game where egos run rampant for no logical reason, admitting you need help is a good thing. One piece of advice I can give you right away is to not make things too difficult at uNL games. Don't level yourself - tight ABC poker kills these games. Another thing you should be concerned with is hand reading, and I don't see any mention of it in your post. Putting players on a range of hands is the single most important aspect of the game. Along with your preflop stuff, work on this too. There's tons of threads out there about the subject. See the BC digest and the search feature.![]()
