Hello all, Relatively new poker player, I am 23 years of age. Back in my teenage years I would play poker once in a great while and was so-so at it.

Discovered this forum a few weeks ago and have been reading the crap out of it. I am going to download poker tracker and poker hud before I start. I am going to play a very tight UGT and MP, and play a little looser (suited connectors and A/8o+) on the CO and button pending how many hands are in. I believe a bet/fold strategy at these stakes is a good start for a beginner.

I am still looking for a really good thread on this board that explains the vpip/pfr numbers in relation to what you should do with your hand.

I am also unsure if I should start playing at absolute with its 150% bonus or FTP with its 100% bonus. Ive heard both are somewhat loose at micro, however.

Still need to comprehend EV and fold equity, as well as pot odds.


I am hoping to make this a profitable endeavour, seeing as I have lots of spare time in the coming months. I believe it is possible if you put your mind to it. 6 years ago, I didnt know anything about cars. I found a forum called svtperformance, and now I have a built 97 SVT Cobra. I am hoping to translate that here.
