since we'll probably never play against each other, what are your best hold 'em tips?
hands, reads, playing the blinds, etc.
got a game tomorrow night and i can't wait!

mix up your play.
if you never play 'so so' hands and always fold off the flop, they'll know you have something good everytime you call/raise off the flop.
dont' be afraid to watch everyones faces and hands (their real hands, not the cards). some guys who bluff or don't have that strong of a hand will touch their face.

ive had luck by selling a fake tell the entire game and then when it came down to the big hand, using that tell and then dragging them into the hand.

don't play. you'll end up with more money that way.
...or at least i do

I knew you were going to post first. haha
where can I play online for free to practice this stuff? I'm off today and this would be a great thing to try out.

the read i have the most trouble making is the guy who checks his cards after the flop.
depends on who it is, but I can rarely read that correctly.
any pointers on that.

there's a million of them mdobs.

it depends on your hand, jakeyj. if you think you have a better hand, slow play it with him. if not, try and bluff him out. if you get caught, you got caught. but now you know.
(work best when ahead by a lot of chips.)

Don't fish in the beginning, play conservative but aggressive when you have the cards!
I love the check raise move!

DO YOU!?! no really, i got drunk earlier and have no memory of what i did.

any of you dialed in on dead giveaways? this one guy i play with leans forward with his elbows on the table when he's got a good hand.

1. If you are going to play your hand always raise 3x the big blind.
2. Dont bluff in the begining. I dont consider betting a draw a bluff.
3. Dont consider suited cards a good hand unless they are connected.
4. I always play J 10 it is my magic hand

Although everyone I know loves the hand, I have never won with A K.
Ever.
Guy I used to play with would adjust his cap everytime he had a really good hand and sit up in his seat. He never could figure out why we all would fold when he'd raise.

3x the big blind? that seems a little hefty.

ya AK against reckless players seem to always lose,
I usually bet alot with a AK just to push out those 4 5 hands out there
