Guru's Little Poker Tip of Today - Nov.27 - Monday

At this time of year, everyone wants you to play in freerolls. My advice is NOT to do it, but if your cash flow seems to be uncooperative with your plans, go ahead. Go ahead but follow at least one big rule: Play only in the freerolls that DO NOT have buy-ins!

Why? Because there will be players there the first two weeks of December who will in fact, virtually buy the wins!

Don't ask me why now? I do not know! But for a long time now I have kept a personal record of strange things such as this that happen in POKER. And year after year, the very same thing happens during the first half of the Christmas month.

We can speculate with all kinds of reasons, but the FACT REMAINS! You will MAKE YOUR MONEY in the next couple of weeks as well as from then on, by leaving the freerolls for the beginners and finding a table to sit down at for a REAL Poker Game of Texas Holdem!

There are players willing to put more money into a Buy-In "freeroll" than the money in the winner's paw at the end of the tourney!

Now I must remind you that I AM in general much more in favor of playing at regular tables (ring games at ring tables) with from 8 to 10 players than any freeroll. I rarely play the freerolls. I encouraged you to at the beginning of your studies just so you would become comfortable playing without having to risk any any money by tossing an ante in the pot.

That was at the beginning! You have come so far now that I will start discouraging you to play in more than half of your time at the tables in freerolls. Go to the tables the rest of the time selecting the one "just right" table for you. Refer back to your notes or my lesson on the importance of choosing the right table.

Older members, please help the newer members with that lesson if they missed it! Together we stand or fall!

In fact, the time has come for all members to start offering help to one another. What a great Christmas gift!

Why now?

Because the time has also come to form our Poker Team to play against other sites! In a league! I am making the arrangements now!

(Orange Crush, you are just a regular member here at Poker Crush even tho you wear the six shooters and tin star at Casino-Crush! So please sign up to play on our team!) She is a VERY good player, gang, so all of you help me get her to do it!

And our dear Geno Da Man.......honey, we desperately need cheerleaders, so let's continue to be unique -- a cut above -- the other teams and have a sexy man for our cheerleader. You may of course, recruit as much help as you would like!

All of our games will be played on the internet.

The next step, as I see it, is for me to get a list of those of you willing to risk a bit for the good of all PCers and in fact all Crushers!

And my lessons and tips will come more rapidly as we play.

So PLEASE.........

Like "Baby Got My Poker Face On", post below if we can count on you to be a member of the team.

TeeHee. Guess who your coach will be! Tee Hee. Yes, the Guru.

i love buyins but i hate the buyins with rebuys & the freerolls with rebuys, you get ppl that rebuy just to play & not being sensible at all, they go all in & just keep rebuying, it's ridiculous to say the least, i have played in a couple rebuy games where it benefitted me to rebuy because i was able to cash in for more than i bought, but if i'm not catching cards, i'm not rebuying anything, you have to know where you stand in a game for rebuys, that's where logic comes in lol

valeria - 27.11.2006, 19:43
Post subject:

I myself think rebuys and addons are not a good thing. I feel if you haven't made it with what your dealt then just move on. It really isn't fair for those who put their head to the grindstone and work their way up through the masses.

I get much more satisfaction getting kicked out of a tourney that I fought and played my best in because I got bested than to just play and rebuy and play and rebuy not worry about each hands consequence. What kind of playing is that?

This is my own personal opinion however. For a beginner it is nice. I even used it myself once but it was because it was close to the end of the game and their was only 6 of us left. However, I don't think it is good practice to use it. You need to stand on your own two feet and brains to win not use rebuys and addons for cushions. You got yourself into the position you are by how you played so tighten your belt and start fighting back using all the knowledge Poker Guru has given us.

You don't see rebuys and addons in WSOP! hehehehe

I also think it is good to get your feet wet with your own money rather than just freerolls. (As much as I agree with this I really don't have the money to spare much so I do freerolls). The few times I was able to deposit I did OK and it was more exciting than play money.

The reason I say play once in awhile with your own money, is because people DO play different with their own money at stake than play money they can always get more of. It is more exciting because it is your money at stake too!

Man I am a blabbermouth today! LOL Sorry for the long post I was just voicing my opinion and got carried away..

Post subject:

I take it then from the responses above (ALL of them), that I should go ahead with the proceedings to get us ready and entered as an official team!

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I SHALL DO!

Also, every single person who posted is VERY APPRECIATED as being in on the very first Poker-Crush Poker Team!

There WILL BE freeroll-type tourneys, too, and we will just do our best, no matter what the game, and I expect no miracles! This IS a just-getting-started team and I fully understand that.

We will take our lumps and we will keep on playing and improving and then.....SOMEDAY..... we WILL BE THE INTERNET CHAMPION TEAM!

Nobody is to worry about making mistakes. I am NOT that kind of coach. Mistakes is how we learn best!

I am proud of you all for being willing to try, and I hope we still get more members! You guys, please work on getting more men for our team! We sure don't want to be accused of being gender prejudiced!

Oh, by the way.....I am not nearly as worried about the men misbehaving as I am about Orange Crush being the guilty one in getting something started! (I am also pleased as a punkin' to have her on the team!)

Now I gotta go to the bathroom because I'm not 100% sure if it was your post or another matter that gave me that feeling.

"oh dear me" is exactly right, Rainbow!

When it comes to Ms. Orange Crush, I hope I remain wise enough to never, never even attempt a guess at what she might have in store for me next.

Just like the rest of you, I remain ever ready to accept with great affection and respect whatever she tosses my way! And I always feel honored to receive it.

Cyciscyg:

I am not only counting you IN, but I am counting ON you being in!

You are a very welcome addition to our group!

By the way, you could help me with something.....a decision I have to make.

You are not very wordy, so I don't know how advanced you are in poker, but I am thinking of starting 2 sets of my lessons: one set for the members who have been with me from the beginning.....and another set for those few hundred who have joined us just since January of this year.

Do you think that would be a good idea or not?

ANY MEMBER: I would like to hear your opinion on this, too!

We would just have 'getting started" lessons as well as Advanced Lessons.

Wondering and deliberating.

Your PokerGuru

I think the 2 lesson program would be more advantageous for everyone.

Thank you, both, Bower and Wy! I appreciate and need all the input I can get from my members.

And your input was very valuable to my planning.

Sincerely,

Okay Guru ... just my opinion here

Couldnt all ur lessons be listed in there proper catergory as a sticky for both Beginner and Advanced??

Because Im not gonna lie ..but there has been many times I myself have had to look up certain lessons that u have posted.

But this is just a suggestion (opinion) lol

Im a dedicated Guru lesson follower ...I guess lol

UR DA LESSON MAN ...Guru

Thank you Poker Guru.
You have once again shown us, one and all, your true colours.
We are so lucky to have you.

I share Bower50's opinion
I often like to brush up with a back to basics lesson.
In fact, during inevitable spells when you dont play as well as you could do,
I believe the beginners lessons are vital & are the perfect answer to get your game back to its best.

Please allow me to be a part of this exciting prospect.
