blueday 16936 Posted October 12, 2011 I decided to compile a list of learning/help/training that is available at various sites. The help available is generally designed for new players but some sites do offer advanced poker play help. This will be an ongoing thread and sites will be added continuously. I'm going to start this thread off with: Blackchip Poker (USA OK). This site offers training videos and you will find the link to these videos at the bottom of their poker home page. Some of the subjects covered are Stretch Your Poker Dollar Fold Equity Low Stakes SitnGos Part 1 Multitabling 888 Poker (NO USA) offer some very basic instructions on the following: Ring Games Texas Holdem Seven Card Stud Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo Omaha Hi Omaha Hi/Lo No Limit & Pot Limit Games Face2Face In each section they explain the rules of each type of game, how to join them and how to play in each game. It is quite a useful tool if you are looking to learn the rules of poker, the betting, showdown etc. Underneath the list of games, you can find the heading "Poker Tips". Click on that and you will find some fantastic tips including: Mental Preparation & Hand Selection The Art of Bluffing The Dos and Don'ts Sizing up the opposition Knowing When to Fold and When To Hold Location, Location, Location These are just a few of the 44 available tips. Of course, I can't bypass the fact that this site is offering £5/$8 absolutely FREE when you sign up. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blueday 16936 Posted October 13, 2011 All In Poker (USA OK) offer assistance by "finding your leak". Basically this means their built in system (Excel boy) will find the errors in your play. The only let down with this is that you have to play 1000 hands before it will kick in. Ideal for seasoned players, Excel boy will send you an email after you have played those 1000 required hands and tell you your biggest error in your play, how much it cost you, the pertinent hands and so on. For beginners, there are likely to be more mistakes and therefore, the advice will not be as "targeted" as it would be for a seasoned player. Nonetheless, this is a fantastic tool and could prove extremely useful. Again, it would be remiss of me not to tell you that you can receive 5 free gold chips as a new player. ...to be continued 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
