Also, if you don't mind, then drop your highest wins on poker🤪

Bro just jump into some low stakes tables first and learn the hand rankings, you'll get the hang of it quick. My biggest win was like 2.5x my buy-in, nothing crazy but felt good fr 😂

Just hop in the micro stakes and play tight at first, you'll pick it up fast. My highest was a 4x buy-in on a PLO table, shit had me sweating lmao 😂

Just start with Texas hold'em, way easier to learn the flow before diving into other variants. Hit a 5x buy-in once on a lucky river card, still riding that high tbh

Yeah start with hold'em, only play strong hands preflop and you won't bleed chips. My best was turning $20 into like $140 on a crazy PLO session, nearly threw up from the adrenaline 😂

Tbh the best way is just watching a few hands on YouTube then hitting the micro tables, you'll lose a bit at first but it clicks fast. My biggest win ever was turning $10 into $220 on a Texas hold'em table, pure luck but I'll take it lmao

Start with Texas Hold'em for sure, hand rankings are the first thing to get down and the rest comes from just playing. Cashed out $300 from a $20 buy-in once and my hands were literally shaking lol

Just watch a few hands on youtube and then dive into the micro tables, poker’s mostly pattern recognition once you know the basics. My biggest score was turning $15 into almost $200 on a hold'em table, felt like a movie moment 😂

Man start with holdem obv but once you get the hang try some Omaha tables, the swings are nutty. Hit a flush draw with top pair once on a $5 spin and go, ended up cashing out $185 and I still think about that rush lol

Id say skip the YouTube rabbit hole and just deposit 5 bucks on a micro holdem table, youll learn faster when real money is on the line even if its pennies. Omaha is fun but the variance is brutal so stick to holdem til you stop bleeding chips, my biggest cashout was 120 from a 10 deposit and I still remember the exact flop lol

Start with holdem and fold more than feels normal

Once I bluffed so hard with seven two offsuit that I felt bad taking the pot, but hey, chips are chips.

Mcro tables teach bad habits honestly, easier to read once stakes matter.

idk i feel like just grinding micro stakes makes you a calling station, you never learn to respect big bets. biggest win was probably getting felted by a rivered royal like 8 years ago and somehow still being up for the night lmao

Just learn the hand rankings and then sit at the lowest stakes table for a while, the rest is pattern recognition.

Honestly the hand rankings are easy to memorize but what really gets people is figuring out when to fold a decent looking hand like top pair after the flop. I think my best single session win was around 80 bucks when I flopped a set and the other guy couldn't let go of his overpair.

i mean poker is baiscally just math with a costume on, you gotta know the hand order first thing. i nailed a royal flush once on a dime bet and made like 8 bucks, super anticlimatic after the shock wore off.

Fold until you hit top pair honestly its that simple.

Don't just memorize the hand chart, sit at micro stakes and lose a few small pots instead cause the real lessons come from seeing how people bet, not from staring at a cheat sheet

I still remember my first royal flush, the dealer nearly choked on his coffee and I just sat there frozen for a solid 10 seconds
