Poker Journey

Starting my journey. What’s your golden rule

Bro, my golden rule is simple—know when to fold. Don’t chase bad hands just cause you’re tilted. Gl on your journey.

Fr, that’s the realest advice. Patience pays off big in poker—don’t let ego burn your stack. Gl man.

Fold pre, win more. Sounds stupid but tbh it’s the leak that kills most new players.

Don't fall in love with a hand just because it looks pretty pre-flop. Position and discipline over ego, always.

Fold when you're beat, not when you're scared. Biggest leak I fixed early on tbh.

My golden rule is bankroll management, if you don’t have that locked in, the rest doesn’t even matter tbh.

Bankroll management 100%. You can play perfect poker and still go broke if you're not properly rolled for the stakes, ngl.

I stopepd shoving with top pair on the river after losing three buy ins to a guy who never bluffed once in two hours.

Are you starting with cash games or tournaments, because the golden rule shifts a lot between the two

ngl my golden rule is protect the bankroll bro, one bad tilt session can smoke weeks of grind ?

Honestly my golden rule came from a mate who watched me spew chips with suited connectors every hand and just said "fold pre, you muppet". Still catch myself reaching for those hands when im bored but at least i pause now.

I once folded kings preflop and the guy showed aces.

Fold fast and fold often.

dont look for fancy rules. just dont pay off the rocks when they suddenly wake up on the river, too many people still call there thinking its a bluff

my golden rule is less about starting hands and more about noticing who at the table flinches when they see the turn card, learned more from the face than the btes

oh man starting out is rough, my golden rule is just dont look at your balance while playing

Noticing the flinch on the turn card is the kind of detail that separates live play from just grinding charts online. I started really paying attention to that tiny pause or chip shuffle and it honestly gave me more reads than anything else.

i started tracking everytime i got stacked and realized i was the sucker at the table 90% of the time so now my rule is just leave when im the fish

My rule leans toward table awareness over memorizing chars because the biggest pots come from reads, not math.

lowkey ngl bankroll management is the real goat rule never risk more than u can afford to lose fr ?

Do you stick to that rule in live games only or online as well?

Every time I fire up a microstakes game I treat the 5% rule like a sportsbook stake and it keeps the tilt away completely.

ngl, bankroll management is key, don't go overboard and stick to your limits ?

dont slowplay monstesr in low stakes, just bet hard

For me the biggest leak I plugged early was simply never playing when I felt rushed or distracted. Blocking off a solid 90 minutes where I can actually focus on the table, not my phone, changed my win rate more than any strategy video ever did

Do you always stick to that rule even whne you're on full tilt
