Fold good cards.
Nothing greater than to know you folded away what they needed.
Fold at a 90% average, including all the lovely starting hands.
It's a good lesson, if you are involved in a tourney with well learned players. I learn the most from watching and observing. You can sharpen yourself so well, that it's almost like the players are sitting in your living room.
and that's a confimation on 9 cents in the ol' PS bankrolly.
hope you learn something new from somebody

A Good Tip? Switch your style of play Often because players try to read and if you get there read Wrong Then maybe you can catch them and earn a few chippies
and yes my Ps Br is like 0 cents

Add a hand like A5 suited into your top 5 percent hands to raise with!!
its a good semi bluffing hand considerin your less likely to be called with AX or AA (reraise more often than not) n gives you the chances to make straights, flushes etc!
could even be a bonus if your caught out raising with A5s, opponents are then likely to misconstrue how u actually play!
this probably is amatuer advice but i think its something to give a try
Heres my tip. I was in a hand the other day on PS $3 sitngo 1 table top 3 make the money. I was delt Q 9 hearts in the big blind. Blinds were 50/100 and the button raised to 300. Me and 2 others called. The flop was J 8 5 all hearts. I check as the other 2 do and the button bets 200. I smooth call because i wanna make him think i have KQ or maybe chasin a heart for a Flush. The other two players just call as well which kinda worried me that maybe they had the Ace or the King. The turn is 4 of hearts. Ok now im thinkin im probably behind. I bet 100 as a value bet to see what kinda of action I would get (and hey maybe they fold) The 1st player re raises my bet to 200 everyone just calls the 200. Now 4 people going to the river. I have the most chips of us 4. The river card is a 10 of hearts!! I hit my straight flush. I'm still first to act and check (knowing that i was re raised on the turn the 1st player was probably gonna bet big) That he did. He bets 1k the 2nd player re raises and the button calls for all of his chips. I re raise to put everyone all in knowing i have the best hand for sure now. After every 1 showing the first player had 6 7 hearts ( un real he had me beat after the turn i can see why he re raised me now) But only raised 100 more? With a low flush like 6 7 , 3 4 or 2 3 i can understand but with a straight flush i believe it's better to bet big.I understand you want the chips and dont want to over play the hand but If he would have bet big after the turn there was a good chance i would have folded. Putting him on a Ace or a King of hearts which would have been better than my Q high flush. The 2nd players had pocket Jacks. I dont understand his reasoning in reraisin after the river withe 5 hearts on the board unless he believed none of us had hearts(Dumb Play on his part) The last player on the button had Pocket 8s. Now for me to flop a Queen high flush and be behind after the turn to a straight flush was really hard to believe. I never put that player on 6 7 hearts callin a pre flop raise off 300 with every one at the table playin tight. It was a remarkable hand that I believe I played pretty well(and the lower straight flush did not) This is my tip: If you hit your straight flush on the turn BET it. Dont wait around till the river and someone make a higher straight flush. Now I understand this is a very very rare hand. But for me i think the best play would have bet it big to try and take down a decent pot and play tight the rest of the tourny and make the money. Maybe this will help someone and win me $3 !!! Good Luck To Everyone!!

Resist the urge to shove with monster pockets pre-fop. If the flop shows draws on straights ,flushes, or there is a bet to you that would indicate poss set. Then string the hand out to give yourself the opportunity to get out of the hand without losing a good portion of your stack. WPG+NATIVE is in need of a bankroll starter
Id like to say the Importance of taking the pot down on the flop when everyone checks to you... Especially Important Late in a Mtt when people are tight, You can Pick up ALOT of chips fast espc if the hand is HU on the flop...
THE #1 TIP IS: DRUM ROLL PLEASE...................
Online Players need to stop OVERPLAYING AK on a missed flop!
If it doesnt hit consider folding or checking, I knock out so many people who auto allin every lowball flop, and sure enough they keep pushing their AK like its a set of rockets!!
Another of the tips is the Importance of a continuation bet post flop, If I raise say 175 with 25 50 blinds, you have to bet atleast 125ish IMO even if you miss the flop, checking opens the door for the other guy to steal the pot even with his 5 high. I again see this miss played ALOT... I will bet out almost everytime when someone checks a flop because the blinds have far out weighed the times Ive been check raised, although check raise is one of my fav moves
my sn is canIbetyet? On stars
and this is nice of you, I gave away some of my chips last week when I won in the freeroll to some fellow RB to start their rolls!

My tip would be to play position the right way.....If you see most of the table limps raise even if you have garbage because if anything you are probably in a coin flip or you will have very very live cards and most of the times you will take down the pot with the right raise...So to all New Railbirds remember to play position well and you will tak down some big pots and alot of small pots

Online you can get a feel for an opponent by being aware of how long it takes him to make his bet. In no limit, lengthy pauses followed by a large bet are usually bluffs, where as fast raises and quick all-ins are monster hands or monster draws. Thanks for this generous competition
