Poker

“unlimited is not that scary: the table I played usually came with $10-$25 raises, anything more than $25 indicates nuts (most of the time the player showed some or all cards). So $300 buyin will gets you lots of plays and you won’t be half stack empty after one play. calm down for the first few plays. I immediately lost all my $300 in my second round, I got ace straight and flop shows no flush. Someone all in and I called: they got four of kinds. Boom! I thought the player only got nuts or wanted to bluff at the beginning. I learned my lesson hard.”

“I remember my first time playing live poker, 2 weeks after I'd gotten into the game through online poker. I was so nervous and had such a colossal brainfart that I almost did a massive raise when I just wanted to call.”
