I think it’s a little bit too specific to be valuable just yet for a beginner.
This is a good place to start on this forum:
Top 10 Tips
There are probably some poker slang in it but if you read the whole thread you’ll have definitions down the line. If I really had to pinpoint 3 things to do well as a beginner I’d say:
- Position is king (just search the internet in order to grasp the idea of position).
- Understand opening ranges (mainly don’t play too many hands and try to broaden your opening range when you are in position).
- Play simply, at least in the beginning (like your first 2000 hands).
I think a line from the movie “rounders” goes something like this: “bet big when you have a hand and small when you bluff”. That’s actually pretty good against classic “fishes” (a “fish” is a player not really competent and the “regular” make money on him hence the term, again it’s in the top 10 thread).
Then yeah you can add pot odds, ranges, equity, bet sizing, more advanced stuff like 3 bet, 4 bet, committed or not to a pot (SPR), squeeze, set-mine, iso, thinking in terms of combos but that’s a bit too early imo.
A very good thing too is understanding why you do things. There are always only 3 options that are : fold, call/check, bet/raise and that’s it.
Always ask yourself what do I achieve by doing something. For example when you bet you do it to achieve either two things (if I simplify a bit):
A. Trying to get a player with a worst hand to continue
B. Trying to get a player with a better hand to fold.
That is a very simple and efficient way of looking at poker.
