LOL ok “always” is a bit much. Last night was the 3rd game in my life I have played. I played Texas Holdem with 5 other guys. Anyway, I am still learning but the past couple games I was up at the star and before I knew it, all my chips were gone and I didnt even notice.

Should I fold more at the start unless I get similar suits, or really high cards like Ace and King? If I get a 3 and 7, different suits for example at the start, should I always fold that?

Also I have no guts LOL! I am scared to bluff, not so much cuz of the money but cuz I want to keep playing and having fun. Yet a couple guys seem to always bet big.

I lost $50 and feel guilty, like I threw away money but I had a good time. Should I feel bad?

I play alot of poker - both online and with my friends - and normally i do well

My little brother has invited me to his poker night - and his friends always seem to take me to the cleaners!! - They all play any 2 cards - they raise with anything - call a raise with anything - so i never can put them on a hand!

They call on the flop with K high and no draw - put all there chips in on a draw - they have even called all there chips with Q 6 pre flop

But they always seem to win - or suck out! - I’m used to people playing tighter - so i kind of no where i stand.

i think i play with more fear against my bros mates - always think they have the nuts - or a good hand. -They do alot of bluffing

My friend who is better then me does just as bad against them!

Can any one give me any advice - how to punish people who call or raise with any 2 cards? - and how to put thoese type of person on hands? - So i trap or bet out? - raise pre flop more?

Thanks

Anita
