Poker Forum - Beginners Diary 2: Getting More Experience

Diary of a beginner 2

Having been fairly successful at my efforts at video game poker and having registered for a Freeroll tournament later in the week, I decided to gain more experience playing at a Play Money table at Doyles Room.com.

I had heard that the competition was soft and that appealed to me as a player with no serious experience. The pace was a little faster, but I learned some new terms like muck. I mucked up a couple of hands at the table but managed to make a profit.

Playing at a table with a Holdem limit table, I set out to cut my chops at online poker.

When all was said and done, I managed to make it out with my shirt intact and I learned some new things too.

Before today, “Muck” was only something that was in the swamp, but after the online poker experience, I now know that it refers to the dead pile in front of the dealer. I came out with a Play Money profit, but got beaten on a hand where I had a Flush, but another player had Four of Kind.

The competition was soft so I didn’t have to worry about getting schooled by experienced players. Next up, my first free roll.
