Questions from a Beginner Poker Player

Hi everyone,

I've recently started playing poker and have a few questions that I hope more experienced players can help me with.

1. What books or resources on poker strategy would you recommend for a beginner? I've read a few articles, but I'd like to dive deeper and learn more advanced strategies.

2. What's the best way to learn hand ranges? I've noticed that many professionals use the concept of ranges, but I haven't quite figured out how to apply them correctly in the game.

3. Should I play free online games or jump straight into real money games? I want to understand how useful free games are for skill development or if it's better to start with small stakes for real money.

4. What common mistakes do beginners often make in poker? I want to avoid typical mistakes and progress faster in the game.

5. Which poker sites or apps do you consider the best for training and playing? It's important that the platform is reliable and offers the opportunity to play with players of different skill levels.

6. How do you develop mental resilience in poker? There are times when a series of bad hands shakes your confidence. What's the best way to deal with such situations?

I'd really appreciate any advice and recommendations. I want to learn to play poker at a higher level and avoid the common pitfalls of beginners.

Thanks and good luck at the tables!

Dear Scott White,

I think its better you will use internet for your guidance to learn poker. But if you want control then must be a physical teacher who will teach you. It's the tips as a friend from me.

Start watching Daniel negreanu on youtube. He have plenty of video to choose from, you can learn many poker games also he teach strategy and how to read people. He does live session on youtube and twitch and also he have great sense of humor, so it's for sure not boring. Actually he is the reason why i started to play poker and now for more than 10 years I'm a winning player, but of course i play occasionally, every weekend because i have good job and don't want to risk it, but extra cash is always nice 😀👍
