Learning Poker: Posting Guidelines

[Dorkus Malorkus]

Welcome to the Learning Poker forum!

A brief summary of what should and should not be posted here, so that we can hopefully keep having to move threads around to a minimum.

What should be posted here:

• Any questions on basic poker concepts and/or rules. "What are pot odds?", "Why did my flush lose to a set in Omaha?" are good examples.
• Any other questions relating to getting into poker, for example, "What should I read as my first poker book?", etc.
• Topics with 'tips' and useful advice for beginners
• Freeroll strategy or play-money questions
• Basic bankroll management questions
• General strategy that doesn't fit into the Cash Games or Tournament sections

Generally speaking, if you are not sure whether a question is best suited to this forum or another poker strategy section, you should post it here.

What should not be posted here:

• Anything that is prohibited by the rules.
• Anything involving a hand history, unless the question falls under any of the 'What should be posted here' guidelines. Use the Hand Analysis forums or Brags, Beats and Challenges as appropriate.
• Anything that isn't a real question or advice
• Any in-depth questions relating to poker concepts. Wondering what meta-game is might belong here, but wondering how best to apply meta-game scenarios to a specific situation belongs either in Cash Games or Tournament Poker.

Book for starters

Good morning to you all.

I just got started at poker, I did get some books for general knowledge, but I wonder if there is one you would specifically indicate to a newcomer.
Also, I got these .pdfs here, may I upload them to this community?

This is a good question - but not for this thread. You would need to create a new thread in this forum.

Splitpot flush

Its still not cristalclear to me when there are lets say 5 hearts on the board. Is it always a splitpot?? When i have no heart in my hand and villain has the A or K Or whatever does he wins? and when he have a heart in his hand but not a high one does it matter? Im talking about a flush on the table 5 cards of hearts ..

Really like to read different articles about poker tips but the best way is to buy a book with all this poker tips which were popular 10 or 20 years ago and try all of them playing with your friends, then in a casino. That will help!
