hello all, im very new to poker and would like to ask just how i should get started. which games should i play. i was told the freerolls were a good place but to beware that people will bet on anything and it will be hard for me to learn. which way should i go.

Even if it's not like money poker, u shoul first play with playchips to learn hands, probability, to accomodate, after that try freerolls, which in tha last stages, when few players are left, starts to "feel" like playing with real money!
Good luck!

I am a poker newbie too and currently I am trying to play poker with friends as often as I can and I really feel that this is helping me. There are more and less experienced players there usually and it is always great fun :-)

I agree, sometimes I will just track of time because this is so addictive.

As you said that you are new to poker so it is advisable that you start playing free online games. It is beneficial for you in gaining some familiarity and experience regarding the approach and regulations of the game. Once you got self-belief regarding your play then you can go for real money enthusiasm and thrills. But till then play free online games.

You won't learn much in play chips ring games. since there are most people just going all-in all the time. So you won't be able to learn ring game play there. The best is that you invest a bit money and try real low ring games, 0.01$/0.02$ no limit games are available on as far as i know on Titan poker and Pokerstars, so try them there.

Maybe first you should try limit holdem ring games, to get a bit feel of the game... try loose play at first, to se how you do. Then switch to playing Phil Hellmuth's to ten limit holdem hands - AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, 99, 88, 77, AK and AQ. After that you'll get the feel for the game.

If you want tournament play I suggest two sites: freerolls on Ultimatebet poker since there are many per day. If you want good competition even in freerolls the best site to learn is Bodog - you learn the most in their freerolls, because the ones I played there, the games were not so loose and you can try more stuff. Don't bother with playchips sit&go's and Absolut poker freerolls since they are way to loose and you'll only see all-ins all the time with crap hands and no real play.

There were great free limit sit&go's at Everest poker that could win you 0.05$ if you win them and after that you could go to no limit holdem sit&go's that buyin was as low as 0.05$. I played a lot there and learned a lot there. But i don't think they have that tables anymore. I also played in Gnuf poker freerolls with 12000 people in it, but I don't think there are so many freerolls there anymore.
