Hi everyone!
I've just started playing texas hold'em with friends about a year ago. I really like the game and ever since I've tried to read a few books about them to improve my game. We always play home ring games with about 6 players for about 5 euros (= 8 dollars) and we occasionally go to the casino ourselves to play to lowest no-limit tournament games in the Netherlands. Now the reason I joined this forum is off course to improve my game.
I've just read "Mike Caro's book of Poker Tells" but I'm finding it very hard to really pick up on tells in the home games. I know all the theory, but in real life it's very hard to make it work.
Can anyone give me some basic advice?
I know it sounds like a really dumb question that can simply be answered by "just keep trying, you'll get there eventually" but I could really use some guidelines.
E.g.: If a player goes all-in, how can I see he's bluffing or not...
Tips like that.
Thanks in Advance!
