Question: Should losing poker players give other players advice on how to play?

(Posted by: kman on 2009-03-04 19:50:08)

I have seen on some poker sites that have message boards that you can give and get advice on how to play hands that people post. You can also go on sharkscope to see if the people giving te advice are winning players or not. For the most part that i have seen thepeople giving advice are losing money. Sometimes as much as 500 dollars or more. Since these players are losing, wouldn't they be giving them advice that is unworthy of taking. And the majority of these people probally dont realize that these players are losers.

Well this is fantasy sports but i play poker on full tilt all of the time the MOST IMPORTANT ADVICE IS BE PATIENT!!!!! people dont value this....they play low quality hands 9 handed, and get burned i can give you some advice if you need.... you can look my name up bowal79 I honestly wouldnt pay any money for advice, unless it was to buy a book from a PRO my advice for making money......play smaller priced tournaments.....i usually play sit and go's ranging anywhere from 5+ .50 to 30+ 3.....the higher the buy-in, the better the talent is....i usually play 4 tables at once.....(2) 5+ .50 and (2)10+ 1....it makes me only play quality hands..... my advice......play tight-agressive......my hand selection is very thin, but when i am in a pot, i will play at it, whether i hit it or missed it, because people are unpredictable.....9 handed, i will only play.....any pair, AQ, AK, or suited connectors.....i will fold AJ, KQ, or KJ, or A10 , and especially the OVERRATED QJ....people Value QJ too much.....9 handed, even if the blinds are only 15-30.....onnly because those hands will get you in trouble, ALOT.....i will start playing those hands 5 or 6 handed, when the blinds are bigger, and the DEAD MONEY is out.... when the blinds go up and up, i will play more hands, i will be given the tight image from when there is 9 players to 6 players....and when its 5 handed, and i raise alot of pots, people will be confused...i will be more agressive 4 handed than 9 handed....the less people in the tourney, the quality of the hands goes down, which means play many pots shorthanded any questions, email me WALLY7878@Juno.com i may not be a pro, but i am up around $1,000 only playing $5 and $10 games over the course of only 6 weeks

The key is overall winnings. If someone plays rags every hand, yeah, they´ll win once in a while, and even get on some hot streaks... That´s the way it is. However, taking odds into account and only playing good cards isn´t a guarantee you´ll win. Pocket aces are the best pocket cards, but look at how often they lose. Luck is always involved, so even the 'best´ players will have losing nights. If you don´t get the cards, you don´t win.

You can be given the best advice in the world from one of the best players, but if you get unlucky with the cards you can still lose.

Well, if they are better than the people they are teaching then it is ok. I mean, any advice would be an improvement on no advice wouldn't it??? Besides, not everyone wins ALL the time. It depends on your hand, and your attitude towards the game. It is a great game though.
