newbie Question

[barhoom]

Hi Guys,As you all know im very new to poker (2 months now) but have got myself hooked. I played for real money today for the first time @noble and had a rude awakening lol i got hammered in the tourneys Kind of dis heartening, but did u guys have th same experience starting off?

[barhoom]

by the way their tourneys suck, the blinds were changing every 7 minutes, and it took 1-2 minutes a hand, damn blinds were killing me after 6 or 7 hands, considering you only start with 1000 chips

you're a novice, and yet you offer up opinions as though you know it all.huh???

[barhoom]

The only advice I offered was that you're an idiot, you don't need to know how to play poker to know that.

Barhoom, when taking up any pursuit, I think most people find they take a while to pick it up. If you are prepared to work hard at the skill sets needed to succeed, I'm sure you will be doing well before very long at all. As far as blind levels go, I think the Noble structure actually takes a little longer than most online rooms. For example, in Party skin SNGs, you start with 800 chips and the blinds go up every 10 hands. Personally, I prefer to play a tourney where the blinds are going up quick, as defending blinds and defending against attacking players are often the weakest aspect of most peoples' game, IMO. At the end of the day, as long as the rules are the same for everyone, all you need to do is vary your strategy to take best advantage.As a final point, with blinds at 10/15 for the first level, I find it hard to believe the blinds were killing you after 6 or 7 hands - you would only be 25 down (from 1000).yoyo

hmmm, your household is laughing at me. I dont know how I will sleep tonight. Instead of saying that I got beaten because im a novice, I should have taken your way out.Listen up everyone, Noble Poker is RIGGED!!!!!!
