Would you give a newbie info on how to play poker during a MTT? Especially the different poker games?
Let's say you're in a Omaha Hi/Lo MTT freeroll (or buyin, i don't think it matters) and there's a newbie on the table asking questions and nobody is answering. The newbie asks you personally "how do I play this game?"
Would you tell them how to play properly?
I would and do give them the basics, but anything more in depth i wouldnt bother with, its their loss
I probably would give them a quick kind rundown - I would be careful not to aggravate other players . After all there is online poker schools . I for one would not enter a huge tournament table not knowing how in the world the game is played . It will be their loss eventually if they didnt go study something even if no one answered there questions. Not alot of players give up there strategy - It is poker man what are the chances that you will belied to by some unforgiving player ??
I would say yes as i remember the first person who taught me how to play and i appreciated it very much
I dont think i have the patience forr giving them any more than the basics of the game
nope no advice don't think i k ow that much myself i would tell them to google it or go to site help area
I would ask him what he is doing.
Yes i would help someone if they never played before.
Even tho it ends up costin u easy chips??
Everybody has to learn sometime.....
Yea but it doesn't make it your job to teach him. I went in debt big time from thinking I knew how to play. It put me in my place real quick lol
I used to try to explain some of the high point strategies to a newbie but then someone at the table said "TAKE DON'T TEACH". In the next 10 minutes we both had a share of the new players $100.00 sit down cash. So I'm a big believer in "Take don't teach".

The first time I was asked for info, I gave it and the bugger took me out... ha ha ha, just my luck
harsh, but with the economy what it is, take what you can get i guessQuote:

I know everyone has a big heart in this forum but come on.. You can't make money if the donkey's win. That's how poker works, best man wins.
yup, that's what i tell my buddies, there's no friendships on the poker table!!!!!!! we'll get drunk(er) and have fun after the tourneyQuote:

I'm more than happy to pass along the advise I wish I would of gotten when I first started playing. I spent ALOT of money learning how to properly play the different games I play. If anyone would like help, let me know and I will be more than happy to help.
