Quite like texas hold'em, only tried single player upto now but it's not bad.

I've done a CBT tutorial and got virtually every part of it right, so I've at least got the basics down. The rest is just practice and luck.

Must find the links again for some practice games.

We could always set up a few BD freeroll tournaments in the meantime.

I got it - but I need to learn how to play

Would be great if someone could go through it with me...

I'd be happy to play through a few hand with you, I'm online now, if you want to give it a go then fire it up and invite me when you see me online

May do that if you are still about later? I'm working through some lesson preparation at the moment

I mean I could read the instructions but I'm such a beginner they still don't mean much! (believe me I tried!).

The game itself is simple enough, Texas Hold 'um is one of the simplest because the options are so limited, you bet on the hand you are dealt and it relation to the 'community' cards (turned over in the centre). So all you have to do is assess the odds at various different stages and decide if you want to stay in the game (which costs you money for the pot), that in essence is it

If you see me online give me a shout and well set up a room and I'll talk you through it.

Aye, that's all anyone really needs to know. The longer you play the more you start looking at things like pot odds (the relationship between how much it would cost you to stay in versus how much you could win), knowing the number of outs you have (the number of cards left available that could turn your hand into a winner), and reading the playing/betting style of your opponents. I class myself as a decent poker player with several years experience behind me and I'm only really now starting to take these things fully into my game, so it's not really something any beginner should worry about
