Hey - I'm not very good with Texas hold-em, but I've leared a few of the basics... anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong: a) in general don't call or raise when you have crap cards... this is the biggest mistake newbies make is they think they can bluff through on ****ty hands all the time. Most people with good hands will pay to see what you've got, and on average you'll lose. b) change up your strategy so as not to be predictable. If you fold every hand for say 10 hands, then go hard on 1, people will think you've got a wicked hand... mess with their heads a bit. c) watch the other players closely to try and get a feel for when they are bluffing. Look for visual and betting clues that will let you know if they have crap or not. ... hmm i could go on for ever, I'll leave the rest up to someone else :P Thoughts?

practice online. Find some sites that let you play for free to try and get your skill up a bit, but still try and play like you had real money on the line. Might not get good, but at least you'll get a general idea on what to expect.

I'd love to do a regularly schedule poker night at our office... I'm tired of going out to the bars and getting hammered... I'd rather do it over poker where the beer is $1.75 each

I heard Halo was giving away free spankings in here. Forget about Rakebacks, this is incentive enough!
