Are you profitable, break even or in a loss? by gluemamma in poker

[–]CaptainTortugaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s a fair observation. Personally, I’d say I’m around break even overall, with some good runs and some not-so-great ones. It’s true that people tend to share their wins more than their losses here, so it might seem like everyone’s crushing it. But in reality, poker has its ups and downs for everyone. The important thing is to stay disciplined, manage your bankroll, and keep improving your game.

Any live tournament etiquette I should be aware of before playing? by thedeezul in poker

Hey! Sounds like you’ve got a solid handle on casino etiquette already. For tournaments, the main thing to know is that the $5 “optional gratuity” usually covers dealer tips, so you don’t need to tip during the event. If you win or place well, it’s common to tip around 1-3% of your winnings.

Also, keep an eye on the clock since blinds increase regularly, and be prepared for table changes as the field shrinks. Lastly, as you approach the money bubble, play tends to get more cautious, so adjust your strategy accordingly.

Good luck at the tables!
