Top 5 Rookie Mistakes

Playing to many hands – you’ve got to be selective when playing poker. The old saying may go “you can’t win if you don’t play,” but it’s also true that you can’t lose what you don’t put in the pot. Playing mediocre hands that lose most of the time when up against premium hands will destroy your chip stack. By playing too many hands, you’re tipping the odds in your opponent’s favor.

Playing over your head – If you’re really a beginner, play at a beginner table. Many rookies think they have the game down cold just because they watch the WPT on TV all the time and they cleaned up while playing their poker buddies in the basement. Start out small and if you dominate those levels, move up. It will save you lots of money if you play below your level instead of over it.

Too much bluffing – This is another rookie symptom brought on by watching too much poker on TV. You’re not a poker pro yet, so don’t think you can act like one. Throwing in the occasional bluff is fine, but don’t fall in love with trying to dupe the table, or the players who know what they’re doing will fleece you.

Playing distracted – If you’re going to play poker then play poker. Don’t listen to your favorite tunes while watching TV and catching up on some of that work you missed while slacking off at the office. If you’re not totally focused on the game, you’ll make that one big mistake that sucks you dry.

Falling in love with your hand – Rookies who get monster hands tend to play them out no matter what happens. When they do pull in a monster hand and it gets beat, that usually means a lot of chips just went to their opponent. Remember, no matter how good your hand is, it is beatable, so don’t be afraid to fold if you know you’re beat.

Nice one!

Very good information. Especially playing too many hands. If you play every hand your chip stake will dwindle. It is best to save your chips for top ten hands and you will have chips to last till you get a monster. X

Indonesian police say they have arrested one of the country's most wanted men.

Abu Tholut is suspected of helping to set up a militia training camp in Aceh province, recruiting militants and raising illegal funds for "terror activities".

He is also suspected of plotting attacks on foreigners in Jakarta and the assassination of political leaders.

Mr Tholut was arrested without a fight at his home in Kudus, Central Java.

The 49-year-old - who is also known as Mostofa, Pranata Yuda and Imron Baehaqi - was detained by Indonesia's anti-terrorist unit Densus 88.

The suspected bombmaker is alleged to have previously trained militants at camps run by the radical group, Jemaah Islamiah (JI).

It is also claimed the former medical student established training centres for groups with links to al-Qaeda in the Philippines.

In 2004, he was jailed for seven years for the bombing of a shopping centre in Jakarta but was released early for good behaviour.

Indonesia has suffered a number of bomb attacks - mainly linked to JI.

Attacks on two nightclubs in Bali in October 2002 killed 202 people, most of them Australian.

The Marriott Hotel was the target of a bomb attack in August 2003 in which 12 people were killed.

Indonesia has introduced a combination of new laws, anti-terror training, international co-operation and reintegration measures to tackle extremism.
