Hi there! I really don´t know what should I know before playing with real money. I deposited $105 on poker stars to play on the $1,5 games and went ahead and althrought I was lucky and won 2 games (the first 2 lol) I ended up losing almost $5 total. Althrought my 5 dollar set back is not a very devastating event, it was a real wake up call. I am a fish, and I´m going back to play money till I have a way of thinking this game. Soo, my question is: what should I know (and what skills should I develop) before I play real money? From watching the first 2 videos of PrimordialAA series "HUSNG from Scratch" I already have my standard ranges defined. I also learned about SAGE and learned about the need to adjust bet size to the effective stack depth. But apart from that, I know nothing, I found this article: http://www.pokertips.org/strategy/four-skills.php that talks about 4 key poker skills essential to have as a winning player, and one of those is counting outs and pot odds. They have another article on that site http://www.pokertips.org/strategy/pot-odds.php that explains it in a very concise and cool way, but I wonder if there is more than that basic overview to it... Anything else that I should read about on the subject of counting outs/pot odds? Oh, one last thing, any books that I should read? Suggestions are very welcomed. Thanks in advance, I´m gonna need some serious help (and study and work!) till I become a decent winning player capable of climbing from the micro to the low stakes. Thanks alot in advance again, have a nice one.
