Trying my luck on real money tables

[mudsliptones]

Now, I've been playing poker for a while (like 1 year) but always with some friends who I started playing with (so they are far from pros) and playing PKR on the free money tables

I've been doing pretty good. Been watching allot of poker on TV and stuff

Now, the free money thing, been winning allot, even tournaments with 6-10 people (having trouble with the 50 people ones, always ending up between 10-20 out of 50)

But the real money, man, been playing for a month now, and it's been decreasing drasticly!!! As I watch the play, I always think, ok, good I folded since I would have had nothing. But if I flop something I hardly get anything cause the others have nothing or whatever, tryed slow playing, agressive playing...
My stack just keeps shrinking.

Now I never had the time to really read up on the calculating odds and outs and that stuff. I often read things like he's a 2:1 underdog with K K. How do you calculate that?
I need a good site for these things. Have the time now and really want to get into this poker thing.

So, help me wih winning some cash and please a decent guide to learning to calculate those odds.

I hope someone will help me. I don't know any pokerplayers (except for my friends, but they don't know how to play either)

Read the forums. There's thousands of posts. This question gets asked about once a month by someone new. Put some effort in and read.

The second menu item on the left on this website is Calculating Odds and Outs. Start there and then poke around some more...........

To beat the low level cash games, get a basic understanding of

>Starting hands
>position
>bet sizing + basic odds
>Then learn a few simple tricks like Continuation Bet and Check raise.

Just knowing that should give you an edge on 1c/2c or something like that. What stakes are you playing?

2 / 4 cents

I've been winning back all my money lately

Been playing some 1 dollars tourneys to, always end up 2nd, won just once and 2 times I finished last (with allot of bad luck )

so, without bragging, my game is improving
