Really fun game...

My advice to you if your playing for money is as follows

-Don't always pay to see the flop, espcially if you don't like your cards
-Work out a system of when you will play the flop. I tend to play with Ace anything, K/Q/J with a 7 or better, also if you are suited it could be to your advantage to see the flop. If you are the blind (where you ante) always see the flop since you are already in.
-If you pay to see the flop and you don't have anything, fold right there, no use in wasting money if you are already down.

Basically I would play tight, remember you play the cards because you think you have the best hand.

Be mindful of how other people are betting, watch the cards when they fall and watch how people check/bet/ or raise. If the first person checks you can assume either 1. They don't have dick or 2. they are trying to make you think they don't have dick, that way they will raise you when you bet.

If people are checking around, It might be in your interest to bet, see if you can muscle them out. Remember you bet for two reasons 1) to make people fold 2) to increase the pot.

This is what I have learned by going to the card house. Remember though it isn't JUST knowing what to do or JUST getting the cards... Its knowing what to do when you get the cards.
