1.
Don't take anything you read as fact until you think
about it and do your own investigation.
2. Just because someone has many posts, doesn't
mean they know what they are talking about.
3. By offering advice in a constructive and
professional way, you will be more likely to receive
constructive advice when you ask questions.
4. Don't get involved in the politics or
petty squabbles that seem to pop up occasionally
on forums. They are rarely productive and can put
you in a poor situation.
5. Understand why you want to join a forum.
Do you need to learn about certain aspects of poker,
or are you looking for a community, or both.
I
have learned a great deal at poker forums and enjoy
the community aspect of them. Playing poker online
can be a solitary pastime, and it is good to share
views with like-minded people. I don't spend as
much time as I used to at them, but I still stop
by and check out the new posts a couple times a
week and often pick up some useful information.
If you don't take part in a poker forum, you may
want to find one or two that you can join, ask questions
and take part in the discussions. You never know
when you may learn just the thing you need to move
over the top. Until next week, good luck at the
tables!
