If it can be played in a pub with no restrictions, then it's not a sport. Darts/Snooker/Pool/Any Card Game/Table Football are all out.

Well I never said poker was a sport, so I'm agreeing with you really.

Bowls?

[Matteh]

I reckon i could play bowls in a pub. Granted the floor wouldn't be of the same material, and i'd have to tell people to move for awhile, but i could do it.

A good portion of clubs over here have indoor bowls.

Don't do this too often though. Fifthly folding is ninety percent of your game particularly when there are a lot of players still on the table. There is noway you can bluff every single round or win every round. If you dont want these tips fine, I wouldn't take tips from a player in learning who has only ever played with two pees ( When I was only playing for play money) against his brothers dad and uncle.

That's the worse tactic ever, play your own game and let your opponents worry about there's, not only is it bad play it's bad ettiquette to boot.

The advise about pocket pairs is right, they're one of a begginers biggest downfalls.

With a pocket pair, you'll only hit a set on the flop 1/10 times. With a small pocket pair (7s or lower) you will probably only win a showdown in you make trips, it is very unlikely that there won't be any overcards on the board and if there is such a case someone has probably made trips or a straight themselves.

7s or lower imo are where begginers loose a big % of their chips.
