Welcome @KatsyCoL to PCF. I'll give you a free buy-in to our home games if you want to give poker a try, and you can also contact me or post on the forums if you have any questions.

Players have been using GTO solvers online powered by AI. There was a big scandal in 2024 at the WSOP final table, where the champion Jonathan Tamayo was accused of receiving real-time assistance (RTA) via GTO solvers from his rail.

All of is under your control, and you should be able to recognize when players are playing a certain way towards you. Your table image is based on the hands you play, and how you play them. Typically players that only been playing a few hands, they're waiting for monsters.

It's a skill, no doubt. Daniel Negreanu is one of the best with good "speech play". It's a big part of his game, talking to other players for information.

Straddles. I never seen any online poker sites add a feature/rule where players can straddle in cash games.

This is what helps prevent me from tilting, and breaks.

This is my reaction to being slow rolled..

My tip for new players is to play tight, and go with the flow. Try to develop good habits with bankroll management..etc. What's the best advice for new players trying to be a winning player in tournaments?

Since I started playing on StockPoker. I never had much use for crypto before that. I'm very skeptical about leaving large amounts of money in my crypto wallet.

Thoughts? Do you think any major sporting events are currently rigged? I think some fights may have been fixed, or rigged. Such as Jake Paul Vs Mike Tyson. I'm not convinced on team sports being rigged.

Any updates on your progress @royalflush122096?
