Play in 20-30 of the freerolls here you will know everyone's playing style.
Welcome, as some pro poker player said, "It takes a day to learn the game and a life time to master". Think it was Doyle, don't remember for sure. Being 65 myself, there's a lot of things I can't recall. LOL,,,,, Take care and have fun...

yeah rule 1 is patiance.....then maybe pick up a poker book learn your preflop hand strengths.....and again patiance......you never want to be playing in to many hands....i know somethimes you always see a guy early in a tourny throwing chips around and winning with everything....he never wins in the long run....sooner or later someone will caatch him and break him.....so just remeber....patiance
My beginning strategy was to just play tight. Don't call with weak kickers on suited hands like A-8 A-9 was a hard lesson for me to learn for some reason.
Yep learn to only open your range in good position too don't fall in love with a10 aj utg.
Have you tried the Fun Steps on merge network? I've been slowly building up a bankroll playing those.
thanks for the tips
