Feb 06, 2016 Hi, pretty much what the title says. I am loocking for a way or the best way to really learn poker. Not just to play with friends but to become good or see progression. How did you become 'good' at poker? What is a good way to get better at poker? Should I just jump into tournaments, play online, or just play a lot with friends? Play Gold Coin games for fun or play Sweeps Coins games for a chance to win Prizes. There's no better place to learn and play poker online. Global Poker is home to the best online poker events, including the Global Poker Championships where millions in real prizes are on offer. The rabbit hole of poker knowledge is so incredibly deep, that I could hardly believe it once I started studying. List of terminology and abbreviations. There are some terms that are not covered. If you come across something you don't know, just google it along with 'poker' and you'll find something that will help. Where to play online.
