Sitting Out
Hi Everyone,
Fairly new to the community and a true novice at poker, I’m hoping to get some advice from the group. My son who is in his third year at college had asked about playing poker and wanting to learn. I played many years ago with some coworkers a few times but nothing too serious and never stuck with it, so here I am. I’ve been reading a lot of posts here and trying to get up to speed.
So my first question would be any good sites or books for us to learn? Secondly, I want to get him a set of chips and until I joined this community had no idea there were so many to choose from (my FOMO is already kicking in). For college kids who might not appreciate the value of quality chips, am I better off picking up some cheap off the shelf set or spending a little more?
I’m thinking micro stakes for 4-8 players and a budget of $200 if that’s realistic. Let me have your suggestions and thanks in advance.
