Top 10 Poker tips
#1 Never play with money you can't afford to lose.
Poker is
a game. Be ready to pay
for it.
#2 Play only at known, trusted
poker
rooms. Choosing popular and reliable
rooms such as
PokerStars,
Absolute Poker, or
Full tilt Poker,
allows you to play with ease, enjoying the highest standards of fairness and integrity.
#3 Know your game. Do the math and try to learn the odds. Visit the free poker
school at
PokerStars.
Read poker books.
Start by playing in
lower limit
games, then move up levels gradually.
#4 Play
tournaments. Offered by
top rooms such as
PokerStars or
Absolute Poker,
poker tourneys
are
the best way to gain experience and enjoy the trills of
real-money poker with a
limited risk.
#5
Play only good starting
hands. If you wanna
win money in poker, you should remember the rule of
playing only good starting
hands. Your position at the
table is a key to evaluating the strength of your hand. A fine starting
hand in the early position may be a worse hand to
play than a bad hand in the late position.
#6 Keep your Flop Percentage low. Flop Percentage is the rate of
players who put money to see
the Flop - the second round of
betting.
Fine poker players know the art of folding, and always keep
their Flop Percentage low, paying to see only around 20% of Flops.
Loose players
bet way more than
they should and lose money.
#7 Know your opponents. Try to spot the patterns in their
games.
#8 Bluff sparingly.
Play tight, but know when to bluff.
#9 Don't take it personally. Keep your emotions in check. Always
play
rationally. Keep your cool. Don't bring your frustration and fears into the
game.
#10 Know when to quit -
Playing
too long is the
#1 mistake in
poker. Don't chase your losses.
Know when to walk away. Tomorrow is another day.
