Various Tips
- Learn table selection: remember the weak players that you have an edge over and stay away from the strong players that will beat you over time. Look for tables where at least 40% of the players see the flop.
- Make sure to have a good kicker to your Aces and kings; low kicker-cards create second best hands that are loosing hands in the long run.
- Let go of the pots when you are uncertain of the outcome. Don't call all the way to the river if your intuition tells you to fold.
- Strive to become unpredictable. Good players will eat you alive if they know you only play good cards. Raise with poor hands and call with strong hands on occasion.
- Look for tells in your opponents, try to remember how they play their hands. What hands they raise with, what hands they call with, how they play the strong hands vs weak hands and how they play from different positions.
- Don't play too high; playing when you can't afford to lose is destined to end in one way. You will quickly end up being broke. A normal bankroll should at least consist of 200 big bets in fixed limit and 1000-2000 big blinds in no limit.
- Don't drink alcohol if you're playing poker for the purpose of making money. The alcohol takes away the focus and concentration on the game.
