The 2 Best Tips for a New Player
Posted in poker tips on 06. Mar, 2010
What a great poker tips question:
Work an you bankroll management, it’s one of the key of a winning poker player. Play limits you can afford to play, and feel comfortable playing. If you have a bad period, don’t hesitate to go down in limits.
Be aware of the betting patterns of your opponents. Learn how to calculate outs and pot odds.
At first, only play one table at the time. Only a skill player should play several tables at the same time.
Open an account in 2 different poker site with 2 different user name, so you can switch from one to another from time to time.
When you’re comfortable playing one form of poker and show profit with it, start to learn a different one.
Take care and good luck with your game.

Make calling something you rarely do. Raise or fold. I was a live player only and have started playing online and noticed that raising is very profitable, people tend to fold a lot more unless they have the nuts.
The players on line bluff alot !!!!
what you think couldn’t possibly happen….does. meaning cards coming up.
Avoid Willhill – it’s rigged in favour of new players. You’ll win your first few games then it’s all downhill from there.
If your no good at face to face poker, then you’ll be even worse at online poker.
Only bet what you can afford, if you cant spot the fish on the table you are sitting its YOU!!
Tip #1: Take your time..don’t let the "all-ins" scare you into betting, or folding…look at your hand, and if you’re not 100% comfortable with your hand winning, don’t bid. Never bid "all-in" before the hand starts..even if you have two aces.
Tip#2: DO NOT ALWAYS bluff, or never bluff…once in a blue moon will keep your opponents guessing. Sometimes a bluff is the ONLY way to win, but watch out for those who call you on it. And be VERY patient. People who are very impatient tend to leave the table first.
know when to hold & know when to fold….that is the bottom line of poker.
(1) never fold when you can check
(2) play every 3rd to 5th crap hand. alot bluff
Never be tempted to play for higher stakes than you are comfortable with. Look for sit and go Tournaments with the lowest possible buy-in price, to gain as much experience as possible.
Play each hand as it comes. Don’t be tempted to go all in just because you have not made a bet in a while. If you lose a hand, especially if it was a big pot, NEVER be tempted to try and recover your losses by going big on the next hand.
Talk a lot when you have something good when you have a lot of chips but when you run low talk when you have nothing. Got It????
Play quality starting hands. Playing too loose will get a new player broke nice and quick. So if it is not good enough to consider raising with, maybe it’s not good enough to call with. Look for reasons to fold, not reasons to chase draws and long shot hands.
Don’t be afraid to play lower stakes than you might expect. Sure it sounds cool to tell your friends you play at $20/$40, but you really want to play very long stakes while you get the hang of it. Once you beat the same stakes level on three sessions, move up. If you lose, move back down.
You asked for only two tips, but here’s a bonus: Try all three major poker games. Cash games, sit and gos, and tournaments. See which one you enjoy the most and which gives you the best return. Also consider trying more than one poker site. See which one you enjoy playing at the most.
dont get into it you’ll get hooked
