Play within your bankroll, and abilities.

Good players go broke because they play above their bankrolls. It's like Daniel Negreanu said to Mike Matusow on HSP asfter he was bragging about how good he is, "You can go on and on about how good you are, Mike, but you forgot one thing. You gotta have money to play, son."

Answer 13

If you are not sure, fold. It doesn't matter if you think you might win, because you probably won't. And even if you would have won, it doesn't matter. Don't be greedy so you can fight another day. It is the worst thing to fold, but if you wait until you have a good hand, then do it. It is the only way to win. Don't be scared to fold if you have a handfull of pants-play to win. And you will.

Answer 14

you have to have a very good luck. aside from your poker skills you really need to be lucky. i've played lots of poker games and boy lots of games are won/lost by just pure luck

Answer 15

You must understand the relative value of your starting hand.

For example, if you are in first or even early position, A 9 suited or 8 8  is not a great hand. If you are in very late position or on the button and no one has called or raised, they become much better hands.

If you are at a tight table, these hands have value, at a loose table they have less value because you may get too many callers, increasing the chances of an outdraw.

In Texas Holdem poker, it is how you play the marginal hands that partly determines whether you win or not.

There is a system to evaluate your starting hand called the Texas Holdem Dynamic Point Count Super Strategy. It takes into consideration the actual hand value, your position, the type of table, (loose or tight), and the betting prior to your turn.

Answer 16

Think before acting!

If you can do that consistently, then you are already on your way down the straight and narrow poker path!

Answer 17

Study your opponents.

Study them hard, you may notice they may take a brief moment or something of the sort when they get a bad hand.

Also don't over bet with money unless you are almost positive you can win, such as a Royal Flush or A straight Flush even a 4 of a kind. And even at that don't place to much unless you are absolutely sure you can win. I lost a few hands with 4 of a kind Aces and Straight flushes too.

And most importantly don't stress out to much if you get a bad or good hand. Try to remain as emotionless as possible.

Answer 18

Always think about what the other person may have.

Answer 19

Don't fall in love with your hand. You may get dealt AA but on the turn if there are 4 spades out there and you ain't got one or there is a straight out there you gotta fold as your pair now means nothing.

I've seen many people lose money like this as they just get mesmerised by their aces.

Answer 20

Don't EVER sit down at a poker table (real or online) if your mind isn't 100% committed to playing flawless poker.

Don't play hungry.  Don't play angry.  Don't play lonely.  Don't play tired (HALT).  If you can't focus on the game then wait until you can.  When you sit down you should be focused like a laser beam, and if you're not you might as well just pull out your stake and set it on fire.  When you're distracted by other things going on in your life than you'll miss something at the table, and everything you miss will cost you money.  Your brain is your biggest weapon at the table, don't leave it at home (or at work, or at your girlfriend's, or at school, etc.).
