Top 10 Online Poker Tips

All of our articles are filled with fascinating information and helpful ideas on how you can improve your poker, however for those that do not have the patience to read through the entire web site (or those who are just slow readers) here is a breakdown of our Top Ten Tips:-

Always play to your bankroll.

Yes, we nag constantly about this, but it is an excellent habit to get into right from the very beginning, and could save you a fortune over time. Select your game from where your bankroll allows you to play – at least 300 times the Big Blind for a cash game and 20 times the buy-in for a Sit ´n´ Go or Multi-Table Tournament.

Sit down with the maximum

If you sit down with the maximum amount allowed for the table, you are more likely to win more from your best wins.

Sit to the left of a good player

A little bit of table observation will guide you to who the best player is. If you sit to his left, you will always have the advantage over him.

Keep the fish to the right

As the money is circulating clockwise around the table, you will be able to pick your betting action after all the fish have played when in late position. As so many fish go into the pot pre-flop, there will be greater value in a good hand for you.

Keep notes on all the players

This is especially important for knowing where to sit on your next visit to the tables. The more comprehensive your notes, the greater chance you have of winning on each subsequent session.

Sit out the first blinds and watch

There are going to be players that you may not be familiar with when you first sit down. Observe them for a while – this will give you some valuable clues about how to play them.

Pick the right table

In the lobby you will find a “Players per flop” column. Aim for the tables with the highest percentages, as these are the tables with the players who have the loosest opening hand criteria. They will be paying into pots they have little chance of winning, so you should go and take advantage of them.

Know your odds and your outs

By understanding your chances of winning and the “expected value” of betting at specific points of the hand, you will always come out a winner.

Never show your cards

If you have just won a hand without going to showdown always muck your cards. Never give the opposition any free information about you – make them pay for it every time!

Never bluff a “weekend” player

“Weekend” players are the loosest, passive “calling stations”, who will call/check every hand all the way up until the river. Although these guys may start with nothing, if you are not favourite pre-flop, the odds are firmly on their side.

That is our Top Ten Tips for the new player just finding his poker feet.
