Poker Tips
1) Be patient. Wait for a good hand and resist the urge to play with any two cards, just so you can be playing. Winning poker players are very selective about the hands they play, folding hand after hand until they are dealt a strong starting hand.
2) Most winning poker players are also good money managers. If you only have $100 to play with, don’t sit down at a table where it will only last for 10 hands. Adjust the stakes you play based on your bankroll, not based on how much money you dream of winning.
3) Have fun. Play because poker is fun and you enjoy it. If you find yourself playing just to get back money you’ve lost, it’s probably time to take a break or find a new hobby.
4) Don’t play with money you can’t afford to lose. Poker is a game of skill but there’s also a large amount of luck and chance involved. Even the best players lose sometimes, no matter how well they play.
5) Don’t play if you’re angry, upset, or depressed. You need to concentrate if you hope to play poker well and all of those feelings break your concentration.
6) Don’t be intimidated by playing in a live poker room for the first time. Ask the floor for help and let them know it’s your first time. Dealers are happy to help you as well, so don’t be scared to let them know that it’s your first time playing in a casino.
