If you want to play and win in poker be it free online poker fun or the highest stakes games in a casino at this game you must use these simple rules that I have learned the hard way by losing money. Most of the time we lose playing poker as a result of beating ourselves,not by being beaten by other players.
However, when you follow these basic, common sense rules you will only ever be beaten by a superior hand, not by poor play.
1. Conserve your bankroll by only playing quality cards pre-flop. So, only play hands such as pairs, face cards, connectors and suited connectors.
2. Remember, a pair is the lowest hand in poker even if it is Aces. Because of this you should not bet on them during the hand at any time. If you are in a cheap hand you should try to stay in but don't bet on it.
3. If the flop does not help you, fold. If the flop does not help your hole cards Fold. Do this and you will conserve your bankroll for the next play.
4. Never try to buy a straight or a flush.
5. Be sure that you do not fight a straight or flush. If the community cards are straight or suited someone at the table will have the Straight or Flush. In the rare event that nobody does you will still save your money, but most of the time someone will so don't fight it.
6. Watch the suit of the flopped cards, I have seen so many people who have a flush staring them in the face get smashed as they didn't see it.
7. Never ever go all in preflop. This is the free online poker classic donk play and is only for donks, fools or for fun messing about games with friends. I don't care what you have in the hole. This is when the donkeys will kill you with plain old dumb grass munching luck and it happens all the time. You think your hole As are great and then some donk will move All-in with 7 3 and win! Just keep to the plan and fold, wait for your next chance. The only time to break this rule is if you are up 1000% to your opponents. And I have seen that backfire many times too.
8. The biggest one of all - Patience. If you aren't patient you will lose no matter how good your skill. Books have been written on this core poker skill so I won't go on about it here.
So there you have eight fundamental rules for success in poker, or rather eight rules for not losing which comes down to much the same thing. These are simply outlines of approach so make sure you read up in more detail on them in poker books or in free online poker coaching lessons and definitely make sure you practice and play free poker games online at NoPayPOKER.com before risking any of your dollars.
