Poker Basic Strategies

•  Bluffing is an effective tool in poker if you fully know how to use it to your advantage. To bluff successfully takes a lot of practice and requires a conscious understanding of the odds and expectations.

•  One strategy in winning consistently is to find a game where other players play worse than you. So stop trying to beat the better players. The best way to improve your game is to practice your skills in low-stake games.

•  Experience is the best teacher. So play as often as possible and continue making research to expand your poker knowledge.

•  Don't play if you're tired, pissed off, or having a crappy day. Your bad mood will greatly affect your game. If you're having a bad streak at the table, take a break to freshen up.

•  If you have garbage in your hand fold fast and live to play another round.

•  Don't play too many hands. This is a dead giveaway that you're a beginner and your opponents will easily figure out what type of hands you play. Folding at the beginning when you have a bad hand is the smarter way to do it.

•  Be sure you know the rules of the game and that you understand the game variation you are playing.

•  Learn to observe your opponents, their mannerisms, their facial expressions. At the same time avoid showing your own mannerisms and emotion.

•  Watch the board instead of focusing too much on your hands. Being aware of the board gives advanced players to see the betting going on around them and take the advantage.

•  Keep a poker face. Your opponents are watching your every move. Every smirk or twitch will easily give away your hands especially if you're among expert players.
