Many beginners make the mistake of getting too excited when they see pairs on the preflop. They would see a pair of 7’s, and then they get excited so they go aggressive on the bets before the flop. When the flop comes out with no 7’s, but see lots of face cards, that is when this person will start to sweat. What happens next? This person might start calling or checking, and the opponent will start raising on you.

Do not make that same mistake next time! When you see hands like this, you need to be one of the last to bet before the flop. You want to see how your opponents are betting first. If somebody goes crazy with high bets or all-in, then you need to fold it. You should just call it if the bet is quite low.

If you decide to play the hand, and you cannot catch triples on the flop, then you will have to see what the opponents are betting. If they are going aggressive here, then it is time to fold. Do not call on raises at this point.

If you do catch triples on the flop, do not get too excited yet. Simply do a small raise because if you go crazy, people will assume you have a very nice hand and they will just fold. You want everyone on the poker table to add some money in the pot. Poker has a lot to do with psychology so keep things subtle.

I have been following this winning strategy for a long time. This has made me earn over $100 per day on profits easily just by playing a few tournaments a day. Follow along as I explain my strategy of how I win money in poker.

I usually start the day with $220 to play. That is just my own little rule that I follow. You don’t necessarily need to follow that, but if you like then go ahead. Every day, I only play 10 sit n’ go tournaments, and I will not play more than that because I have discipline. Most poker players do not have any discipline so they end up losing a lot of money.

You can’t expect to win in every tournament, but even 2^nd and 3^rd places usually got a bit more than what you have put in. I play in tournaments that are $20 + $2 buy-ins.

When there are 7-10 players in the beginning, always play aggressively with AA, KK, and QQ hands. You can also play wired pairs and suited connectors, but not as aggressive.

When there are 5-7 players left, continue to play aggressively with high pairs. Do not call or check as this shows signs of weakness, and your opponents are reading you!

When 4-5 players left, this is when you knock out the short stack players so do not let them chase cards. Raise big on these people!

Do not start to relax when there is 3 people left. If you end up as 3^rd place, you usually just get back your buy-in money. You need to go all-in with high cards. Pair of AA, KK, QQ, or even AK, etc.

If you get to heads-up, and you are the chip leader, make sure you keep putting pressure on your opponents with raises and all-in.

Never lose focus in poker and always stay calm. Good luck!

If you are a beginner in poker , you might be very excited when you see AA, also known as Pocket Rockets, and KK on the pre-flop. Most people are just as excited as you because you have a very high chance of finish to win this poker hand.

Should you aggressively raise the pot when you see this? Some people would say no, because they want opponents to stay in. If you just raise a little bit, you can slowly suck your opponents to put their chips in more and more, and then later in the end, you either continue to raise more, or you just go all-in. Now, if opponent backs down, then that person will lose lots of chips that they have already put in.

How many times have you notice everyone folds when you go crazy on the raises in before the flop? Almost every time! This is why it is to get subtle and pretend like you have a mediocre hand. After the flop, you should do a check, or just call. Now, your opponent will think that you don’t have anything good in your hands, and think that you are just chasing after cards.

On the river, if you catch an Ace and you are the first to bet, then you can start off with a check. Your opponent might try to scare you with a bluff. Always check to see if there are any possible straights and flushes on the table. If not, then this is when you raise whatever your opponent puts out, and possible go all-in. When you win the pot, your opponent will know better next time to try something like that to fool you. A lot of times, winning in poker has a lot to do with psychology.

Bluffing is not an easy task in poker. If you do it too often, people will just call you out on it. If you do it too careless, then you will screw yourself over. You can follow these poker tips to help you become a better bluffer.

How many people are in the pot? If you have more than 2 opponents to worry about, then you might want to avoid bluffing. Most likely one of your opponent has a very good hand. The more players there are, then the more likely it is that someone has a good hand.

Assuming you are playing in person instead of online, just look at your poker hand casually. Do not give away any weird faces or expression. People tend to read your faces in poker.

In the pre-flop, you must raise, but do not go aggressive when somebody is raising you back. You can almost be sure that the person has a very good hand. It is time to fold when that happens, and your bluff will not work out. Do not be a fool by continuing.

The bet after the river card is very important. If there is a possible full house/flush/straight on the table, then you can possibly pull a very good bluff at this point. If your opponents were not betting aggressively through the round, then you can almost be sure that the person was just chasing after cards. If they are all checking at the end, then it is time for you to put raise the pot. Almost 90% of the time, your opponents will all just fold.
