Tricks before starting to play

Choose the right game for your level and pocket

If you are a beginner in the world of poker, we recommend that you first start playing for free.

When you have more practice, start playing for money, but don’t move to a game with higher stakes just because you have won an easier one. It is better to be the best player at an easy table than the loser at a difficult table.

Don’t play if you’re in a bad mood

To play poker, you have to have a clear mind and concentrate on the game. Without any other worries.

So if you’re in a poker game and feel like you’re playing on impulse, it’s best to pause and relax. This will also prevent your opponents from taking advantage of your moment of weakness.

Pay attention to the cards on the table

It is essential to learn to read the possible table plays. Take at least 10 seconds to study the common cards and understand the possible combinations you can link. When you are sure you have studied the possibilities of ladder and colour projects, you will be able to act.

Don’t play all your hands

The typical beginner’s mistake, which also gives you away as a beginner.

You don’t have to play all the hands. In fact, if you do, you’ll only lose more. Be careful and if you get a bad hand, don’t hold on to it in the hope of improving it.

He brags, but only just

Don’t brag just for the sake of bragging. Doing so can be a very effective tool in poker, but only when the risk of getting caught is low.

Modify your game to throw off the scent

To throw off your opponents and prevent them from catching “your game”, you can modify your style of play in the middle of the game. This will give you an advantage over the others, as they won’t know when you’re bluffing.

Don’t follow a hand just because you have money on it

What you’ve already bet on doesn’t belong to you. Always keep this in mind, as another common mistake is to think that if you’ve already put chips in the pot, you have to follow the hand. When you see that you have no chance of winning, the best thing you can do is not to keep betting so as not to lose any more.

Don’t keep matching just to see your opponent’s cards

What does it matter if it was a bluster or if it had a colour scale? If you already know that your hand is not going to win, then walk away. It’s not worth continuing to lose money just to know what cards your opponent has.

Take a break when you need it

Our attention drops every 30 minutes. Don’t be afraid of missing a hand, it’s better to rest when you get overwhelmed or your attention wanders.

Tricks for after the game

Be a humble player and a grateful loser

That’s more like a tip for playing poker: nobody likes to play with a conceited person who likes to show off, nor with bad losers who make a scene.
