| Read up-to-date information about the game. Books are good, but strategies changes all the time and many are not geared towards low-stakes online play. I recommend reading poker blogs ranked at http://www.top100pokerblogs.com for the latest information. Tip Credibility: 10 (Best Tip!) |
| Play live poker. The game is substantially slower than internet poker and this gives you to more opportunities to think carefully about your actions and the decisions made by other players. Tip Credibility: 9 |
| When watching poker on TV, liven it up by studying each of the players carefully for potential tells. Continue watching to see if you are right. A lot of amateur players have clear indicators which you should be able to notice. Tip Credibility: 9 |
| Play with real money, for small stakes, but only money you can afford to lose. Free games, although fun, don't really allow you to gain experience for paid games, as free players don't have any incentive to play well. Tip Credibility: 5 |
| Practice on Single Table Tournaments or Multi Table Tournaments. These are like the poker on TV and the most that you can lost is your stake. With cash games, you could lose all the money you have on the table. Tip Credibility: 5 |
| Don't rely entirely on your "friday night game" crowd for experience. Playing with strangers at low-end competitions is a great way to develop your poker strategy. Casinos everywhere are hosting poker contests almost daily! Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Before there was online poker sites to practice at, there was the "poker bible" called Winning Poker by David Sklansky. That is a huge book and covers everything. If you can read that book, you will be a winning poker player in any poker card room! Tip Credibility: 4 |
