It is very important to make sure your grammer and spelling is correct. I am afraid it is full of mistakes.
I have listed them below for you.
Here are ten of the most universially agreed upon tips to help you become a better, more profitable player.
Never play too many hands
Unless you hit high pairs every deal that is! A lot of beginners, including myself in the past have, have made or are making the mistake of playing too many hands. If you want to decrease the element of luck in your game, you should focus on playing those starting cards that have a high value.
Holdem or Foldem
Have you ever been in that all to familiar situation, where you have been dealt a mediocre hand but feel by judging other players that you have the best hand. You are called, but then you raise a large amount, a semi-bluff, only to see another player re-raise or put you all in. Yet in your gut you know your beat, but you still call because you dont want to loose that pot, or your praying your hand is better. But when the cards are on their backs you you should have trusted your gut and just stepped away. If you learn to be disciplined and fold when you know your beat, you will become a much tougher opponent.
Study your opponents
Although you cant see your opponents expressions when playing online holdem, you can still learn how they play just by watching them carefully. The ability to quickly establish how an online opponent plays and how they are likely to react to a particular situation takes time and lots of experience. However the beter you get at it will reflect in you win ratio. So instead of making a cup of coffee when you fold at the first round of betting, study your opponents, look at their betting patterns and make a mental note of everything.
Bets can tell a story
Some players use different betting techniques to learn more about their opposition. Some players may make a large bet at the first round of betting to filter out those players with low cards that may just want to call. This particular example is very common in Texas Holdem poker.
Get inside your opponents head
If you continuously study your opponent and are familiarised with his/her betting patterns start asking yourself questions when you play them. Ask questions like "what cards does he have if he is willing to raise", "what cards did he have the last time he raised in a similar situation" e.c.t.
Learn to bluff
This a very important part of poker. However, do make a note that betting big when you have nothing is not a very good idea. You may get away with it sometimes but eventually you will get caught out. This is a mistake that beginners often make. Bluffing should only be used at the right time and against the right person in the right situation. For example, if there is a low probability that your opponent will called, or if that opponent makes a habit of of becomming timid when large stakes are played.
Become unpredictable
If you can study a player and gain a knowledge of that player that allows you to accurately predict what type of hand they have by their betting patterns, your opponents can do the exact same. With this in mind you should try to mix a little bit of unpredictability into your game. Play some unorthidox cards and maybe bluff a bit, only when the oppertunity reveals itself though.
Use player position to your advantage
This means that if you are first to be dealt to it may be a good idea to play conservatively. For example, you hold a pair of 7s. You place a large bet only to see the guy beside you raise, then the next in line re-raise. You then wished you had just called! Another example sees you on the dealer button. This means you are the last to bet. You have the advantage of viewing all the bets before you decide how to bet.
Dont and cant need to be can't and don't also. This is just the tips page and you really need to put the rest through spellchecker.
