If you are a beginner I would just stick to playing premium hands (AA,KK,QQ,JJ,AK,AQ,AJ) once you get the hang of it you can widen your hand range. But for beginner I would say this is a good place to start. I would also read some good texas holdem poker books to pick up some ideas. Just try and learn as much as you can and get better everyday

LOL, I have a good advice.
Dont deposit online. Once you deposit and lose that $$$, you will end up depositing again to get back that $$$ you lost. Then again and again. Before you know it, you will have alot.

Play trneys and or sit and gos. Experience and what you learn along the way is the best teacher.

Freerolls are the best to start for learning the ins and out. Way less money but your decisions wont be weighed down by cash influences.

Thats not the way it works online!!! When you first deposit , they let you win for a little while to hook you, then the losing streak and badbeats start. So dep. and play the biggest tournies you can afford, then cash out after 2 days.

Ah, J/K, don't do that.

Dont bet too many hands speciallly if u have a decent stack. When playing online poker its better to wait for a few players to get eliminated first then try betting high.

My advice is to read through the forums and other sites and you will slowly start to pick up the finer points of the game. I personally would start out with free rolls such as the ones offered here because then you are not out anything except the time invested. It is a long slow process and poker is a cruel mistress but it is an exceptionally fun challenge and you gotta love a hobby where you can win cash money.

There's tons of content that is free to everyone. Just google for it. Other than that and what's already been said:

  • don't obsess over bad beats bcuz negative energy breeds negative energy
  • play to win -- ya, that's everyone says -- but's that's a lie bcuz most people do not play to win
  • discipline in bankroll management
  • ****** have a complete disregard for money *****

To play at once on the money I did not become. To play freerolls it is possible, but not long. Books and video too is possible for acquaintance. And here find the person which could to learn and explain it would be remarkable. And if to study most that to begin I think with ABC poker.

I would recommend starting with the premium hands. Just dont start playing every hand your delt. I would recommend any high poker pairs or good suited connectors. I dont recommend playing 3 4 suited. Stay in the AK suited or like A10 suited. If someone raises pre-flop and you have 22 I would recommend folding. Stay with premium hands and I think you will do ok.

I forgot about the most important thing to keep bankroll management. The way u play depends on ur mood and ur chips sometimes but its always important to keep a look out for ur overall bankroll i wish i had been more careful about that but now tht iv gained experience for my mistake im gonna play safe from now onwards and within my limits which i set for the day.

The most important thing is bankroll management, follow that and things will fall in place, how you react to negative variance is also important, dont get on tilt and try to chase your losses during a downswing.

Get a poker stats program which tracks your hands.

You will hear a lot of people talk about which hands to play and oftentimes you'll hear about how good suited connectors (, etc) are. However, if you play them in bad spots or commit too much, the stats will tell you that you're in the red. Stuff like this can change your game drastically.

Always pay attention to the other chips on your table & not your own... If you always bet from yourself you will either get caught or get easily read on.

Best advice i can give is

read read read
play n try to remember what you just read and put it into practice what you read
between what you read and what you learn playing over time your game will get better.

i find after I've read a book i go back n read it agian so time later theres always something i missed or just needed a reminder of
