The first thing to keep in mind when starting out in this game is choosing the right level. You do not want to start the house on the roof and sign up for the most difficult games, either in person or online. It is better to be the winner at a simple table than the loser at a difficult table. Also, remember that the most important thing is that you enjoy poker and have fun. The fun doesn't have to be at odds with making money.

With this clear, you have to learn the importance of hands. It is not the same to be the last to play as to be the one to start the hand. Take advantage of when you are in the last positions of the game to observe your opponents and their way of playing and betting.

Some tics that are usually repeated, we can even classify them. For example: when a player looks at his cards too much it usually means that he has a good hand; That one of our opponents has perfectly arranged chips is a sign that he is a conservative player, so he will not risk too much and will only make big bets when he has a clear victory;

As important as observing your tablemates and their performances is observing the games together. Therefore, you must pay attention to the cards on the table. Thus, you will get information about the play and the possibilities of the other players. It will help you decide whether to follow a hand or not. And here, another tip. Do not follow a hand simply because you have already bet on it, if you clearly have no chance of winning, fold.

When you feel tired or your concentration is weak, take a breath. It is better to lose a hand and focus on the rest of the game than to lose the thread of the game and, with it, the entire tournament.
