Tips to play poker for beginners
As they say Poker is not simply a game of odds, moves and calculations, it’s a game of controlled and exploited emotions. As an amateur, a Poker player should be well versed with the rules of the games and the card rankings. I would also recommend getting use to the terminologies and vocabulary too. A few points that an amateur can look into:
- Don’t play every hand, unless you want to
- Be attentive and always be aware of your table position
- Always try to guess what other players have
- Never be afraid to fold
- Start from the Low stakes
- Practice online a lot, a lot of websites provide free rolls
- Play within your capability; never get carried away with your winning hands
- Patience is always a virtue
Basic Poker Rules
- No-Limit Hold’em is a card game. It utilizes a standard 52-card deck, can be played online and offline (live), It has elements of both skill and luck.
- It can be played by anywhere from 2-10 players at a single table. If you have enough tables and space you can actually play with thousands of players using the tournament format.
- Before that you know about Hand Ranking Rules.
What is no-limit holdem poker?
- Hold'em is the most popular of all poker variations.
- Every player on the table uses two hole cards or just even one of the hole card to form the best five-card combination with the community cards dealt face up on the board.
- There are four rounds of betting
- any player can put all their chips in the middle at any round of betting. That’s where the ‘no limit’ from No-Limit Hold’em comes from. You can always double or triple the hand any time of the betting rounds, but Poker is a unpredictable game and you can lose all your chips at any given time.
- If you’re looking to learn one poker game - know about No-Limit Hold’em rules would be the apt choice.
What is pot-limit omaha poker?
In Omaha, you get four cards instead of the two in Texas Hold'em, but you have to use exactly two of those four along with three of the community cards. The betting rounds are the same as in Texas Hold'em, but the best starting hands in Texas Hold'em - such as pocket kings or pocket aces - are not as strong a favorite in Omaha.
Most online poker rooms and live poker tours offer Pot Limit Omaha cash games and tournaments, where players are not allowed to bet more than the amount already in the pot.
- Every player on the table is dealt with 4 hole cards, faced down. After the pre-flop betting round, 3 community cards are dealt face up on the table which is called ‘the Flop’. This betting round is followed by ‘the Turn’ where the 4th card of the community cards is displayed to all the players on the table. The final betting round is the last betting round called ‘the River’ where the 5th card of the community cards is put up on the board. In every betting round each player has 4 options, to Check, Call, Bet, Raise or Fold.
- If you have a good knowledge about the betting round in Hold’em, Omaha poker is very similar to it making your way too easy to learn the process.
- As the game Omaha poker is derived from Hold’em poker, these games are very similar to one another. Most Hold’em poker players find the game Omaha poker very easy to learn and play effectively.
- One of the main differences of Hold’em to Omaha poker is the number of hole cards, Omaha poker is played with 4 hole cards instead of 2 hole cards as in Hold’em. In Omaha poker, the highest hand wins but players must use two cards out of hole 4 cards they are dealt to form the best 5 card combination.
HOW PLO GAME WORKS:
- The only other thing you need to know regarding Omaha Rules before you start playing is that in PLO you can’t always just shove “all in”.
- The “Pot” in “Pot Limit Omaha” refers to the maximum bet or raise you can make when the action is on you.
- The rest of the game is the same as NO LIMIT HOLD’EM POKER.
- The size of the pot, which is defined as the total of the active pot, plus all bets on the table, plus the amount the active player must first call before raising.

How does the Game work?
The dealer deals everyone with two cards starting with the player on his left and ending on him/her.
The player on the dealer’s left is the first player to act and they have a choice of:
this is No-Limit Hold’em so they can bet ANY amount they want
Giving up the hand and all the chips they’ve already committed to the pot
- From there the dealer puts three cards face-up on the board. These are community cards that anyone can use. This is called the flop.
- Once again everyone still in the hand gets a chance to bet and consequently raise or fold.
- The dealer puts the fourth card on the table that anyone can use. This is called the turn.
- Again, everyone gets the chance to bet/check/raise/fold.
- The dealer puts the fifth card on the board that anyone can use. This is called the river.
- For the final time, everyone gets a chance to bet/check/raise/fold.
- Odds of winning vary by the number of players, and gameplay becomes more challenging as more players are added.

Strategies
The basics of solid poker strategy involve many concepts that you must combine to become a consistently winning player. The following concepts are crucial to learning poker strategy:
- Tight play
- Aggressive play
- Random play
- Taking advantage of the mistakes of other players
Keep these concepts in mind as you develop as a poker player.
Some Poker Strategy Considerations
Decisions for the New Poker Player
Decide whether you want to play poker to win or to play for fun. To play at a consistently winning level requires both time and effort. In other words, it takes work. There is nothing wrong with playing poker for fun, but there is no reason to plan to lose, even when you are playing for fun. However, deciding which type of poker player you want to be before you start will make your decisions and sessions easier.
Make Good Decisions – the Results Will Follow
Even the best poker players in the world have losing sessions. Don't make the mistake of expecting to win every time you play. Your goal should be to play to the best of your ability in every session. If you do, the cards and winnings will take care of themselves as you improve. Many players make the mistake of judging their poker playing ability based on the results of each session. Your goal should be to make the best possible play every time. The closer you come to this, the better your results will be.
The Mathematics of Poker
Poker is a mathematical game, and it’s a game of incomplete information. That may sound complicated, but it really isn't. On a very basic level, winning poker starts with the selection of which starting hands to play. If you enter the pot with the best hand more often than your opponents do, you will win more times than your opponents.
Beyond Starting Hands
Starting hand selection is fundamentally important, but it’s only one piece of the poker strategy puzzle. Once you have mastered solid starting hand guidelines and understand how they change by your position at the table, the next area you should work on is your play for the rest of the hand. The area that separates professional players from amateurs is that professional players tend to play much better than their opponents during the remainder of the hand, after the starting hand decisions are made. This is especially true concerning the decisions made at the very end of every hand. These skills involve calculating pot odds, recognizing betting patterns, bluffing, and using position. The years of practice necessary to master the middle and end game play are well worth the effort, because even small improvements in a player’s abilities can have a tremendous effect on that player’s lifetime winnings.
Avoiding Tilt
Another meta-skill that should be part of a winning player’s poker strategy is avoiding tilt. Your opponents will use your emotions against you, but only if you let them. Emotional play results in poor decisions and lost money. Tilting and steaming can happen to anyone, and sometimes the only cure is a break from the game. That’s okay; the game will still be there ten minutes from now. In fact, it will still be there tomorrow.
6 poker tips and tricks that make you a better poker player
1. Don't Play Every Hand / Do Fold More
Probably the number one mistake beginning poker players make is that they play far too many hands. When you're just starting out playing poker, you want toplay poker, and that means staying in hands that aren't very good just to be part of the action. But playing more doesn't mean winning more, it usually means losing more. If you find you're staying in on half or more of the hands you're dealt, you need to upgrade your starting hand requirements.
2. Don't Bluff Just For Bluffing's Sake
A lot of beginner's understand that bluffing is a part of poker, but not exactly how. There's is NO rule that one must bluff a certain amount or at all during a poker game, but many players don't feel like they've won unless they've tried a poker bluff. Bluffs only work in certain situations & against certain people, and if you know a player always calls to the showdown, it is literally impossible to bluff that player. It's better never to bluff than to bluff 'just to bluff.'
3. Don't Stay in a Hand Just Because You're Already In It
Another common mistake beginners make is to think that 'Well, I've already put that much in the pot, I have to stay in now.' Nope. You can't win a pot just by throwing money at it. There may be cases when pot odds warrant a call, but if you're sure you're beaten, and there's no way your hand can improve to be the best hand, you should fold right away. The money you've already put in the pot isn't yours anymore, and you can't get it back just by playing a hand all the way to the end.
4. Don't Call at the End of a Hand to 'Keep Someone Honest'
This one follows the last tip. I see a lot of players look at another player's final bet, look at the hand, and say 'I know you've got me, but I have to keep you honest,' as they throw in a final call. It may be worth it to see if a player really has the hand they're representing; you're gaining information that will help you later on. But if you really feel a player has the hand and you're beat, why give him another pile of your money? Those bets will add up over an evening.
5. Do Pay Attention to the Cards on the Table
When you first start playing, it's enough just to remember how to play and pay attention to your own hand. But once you've got that down, it's incredibly important to look at what's going on at the table. In Texas Holdem, figure out what the best possible hand would be to fit the flop. Make sure you notice flush & straight possibilities. In 7-card stud, pay attention to what's showing & what people have folded when you consider calling opponents.
6. Do Pick the Right Game for Your Skill Level and Bankroll
One of the reasons you shouldn't jump into a $5/10 game after winning a huge bunch of money at $2/4 is because as the stakes rise, so does the average skill level of the players sitting there. You want to be one of the best at the table, not the fish who sits down with sharks. If you're making stacks of money at a lower level game, why move? You're winning stacks of money. The swings up and down at higher limits are much bigger, and one big night's win won't last long at a high-stakes game.
