You could be playing a childish game for fun and to just wile away the time or you could be playing for high stakes, but irrespective why your playing one has to be extremely alert and attentive or one will find one self at the losing end.
If you are fond of winning all the time then along with skill you need to have a few tricks up your sleeve and an iota of luck.
If you've been playing for some time then it is important to stay humble and not get over confident and cocky.
An important point to remember while playing a card game like poker is to restrain one self and not play one too many hands.
When you just start out playing poker you want to jump right into the game and starting playing, but that would mean that you've got to keep playing even if the cards you hold are not good so that you are still part of that round.
However if you are playing under those circumstances then even though you are playing you are also losing more than your winning.
If you finding that your losing more than your winning, then its time to re-evaluate your starting hand requirements.
In your starting hand requirements one must learn to recognize and understand with which of the starting hands that are dealt to you are worth staying in or folding.
Another important poker tip to remember when your about to start playing is that you should not be drunk.
What I mean is not even a little bit because you might think that what is a drink or two going to do and that a drink or two helps you relax but sometimes all it takes is that drink or two to impair your judgment and the next thing you know is that you have bet all your chips foolishly and now your out of money.
If you are playing at home or at a friend's house just for fun and that the bets are not serious then it is OK to be drinking.
A point to remember for beginners is that in a poker game there is no compulsion to bluff.
You can win even without bluffing though some players do not feel that they are playing poker and winning until they win a bluff.
At such a time or rather for such people I would say that do not bluff for bluffing sake.
Bluff only when you are sure you can win the hand.
Bluffs can only be used in certain situations and on certain people.
Another point that beginners must remember is that you do not have to stay in the hand because you are in it.
If you have already put money in, there is no way you are going to win if there is chance that the cards you are holding can be turned into the best cards at such times it is better to fold early on before you lose more money.
By playing the hand right to the end will not help you get your money back because you lost that money the moment you bet on a bad hand of cards instead of folding.
