Top 10 Tips For playing Poker Online

Many new poker player just jump into playing poker online but they never take the to learn how to play correctly.  Here are the top 10 tips for playing poker online.

1) Picking a casino. Try not to spread yourself too thin.  Many people go all out and become members to dozens of online casinos. Try not to be a member of anymore than 6 casinos.  Also make sure they have a strong reputation, because that's very important.

2) Betting limits.  When you pick a betting limit, try to keep it one of these choices here: $1/2, $2/4 or $5/10 blinds.  Anything higher, could really do some damage, if you don't know what you are doing. 

3) The Stake.  General consensus is that you have to have at least 50 to 100 times the big blind.  Anything less than that and you are lowering your chances of winning.

4) Picking a table.  You want to take the time to know who's at the table. Just watch for about 20 minutes to see the action on the table. Then spend another 20 minutes on another table.  You want to do this about 3 times. After it's all said and done, pick the table which you consider the loosest.

5) Picking a position in the table. Find the tightest player you see on the table, and sit beside him on the left hand side.

6) Make notes of how players play.  Pay attention to the style of each player. Notice how fast or slow they are to bet?  Do they fold a lot on the flop?  How aggressive or passive are they in their betting style?  These are all important issues that you have to pay attention when you are playing.

7) Lose the chat feature.  You are hear to make money and win.  This is not a social meeting.  You want that, join any of the millions of online chat rooms.  You're main goal is to stay focused.

8) No other distractions.  No TV, music, cellphone, or web browsing.  You think the guys from the World Series of Poker would be wathcing Deal or No Deal while playing poker?  I don't think so!

9) Play Tight.  The people who lose big in online poker are the ones that play really loose.

10) Limit yourself to one hour.  Play for an hour, then take a break.  When you play for too long, you start to lose your focus.  You need a little time to recharge your batteries.

A great book that everybody should read if they are interested in learning more being successful in playing poker would be online poker advantage.
