Online Poker Tips

These are the column's tips of the day, each one written to be read in under a minute and used that evening. Collected in one place they work better than they did one at a time, because the pattern behind them becomes visible: almost every tip here is about gathering information cheaply before the pot gets expensive.

Studying the community cards, reading the big blind, checking a stack after an unexpected raise and betting purely to find out where you stand are all the same instruction in different clothes. So is table selection, which is the one most new players ignore and the one that costs them most — the strongest decision in online poker is made before a hand is dealt, by choosing who you sit with.

A second group is about discipline rather than information: not chasing, not expecting the river to rescue a hand, and changing gear when you change game. Read in order from the top, the tips move from what to look at, to what to stop doing, to how to review your own play afterwards through hand histories.
