My tip is: play all possible freerols to gain experience.
The main thing is to be patient, calm and if the day is bad, rest and try later, or play the other day.
And also take the opportunity to study and try to have time available to do all of that.
Good luck my friends

AA is just a pair.
Everyhands a winner and every hands a loser and the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep. You gotta know when to holdem. Know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. Never count your money when your sitting at the table. There will be plenty time for counting when the dealings done.

Mind over matter
On a serious note. Dont slow play your big pairs and dont get it all in pre too often. Learn how to play post flop. Pick your spots and always try to do so in position. Money management and ICM are very important. Learn the 2-4 rule when getting a rough estimate of your card odds. Make sure your getting the right pot odds when you calling to hit draws. Dont get to high when you win and definitely dont get low when you lose. Poker is a game of patience not just waiting kind but the single mom with a dead beat ex and two jobs kinda patience.

"Value bet more and bluff less."
This was a useful piece of advice which helped me a lot when I was just starting out with poker. There is justifiable reasoning to loosen up slightly in the future and see more flops when you are able to out-play your opponents preflop, but at the smaller stakes just playing straight-forward and not bluffing much is going to work well in most cases.
There are simply many mistakes your opponents will be making (which you'll indirectly avoid yourself) by playing this way.
Good luck

Sounds simple, but this is valuable and true; you'd be surprised how many players simply don't put in enough into things like study, yet expect to magically improve.

Essentially, play within your bankroll and use good bankroll management before deciding to move up in stakes. This is easily researchable for what a "good" bankroll is based on the current stakes, game type, your skill edge, your willingness to go broke etc.
Just realize that many move up in stakes too fast, but there is also such a thing as not taking the leap to move up fast enough sometimes too. Realize that you could be making a lot more profit by playing bigger games (or course you could also lose more in those too, but by then ideally your bankroll should be able to withstand the variance there).
Agreed
Here is the cardschat 30 Day course for those interested:https://www.cardschat.com/forum/learning-poker-57/cardschat-training-course-455641/
For beginners, it is much preferred to value bet with good hands and AA is literally the best possible hand to hold preflop; it makes sense to be "ramming and jamming" with AA. However, I do believe there are occasional times to open-limp...even with AA.
Like many people learning poker, I also used to love trapping and I'd open-limp strong hands like AA a ton; this is a huge mistake. The fear that your raising will scare off everyone is compensated by the fact that you have to build the pot with your strong hands and so with AA we typically want to create a large pot to win.
Even if limping a lot with AA works for us (in our minds), note that poker isn't about how many hands you win; it is about how many chips you accumulate (sort of...but ICM for tournaments is a different and slightly more advanced concept). In summary, limping should generally be avoided and with strong hands like AA, we usually want to be raising and re-raising as value bets. Yes, tilt has taken down a myriad of poker players - including strong players. Similarly, you can get overconfident if winning, or punt of large stacks often if you are too loose with a big stack. Having control over your emotions will give you an advantage over a lot of players.
Yeah, even AA is only roughly 85% favorite against any random two cards. Trust in your poker decisions and realize that the statistics will balance long term. All you can do is study and learn to make sure you aren't being exploited and to make sure your decisions are indeed "correct." If this all checks out, then your "bad beats" will get overwritten by the slight edge you have in those situations (usually either range advantage, or simply the EV of those holdings versus Villain exact holdings).
