Start by playing Freeroll's, they can be tough but they cost you nothing if you lose, and build your bankroll slowly. Cash games are a totally different monster and will eat your bankroll fast if you are not a winning player, I know it can seem boring to play for hours, with little return at the end, but if you cannot win a Free-roll, what makes you believe you can be a winner at the cash tables?
Study up on Bankroll Management and stick to it religiously, it is the best lesson to learn, to be a profitable player in the long term.
When the fun Stops, STOP!

They say that limp is bad. A tight game involves limping a lot. Or I'm wrong?

Stay low
I see to many people with less then 50 bucks play 5 an 10 dollar tournaments an drop there bank roll
I play low starting with 25 bucks I play nothing over 2 dollar buy in an when I get my bank roll at 200 from small games I take my bigger shots
What's your strategy

Learn to monitor your flop percentages(how many times you call the BB). The lower the number over the session the better. Hot streaks are rare and don't last. It only takes one hand to lose your entire stack you work for all night.

What would you do with pocket aces ?
Is it a good idea to slow play pocket aces try it today backfired ! Just made a small raise player call me with 4-8 and caught 2-8 on flop went all in and beat me! So what’s the best thing to do slow play or big raise by the way was just the start of tournament ! TIPS?😭

When I started playing, I played cash games. Do not play cash games while you are learning, you will lose a lot of money. Read poker books! Even if at first they seem too complicated and even delusional to you, you will very soon realize that this is not so.

Here are some for you guys:
1 Play in position
2 Play only strong starting hands
3 Fold weakish hands early on the flop
4 Don't chase draws
5 Don't call big bets on the turn and the river unless very strong
6 Don't call all-ins
Good luck!

An advice thread for beginners thread is nice and well intended.
IMHO, no advice is worth a lot on its own when it comes to poker, at least not a sentence or two in a generic thread. This is not to dis the OP or the thread, just to throw some cold sobering water on people who think a sentence here and there will make you a better player.
Many players might look in here for "the answer" and the truth is there is no real answer. Poker is a very simple game. Playing consistent winning poker is not simple at all. This is not a contradiction. The game itself can be learned in a relatively short time.
What cannot be learned in the same short time? Knowing how to proceed street for street with any hand.
My advice is this: Know what you want from poker. That is the best beginners advice that comes to me anyway. If you want to have fun, well that is a lot different than if you want to make poker a small side income, which is much different than if you want to crush in a wsop which is much different if you want to be ab online HU winner which is much different than if you want to be a SnG winner and on and on.
Know what you want from poker. If you cant say "This is my goal" then I hope you are playing for fun and can afford to lose.
There will be exceptions but this is how I see it.
