I could say, know your opponents and play them, find the fish and beat it, manage tilt but I guess you want specific online tips like HUD's and not just poker tips. So for online poker:

Track your opponents in Sharkscope

Use odd calculator and icmizer

Take advantage of the many freerolls offers

Be a member of cardchat cause it offers best advices and freerolls

Be a member of multiple poker sites to get advantage of bonus and offers

Search for the softest fields in poker sites and games

Have an edge by having an expertise in a specific online type of game

Find the best rakeback offers

Ghosting so you dont get emotional or gamble

Use the autoexclude yourself when under tilt

I read the article and find all 10 tips for appropriate and useful to follow.

As Debi mentioned already - the correct BRM is something should be add, and some other says also to learn as much as possible who in fact are your opponents. That could be learned in many ways, using poker ranking sites or some HUD tools, of course.
In the beginning I started to label and input some notes about opponents, but due to several problems I faced with PokerStars last couple of years - I was recommend to reinstall the software on more than one occasion, thus loosing all the info stored there - so I gave up from this at one point. In the end, when it turns to CC Events - I have direct experience with most of the members, so actually the written notes are not so necessary

the tips in the article seem excellent, I will provide 10 very interesting additional tips


1.- A very important consego is to have nothing pending to do, to have enough time to play to occupy all your mind in that tournament and not be worried about something that you have to do


2.- there are tournaments that beginners should not play, tournaments with RE/BUY and ZOOM


3.- Do not play many tournaments at the same time


4.- Be humble and do not think you know everything, in poker every day you learn something new


5.- If you are going to sign up for an important tournament, make sure your internet is well


6.- If you lose a hand do not be discouraged, overcome it quickly


7.- If you are going to play an important tournament, just dedicate yourself to play, do not get distracted by social networks or chat, a minimum distraction will make you take a bad decision in any play


8.- Manage your bankroll well


9.- Know your opponents very well at the table, that will give you an advantage over them


10.- Be aggressive and selective with your cards, do not pursue projects on the flop with many players in hand

For me, winning at online poker encompasses a number of key points
1) No starting hand is unbeatable
2) Bad beats don't happen - variance and a mistake do. Learn to get over one hand and move on
3) Bankroll management is key - play within your means
4) Never stop studying
5) Review hands constantly - both your own (won and lost) and others posted and play out different scenerios to learn how to adapt to different situations
6) Stay away from jackpot SNG's and re-buys for now. Focus on strong MTT or cash play - but not both. Each require different skills to win

For me, winning online poker includes four key points,

1. Bankroll management is the key to success.
2. Never stop learning
3.If you decide to win poker tournaments, don't waste a lot of time playing cash games and Vice versa.
4.To stop the game in the state of Tilta Is the state of the player when he is not aware of the correctness of the actions taken at the table .The result will be a single loss.

A lot of great right advice. I'll add a couple more from myself:

Do not be lazy to read these tips above and think about what you can do in your game right now. It really works.

Keep your statistics. Keep it separate from the poker room and special programs - just write down your bankroll. This is especially useful if you play in several poker rooms, and also play different formats and disciplines. This will help you track where and in what formats you have great successes and where you lose money. For beginners, this will help to choose the right direction for development.

Always pay maximum attention to your bankroll management. This is the most dangerous mistake that very many players make. It is the insufficient attention to bankroll management that reduces all your successes and achievements to nothing.

If you are still building your bankroll (and this process can continue throughout your poker career) - be sure to use all the opportunities provided by the CardsChat forum. New knowledge, useful advice and the opportunity to win some money for development - thank you CardsChat!

Good points all of them.

I would give a bit more value to 1, 3 and 6 and I would definitely add the aspect of following a strict bankroll management, either you are a cash game player or an MTT player. I think that creating an uplifting work environment is one of the most underrated aspects of playing online poker. Finally, don't forget the patience factor and thinking long-term.

I do not know if it's good advice but I believe in Online poker it's good to have a friend of yours next to dealing with poker so that two minds have better result
of course every day I try to get better reading and seeing other players on the internet playing!

Good stuff in the article, I will add be sure to include YOUR LIFE since even making some extra play money requires tons of time. For instance sunday funday for 10 hrs netted me $3 .

I have been able to see excellent tips and very good recommendations for playing poker online ... some I already knew them and others I will include them in my game ...! thanks to all the people who share their knowledge and help us improve our game ..!

Never before has used the software for playing poker. There were attempts to master the holdem manager. Rather get from its use of the advantages in the game. However, from simple notes I got more benefits. In general, I need to get acquainted with the software, which was discussed in the article.

wow, thats a lot of tips now, not just ten..... hehehethanks guys!

I think "don't be distracted" is the most important. Maybe "don't use software" but only if you want to be a good player. Not sure if it's about winning player.

Very usefull article, on one hand gives the physicall tips and on the other hand the software tips. We could also add the study of maths and the some behavior tips coming from philosophy. For examble two good debris : "When you have luck act with measure whe you do not have luck act with wisdom" and "the most unlucky person is the one who cannot withstand his misfortune".

This is a great article for those that take their poker playing seriously and hope to make some money. I would add: Find a game that you're good at and concentrate on that. Whether it be Holdem, Omaha, Turbo, Hyper Turbo, sit&Go, Multi-table, Cash, there's usually a game that we can consistently profit with. That's the game you use to build your bankroll. This will enable you to fund the occasional lapse into other interesting games without draining your account.

Very good tips.

Ones I would like to add:


Read Poker books
Read online content like here on forum
Review your hand history ever so often to look for areas of improvement
Have a good startegy or routine to counter tilt when it happens.
Enjoy the game it is a game after all, have fun.

10? I dont think I would come up with 10. I can give only 2: dont burn your BR and dont tilt I guess =)
Most of the players a looked at are not bad, but they catch a downsing and try to make bomney back with higher stackes... and well that goes bad (especially on a down swing LUL). Most of the info is out in the open so getting info is not hard but applying it might be a struggle for alot of people. I can understand That having a week-month-1/2 year downsing is not ... ideal?... but tilting away in a daily500 is also not the answer... or is it? +)

I’m beginner. I don’t know will advise but
I think most importantly is bankroll.

If your starting out , start with low enty game, the larger tournys are enticing, with big paydays but also have much more expierenced players . Try to play sattys to gain entry to larger games
Distractions will often cause player's to make mistakes, either by playing a hand poorly or missing out on information of others at a table
Playing a single table/game ,altho maybe boring ,takin notice of ur surroundings/notes will take up that lagDont lose confidence when having a low stack, tilting equalls giving up,

One thing I like to do is save several of the hand replays from key showdowns and then pick them apart after the fact ... call it an after action review ..post mortem whatever.. but it helps me and I can figure out if I made the correct decision or if I identify leaks that need to be plugged, then research solutions, and implement them for further analysis later ...

Learn to be aggressive without being maniacal and its a fine line.

Someone above said never stop learning ... I have to say that is near the top for me ...

Lastly I would say be humble ... to me that makes a difference how I see my play ... and puts it in a more honest light ...once you have determined you were wrong ... problems are easier to fix .... for me at least ...

You guys are adding some awesome tips - keep them coming!

bankroll management its the most important of a succesfull player, study of course but i think you must set a goal on poker and know how achieve it ,define what kind of player you ...are cash player ,tournament and focus on that

from the list of tips point 3 is where I am failing, I usually play many tables and sometimes I lose concentration.
that's why I'm going to play in one table, if you can
and of course as it says dakota-xx "Practice good bankroll management".

I have been playing for many years, with various breaks and can say that I still play as a beginner. I can also share tips that I try to follow.
1. It is necessary to take into account their position and available cash.
2.Definitely need to learn to read the flop.
3. Always try to look for clues in the game styles.
4. start playing with small tournaments.
5. Play on the available money (do not jump above the head).
6. you need to control your emotions (the joy of victory or anger because of the defeat can ruin a good game).
7. probably the most important thing. Not just know all these tips , but follow them. to be honest, I don't always succeed. may reason and luck come with you.

all of the above are very good tips

i know that tournaments and cash games are a little diffrent. but why do you advise playing just one and not both? i love to play both. but i would just like to get better understanding of why i should only pick one? please explain when you get the chance.

hi . thanks for the advice.

can you explain why a person should either play cash games or tournaments?

does playing both effect how a person might play a hand?
im just trying to understand.

thx

my advice for poker is .. 1. have a good management of the bankrol .... 2 study that you can also learn good techniques ... 3 when we fall on tilt the best thing is to leave the section ... 4 learn the potions and ranks in poker..5 Always have a project for your game ..
and it's good to know of all the players that we are in this community because there are great players here, and thanks to CC I have improved my game a lot

Don't play when you feel tired.

At micro levels often the villains' bet sizing DO represent the strength of their hands. They aren't bluffing as much as you think. Avoid making the hero calls unless you have enough history with a villain to be reasonably sure he's full of it most times.

If it's not your day, log off. I quit now after 2 bad beats. No ifs ands or buts. Get them another time.

The article is very useful advice for those who recently started playing poker.
My opinion, starting - the most important stage. If you managed to win (or not lose) money - you will love this game and you will strive to develop in poker.
I would add one more important point - Tilt Control

1.constant training 2.psychological control.3. Do not forget about real life.

Strongly agree with bankroll management, start at the lowest stakes and single tabling. I personally find multitabling, especially without HUD software, difficult to manage.
I personally believe you should play one style at the beginning, and don't try to mix styles during play. Playing PLO/NLHE cash/NLHE MTT at once may become very very confusing.
Also control of your emotions and bankroll are KEY!

Trust intuition and play tightly

I liked this article and also many earlier posts. Very interesting article and tips from the cc members, as well.
With the most I also can agree, but there is one point, that I would not like for myself at the moment.
To play in an office like room. I love to sit with my laptop on the sofa.
I am sitting whole day in an office, so I don't want this for myself at the evenings or the weekends while I am playing.
Of course for many tables the screen of a laptop is not ideally and sometimes I wished I had a bigger one.
A good mouse is also an advantage for playing many tables. My husband presented me one and I would not want to miss it anymore.
But yeah, I am just a recreational player. I guess, it would really make sense to sit in an office like room for someone who is playing poker professionally.

And yeah, the first thing that players should learn is the bankroll management. I totally agree with this.

Never stop learning and reading or watching something about poker.

Discussing your hands and games with others is also very valuable in my opinion.
So reviewing and thinking about your own game is very important. Thinking in a constructive way and not tilting.

Hello everyone. Very good advice. I also stay with the advice of the concentration, it is very important to the game, one when concentrated plays very well, patience, not desesperarce, anger does not help it is the worst play angry. Also tell you that it is very important bankroll and the game they like to play. The use of software is a tool, as is, this is to improve the game and today many sites accept.

Personally, the single greatest factor for winning comes down to paying UNDIVIDED ATTENTION to my table. I find that when I'm multi-tasking and clicking around on the internet or watching youtube on my phone that my game suffers. The times that I focus solely on poker while I'm playing, I seem to make way less mistakes which leads to making more $$.

Some players prefer to play cash games while others experience the thrill of long tournaments. It all depends on the tastes and preferences of each person, so you have to decide what you want to play: cash or tournaments.

Each Format has its own strategy and play at the same time, I would not advise.

Patience...

Do not get fatigued or complacent.

Most of the tips make good sense, but as a 65 year old Luddite, I do not use software help...wouldn't know how if I had them. Some additional tips should include playing when you are alert, fresh and not distracted by something that occurred earlier in the day.

So, I`m not new in online poker and therefore I try to use the most part of giving tips. But some of them are not in my arsenal. For example I don`t use software like Table Ninja, Auto Hot Keys, and Place Mint.Thank you for a good and useful article!) It`s time to improve uor game)

patience is a big key of winning online, trying to make chips fast make me loose every time, also the lack of sleep will not help you winning, i suggest also that working out make the brain works better to play online poker,

i didnt know that poker software are allowed in online poker gonna try some immediately

First of all, you have to be patient, we all know that patience is a key. Also you have to understand that you can not always win, sometimes you just have to lose.
Second of all, you have to take care about your bankroll managment. You can not go crazy with your tournaments. (set buyin limits or something what could help you to control your bankroll)
SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO TAKE A BREAK FROM POKER!

I've never played live so there is no way to make a comparison but in online poker it is suggested that you have control of the bankroll, as dakota said.
now, instead of being profitable, I will change to win in poker because you can win in poker and not be licrativo due to bad bank management, so it is advisable to have a banking control for lucrative. I realized that playing in absolute silence is a good thing, because the times I won in this game, the silence was absolute, so look for a place like that. also look for comfortable places.
hud not exactly, first know why you're giving a 3bet on the player that opened from utg, with a pair of 44 so look for those tools. What is the use of knowing that the player opens 70% of the utg seeing in hud and not knowing what to do?
Do not sign up for another mourning tournament for losses, in the comfort of your home, it is almost impossible not to do so.

No need to apologise, thats cardschat forum made for, to learn new info, nobody knows everything.

Ghosting is when someone else tells you the optimal way to play your hand. Ghosting can go a long unethical way, as even hiring a pro to offer you his advice or even play for you when you reach like a decent prize final table. In my post I meant ghosting in a way of playing together with a friend that have a decent poker knowledge to stop you from making costly mistakes because of tilt! Your friend may even notice something you don't. Two brains are always better than one

For sure all of those tips can help to play better poker
On top of that we have to be more than patient in general.
Each of our decisions can be good or bad.
We learn from our mistakes.

Friends, to play poker well you have to put a lot of effort and it's not new! And I like Russian people hope for a "maybe" and its exclusivity, and there is not obtained lose and lose - "you have to teach materiel"! And tips to win many and different for each individual!

I like bankroll management, the one you added, and I also think one that they are missing is discipline. It goes for all poker players but its especially important in online poker because of how fast-paced it is. All it takes is the click of the button. I can say this from experience because I have seen my self grind, grind, grind manhy times and all it takes is a couple bad hands to reverse all that work. Discipline can be implemented by setting personal time limits that you spend playing, and like they said in the article about playing single tables at first, limiting the number tables you play at once.
