3 Tips for Beginners to Help You Quickly Improve Your Game

Poker Table

Learning to play poker well can be frustrating. There are so many rules and styles of playing and, with opponents quickly hammering down everything you try to do to win, disappointment can soon set in.

Thankfully, there are several tips that can help beginners quickly improve their game. These three are a great place to start.

 

Take your time -- One of the biggest mistakes a new poker player makes is rushing their decisions due to feeling pressured by other players.

​

Do not allow yourself to feel pressured. Take your time, go over all the rules in your head, think about card rankings, possible outcomes and about your opponents' cards. Then make your decision on how to play your next turn.

​

By taking your time, you will find you make fewer mistakes and feel less stressed when you play.

 

Avoid bluffing too often -- Beginners often think bluffing is the thing you should do most when playing poker. This is not true at all, however, as those that bluff too often and then get caught can tell you.

​

The best thing you can do when learning poker is to only play hands that are strong, and fold when your hand is weak. That way you can save the bluffing until you are a better player.

 

Start with low stakes games -- Begin on low stakes tables and stay there until you are a more experienced player.

​

After all, low stakes games give you the chance to get the experience you need, without the pressure of losing too much money while you do so. You can then move to higher stakes tables as your poker skills improve.
