2nd commandmentManage your bankroll: Bankroll management is the most crucial part of your Pokercareerandyouneedtobefirminyourapplication.

You can’t be scared of playing your money and hence it’s Stick to the 50 buy-in rule and choose games where your bankroll therefore allows you at least up till 50 buy-ins. More aggressive players will use the 20 buy-in rule.

The mark of a top player is not how much he wins when he is winning but how he handles his losses.

3rd commandmentStick with PREMIUM hands: Many players often loose with their starting hand selections, don’t limp in with bad cards in hopes of hitting somethingontheflop,blindsaddupandit’snotworthit.

As an example, at an 8 player table, focus on playing hands like pocket pairs, suited connectors, A-X Suited or two face cards.

Leave hands such as K-3, J-8, Q-2 and 10-7 alone, fold them pre-flop–don’tgettoexcitedfortheaction,it’llcomeifyou arepatient–patienceiskey

4th commandmentPlay your position right: Good positioning is when you are placed in the round that allows you to see your opponents actions before you have to act. Therefore GOOD positioning is LATE positioning.

You want to play more aggressively, i.e. more hands, at a later position and conservative, i.e. less hands in early positions. This also applies if you bluff where you should make sure you are at a later position.

5th commandmentPlay the right stakes: The action plan recommended is to build your bankroll where you KNOW you can win, again referring to the 50 or 20 buy-in rule. When you are comfortable, you can try and move up. If you lose your bankroll, don’t be afraid to move back down again and rebuild it. Then move up in stakes and make another attempt.

When you try to move UP in stakes, don’t be afraid to move BACK DOWN if it isn’t working.

This process LOWERS YOUR RISK. Follow these steps and you won’t be gambling with next month’s rent.

6th commandmentRead your opponents: Opponents bluff, but they can also hold a great hand. The best way to decide to call a bluff is to think to yourself “is my hand the type of hand I’d go all in with?”. In most cases it’s not so you should fold instead of call. If it was a bluff you still managed to protect your stack. Checking the real strength of their hand can be wise but if they re-raise FOLD!

Ultimately, the cards determine who’s the winner for a hand, but that’s only when a hand plays out until the VERY END andallcardsareflippedover.

7th commandmentBe un-predictable: Just as you should be studying your opponents, your opponents should be studying YOU. If you are predictable, your opponents will be able to outsmart you easily whereby they’ll fold every time you have good cards and bet every time you have bad cards.

Remember your position and ensure you mix it up to kill consistency, play some crazy things ones in a while.

8th commandmentKnow when to quit: Knowing when to get up from a table is crucial and will save you a LOT of money in the short and long term. This applies whether you’ve won a ton of money or just LOST a lot of money.

The reason being that in either case, the tendency from that point forward is going to be loose. Losing streaks suck... because they take hold of some weird part of your brain that virtually always PREVENTS you from making a comeback. So if you’re WAY UP or WAY DOWN in a game, just stop playing for the day and go back at it tomorrow instead.

9th commandmentGet familiar with the odds: Knowing the ODDS and PROBABILITY in poker is a standard ingredient for success.

It’s more than possible to win some games by just predicting your opponents and “guessing” the types of betting decisions to make. However ultimately, knowing the odds is what it takes to be a REAL Texas Hold’em poker player.

The good news is, you don’t have to be a “math genius” to know the odds of a hand as there’s several shortcuts and tricks you can use to calculate pot odds, hand percentages, outs, and other important numbers.

10th commandmentControl your emotions: Emotional control plays a crucial role in Poker. You’ve got to be able to “let go” and become un-attached from the outcome of the game.

The key is to EXPECT IN ADVANCE that things will get stressful and intense. EXPECT that you’re going to get “rivered” and “sucked out”.

The reason it’s important is because if you let go of your log in and start playing based on EMOTION, you’ll never, EVER win. Avoid TILT at all costs as it’s one of the main reasons why poker players go broke. Stay in control of yourself, stay focused on winning.
