What tips would you give to someone new to playing poker?

[Shortie]

Poker is something many of us may have played for years and some of us will even go as far as to say we are somewhat pro at the game.

Over the years of playing poker, you pick up so many tips and tricks that you can at some point pass down to others who are new at playing poker.

If you met someone or knew someone new to poker, what tips would you give them?

A new player doesn't need to be proud. Make your rival see you as one that is learning while you surprise them during playing.

 

[Bawse]

New players should focus on one game, and learn to dominate before learning other types of poker.

I also prefer to stick to tournaments. If I was a cash game player. I'd only play cash games.

Tips would be not to let players bully you out of a hand but if your paying huge numbers based on turn or river draw, to just fold if the bet is high enough. If you have a decent hand dependent on how the competitor is acting you may stay.

Be patient. No need to play bad cards. Study and practice, practice, practice.

Watch some people play, study some guides and never take more money than you should or money you need for other things.

I'd probably tell them not to worry about winning right away. Everyone makes mistakes when they're starting. Focus on learning how the game works, be patient, and enjoy the process. The experience you gain from playing is often more valuable than the results at first.

I’d say have a plan, such as playing 10 buy-ins at the same level. If you’re trying to be serious about building a bankroll, focus on absorbing as much information as possible while you play. Even the most experienced players are still learning, anyone can win.

Control your emotions.
This is very important to become successful playing poker. Also, learn how to manage bankroll.

My biggest advice is to forget trying to impress people with fancy bluffs. Learn the basic rules, play tight at first, and observe how others behave before making risky moves. I made that mistake when I started and paid for it quickly.

Poker requires a combination of technical skills and soft skills. You cannot compromise one over the other. Therefore, I will suggest new players to focus on building technical poker skills like bankroll management as well as soft skills like emotional control.
