WhatZZ-up everyone,

Looks like I'm going to help out a bit here at DrCheckRaise Tip Of The Week.

I'm not much of a writer so deal with it......LOL

To start, I was looking around the Internet to come up with some basic tips any player can use to improve there game. Here are the 10 best Do's & Don't's I came up with:

1.) Don't Play Every Hand, Fold More, but still be aggressive!

2.) Don't Bluff Just For Bluffing's Sake, there is an art to it!

3.) Don't Play Drunk or High, keep a CLEAR head!

4.) Don't Stay in a Hand Just Because You're Already In It, stick to your GAME

5.) Don't Call at the End of a Hand to "Keep Someone Honest"

6.) Don't Play When Mad, Sad, or in a Generally Bad Mood, Unless you would like to give away your money!

7.) Do Pay Attention to the Cards on the Table, but you have time, there not going anywhere.

8.) Do Pay Attention to the Other Players, observe your opponents, even when you're not in a hand
for online poker keep an eye on betting patterns.

9.) Don't Play at too High Limits, use good bankroll management

10.) Pick the Right Game for Your Skill Level & Bankroll you will know when your are ready to move up, and your bankroll will let you know to. LOL

I hope all of you can use the tips, they work for me!!!

If any of you see something I should add please do!

Untill next time Cya

Thanks VADER for helping out. Vader is a solid player and I know he will add alot of value to this section.

I will make some commets on these and I hope others will do the same

1.) Don't Play Every Hand, Fold More, but still be aggressive!

I personally think this is easier to do LIVE than online


2.) Don't Bluff Just For Bluffing's Sake, there is an art to it!

So true. Your bluff must tell a story that makes sense. Sometimes when you are figuring your outs, you can figure what are called bluffing out, especially if you get heads up.. so if the third heart hits the board you can represent the flush if it missed your hand otherwise.

3.) Don't Play Drunk or High, keep a CLEAR head!

I can't seem to beat a drunk...LMAO

4.) Don't Stay in a Hand Just Because You're Already In It, stick to your GAME

Calling the small blind simply because it feels like a discount can be a HUGE mistake.. you are out of position with weak cards..

5.) Don't Call at the End of a Hand to "Keep Someone Honest"

You should only do this if you actually want to pay for information that you might use later, You can also do this if you want to show that you will call with anything to avoid being bluffed later... but it is a one time thing.

6.) Don't Play When Mad, Sad, or in a Generally Bad Mood, Unless you would like to give away your money!

Ask BKB about this one

7.) Do Pay Attention to the Cards on the Table, but you have time, there not going anywhere.

Pay even more attention to the hands you are actually not in.. you can pick up some tells this way

8.) Do Pay Attention to the Other Players, observe your opponents, even when you're not in a hand
for online poker keep an eye on betting patterns.


Guess I got ahead of them..LOL
9.) Don't Play at too High Limits, use good bankroll management

So many people try to get even by increasing the level they are playing in... this is probably the biggest mistake made.

10.) Pick the Right Game for Your Skill Level & Bankroll you will know when your are ready to move up, and your bankroll will let you know to. LOL

And if you find when you move up you are not as successful, step back down and continue to play at the level you have been beating and try again later.

Lol, #3 - I won a $20 tourney once after 2 bottles of wine and 9th in a 1800 field $500 tourney. This was SpadeClub though and I played ABC poker while watching TV and got lucky. Never ever in a game with a buy-in.
