Way back in the day, I was playing stud with a few of my cousins when my father passed through the room. He observed a few hands before continuing on with whatever he had been doing.

A couple days later, my brother and I were playing some card game or another, when my father came and sat down and offered to teach us a few things about poker. One of the first things he told me was that you only play the good cards and fold the bad ones.

It seems pretty basic, I know. But to this day, that is the basis of my poker strategy. Play the good ones and fold the bad ones. Of course that is not where my poker game ends. Once I have managed to build up a decent stack and have established a solid table image, I will widen my range and mix things up a bit. But when all else fails, I can always go back to basics. Fold the bad cards. Play the good ones.

I was listening to a WSOP Ladies Event webcast with Liz Lieu as a guest the event Final Table was being played real slow no one wanted to play lots of checks and folds-Liz was stating any Ace, low pairs,suited connectors in short handed play was worth being played it was a good lesson for me to get more aggressive with my playing style.

Try to play opposite strategies as your opponent.

kenny rogers - gambler, great song
"you never count your money when you're sitting at the table, there'll be plenty time for counting when the dealing's done" - this one and lots more of great lines

ugh! i forgot where i learned this advice but i tend not to forget it. this is very true:

pick the right game for your skill level

there are people that jump into a $5/10 game after winning a huge bunch of money at $2/4. they're too excited they get carried away thinking that they already handle high stakes. what they do not understand is that as the stakes rises, so does the average skill level of the players.

Learn to take coolers in good spirit, else it can put a dent in the way you play.. read somewhere.

Great advice that I got from the movie, Rounders.

"You don't gamble, you grind it out. Your goal is to win one big bet an hour, that's it. Get your money in when you have the best of it. Protect it when you don't."

Martinez · Jul 11, 2014

Best advice I got, was never give up and don't tilt.
With that advice, I have come back and won from almost impossible situations.

developer716 · Jul 12, 2014

more than 3 bet , watch the statistics !

jmchezka · Jul 21, 2014

Select the right game for your skill level and pocket.

Don't jump into a game with higher stakes just because you just won an easier one. It's better to be the best player at an easier table than the loser at the harder one.

lilnewtdog · Jul 21, 2014

To all of you who think position doesn't matter. The laws of averages and probabilities it's in favor to act as apposed to reacting. How do you react without position?

JPoling · Jul 26, 2014

Seriously, no one? Ok i guess.....Cliche* YOU GOTTA KNOW WHEN TO HOLD THEM, KNOW WHEN TO FOLD THEM

Henry Minute · Jul 26, 2014

Best advice and the one that I disregard most often:
"You are not the table police"

However when I see the same high stacked guy playing every hand with crap and either bullying people to fold or hitting outrageous hands I, eventually, crack and take them on when I get a reasonable hand. (0% of the time I lose, of course. There's a reason they have a big stack and that's because they are running like Gods, I've watched them doing so and yet my resolve to avoid them invariably cracks.

Don't play angry/Take breaks.

It's not the best advise but my step father once told me "Those pocket 2's are a monster when it comes down to it." Sixteen years later, it's my favorite hand =)
