My advice is:
bankroll management is one of the key things to a healthy poker game.
Stick to it and you'll avoid going bankrupt, if you know your game. 🙂

Top tip - never invest real money on PokerStars. Yes, you need to make a deposit of 10$ - do it, but never again, as this poker room is not a fair. In this poker room everything is made for fishes to beat stronger hands and for chip leaders to beat 4-5 short stacks every hand. 💩

Hey there Anamembu. Out of all the advice to give to a new player I think the best is don't be afraid to go all in. For real. Is that too "sharky"? Just kidding. Well, besides getting your hands on all the literature and vids out there I think playing within one's financial limit is crucial. Bankroll management and game selection. That and patience. GL to your "friend". 😉Anamembu said:
My advice is that you make money in your first tournaments. Don't assume you know everything. Winning a tournament can be easy but achieving consistency over time is the most difficult. So study and study to one day be a great professional.
There's some solid advice here.
Also, approach studying seriously. Take a course or read a book. Take notes. Review your notes. Make a plan to apply the concepts you've learned. Review your hands and stats to find leaks and areas to improve.
Don't just watch a bunch of random YouTube videos.

One piece of advice is to not listen to nonsense like this. It usually comes from losing players, who are looking for an excuse for their lack of results. But there are also plenty of winning players on PokerStars including myself, and unless you want to remain stuck in penny games forever you need to start with at least some deposit like $50-100. You can see my track record on PokerStars here.john_entony said:

I'm happy for you that you are profitable. Maybe PokerStars does let players who make deposits win. I, for example, haven't made a deposit in over 2 years and I'm a plus player too. You can also check this on sharkscope. You just have to realize that beginners can't play as successfully as you, for example. Because everybody can't win. Only a small percentage wins. But every beginner can be a plus player and I gave the right advice on how to do it. 🤔
No you did not. You posted nonsense about one of the largest poker sites begin rigged. This is not true, you have no evidence for this, and such speculations are a major distraction for anyone trying to learn the game and become profitable. If it really was rigged, there would be no point in learning strategy, and software that calculate the GTO equilibrium would be useless. Believing, that poker sites are rigged, is a sure way of not achieving success in online poker. None of the big winners waste a second of their time on this nonsense.john_entony said:
I would very much like to believe that online poker is completely clean. But very often I see things in tournaments that I don't see in offline poker. And, believe me, in Kiev before the war I played in the biggest poker clubs in the city and never saw such crazy hands as on PokerStars! I constantly play on ReplayPoker and I see a huge difference in gameplay! And I'm sure a lot of people in our Community feel the same way as me. Just take 100 random heads-up pre-flop all-ins short stacks against chipleaders on PokerStars and ReplayPoker and you'll be shocked at how different the stats are. 😉fundiver199 said:
But shouldn't you provide this evidence instead of asking someone else to do it?john_entony said:
In this forum we can actually read a lot of different stories on how and why the poker sites are rigged/the RNG is tweaked. But never in a single case has anyone ever prepared and provided actual evidence on this being the case.
And last but not least, 100 hands aren't exactly a statistically relevant sample size. But if you have them, let us see!
Andy, I don't want to prove anything to anyone. I'm not interested. You know I play a lot of poker, so I don't need hand stats to experience poker, right? Poker is like air for me, I'm completely immersed in it, and I can analyze my feelings. Andy, you're very serious. It doesn't suit you - smile! You're not talking with Negreanu, you're talking with an insane fox. 😉😱Andyreas said:
