So you have finally started to win at online poker. However you are still prone to some tiltly sessions where you made some bad calls, or made an ill advised triple barrel bluff. But other than that you are pretty happy with your game and are comfortably playing at the level you are playing now. So lets try and make you some more money by following these simple online poker tips.
When you decide to play a session of online poker, make sure that your schedule is free for at least 4 hours, even though you may only have the intention to play for 1 hour. The reason for this is you may start to get in the zone where you are playing and running well and you might want to capitalise on that by playing for longer.
Another reason is when you are sitting at some very soft tables and through a couple of bad beats and what not, you know you can win the money back just by playing a solid ABC game against the bad players. There's nothing worse when this happens and you have to leave the table to go meet someone or you have to go to bed as you have to start early in the morning.
One of my common mistakes in my earlier days was to start a session late at night and about 90 minutes or two hours into a session I started to feel tired and even though the games were very juicy I just knew it was not in my best interest to continue on playing as I was starting to make small mistakes due to the tiredness creeping up on me.
Therefore I would definitely advise for talented 'semi - professional' poker players who also hold down a full time 9 - 5 job to not start a session later than 9pm, so that it gives 4 full hours for a poker session if needed and still be in bed by 1am with plenty of time to get a good nights sleep afterward so that you are refreshed for work in the morning.
Another simple tip is basically not to play poker while drinking beer. I know people like to unwind in the evening by having a beer but really it offers absolutely no benefits and only drawbacks when it comes to playing online poker. If you really, really, really do feel the need to drink some beer while playing to relax and chill for the night, then enter a few $1-$3 buy in multi - table tournaments and mess around there. The most you will lose is a few dollars and you may win a few thousand. However under no circumstances open up 8 tables of 400nl cash games, or you will be crying into your beer in no time.
OK so the above are some basic online poker tips and while somewhat obvious, can still add extra dollars to your bottom line if you heed the advice.
