Power, position and patience are key words in being a successful poker player, one of the most first and most important decision you make is your starting hand, the most common mistake made is playing too many hands, although it happens that when you get weak hands and you can win Big-Time, unless you got a strong gut feeling you shouldn't play with weak hands, be patient and play with strong hands and calculate the position in relationship to the dealer and other players.

Feel free to raise if you get an AA or a KK, once the blinds are in they are not yours anymore, don't keep putting money if you have got nothing just because there is a huge amount on the table especially when you are playing online, in live games with real people you are invited to do that it's a way of bluffing but knowing when to quit or save bets is another way of being a successful player.

Don't raise to much in the bet if you detect there could be a big twist or turn, GoodLuck!
