Start playing at a low level, maybe .10/.25 NL and multi table whilst clearing bonuses.

Whenever you get AA/KK/QQ raise hard PF and bet hard til you know your beaten (e.g 789 of hearts on board in 3 way pot and you have 2 black aces, AK7 on board and you have QQ).

When you get AK/AQ raise and play for top pair if you hit it bet hard if you don't fold.

When you get dealt any pocket pair limp in and play for sets.

You can play other hands like suited connectors if you limp in multiway pots but I'm not sure it's worth it initially.

You can raise a wide variety of hands in unraised pots from cutoff/button as a blind steal but dont get carried away betting if someone calls and you miss the flop.

This will win you money at this level.


I'm sure others could give better advice but thats what I would say.

Also if a site offers the facility try and play tables with Players per flop at 40%. Your % flops seen should be around 20% (unless in future you improve your cash game and want to be loose aggresive)

Hmm.. i would also like to add, when u get AJ raise.. Also when ur playing AK AQ AJ, and u miss the flop.. do a continuation bet on the flop if its you and another guy to the hand, or if its 3 way, and u have position on the first guy, who checks it to you. If ur continuation bet is called, then check-fold if ur hand doesnt improve.

Like Wota said, raise hard pf with AA KK QQ when ur first to open(10xBB), and also re-raise preflop with those hands - 4x the initial raisers raise if ur not first to open.

Hands like KQ KJ QJ and A10, limp in and play for top pair only. Dont play QJ or A10 from UTG or UTG+1. Fold these hands pf vs a raise.

Only bet with TP or better when its 4+ players to the flop.

Bet with middle pair only if its 4 to the flop or less, and no one raised pf. And when u bet with middle pair, do a half potsize bet. If called by anyone, then check-fold.

Play AXs from MP or later, and only if theres at least 1 limper.

Play 67s+ from CO/Button.
