Patience matters a lot here. You cannot win all the games you play. Aim to enjoy the fun rather than trying to win all the games. The biggest mistake one does while playing is, the player tends to stay longer even if he has bad hand. If you are a starter, then try not to pretend initially. If you do not have good cards then it is better to quit instead of playing every hand. Playing every hand without quitting when you have bad hand may make you lose all your money. If you have good hands, then play cautiously. All players have combination of both good and bad cards. Try to make more money when you have a very strong hand. Bluffing is an art. It is also fun to do it but you get it only by experience. There is no rule to bluff. If you do not have much in your cards but you are very strong that others do not have great one either, then you can bluff. Do not under estimate other players. They may be great players than you do. Keep an eye on how your opponent plays. One may always raise in certain position and another may bluff with guts. Read the playing method of your partners and act accordingly. Don’t play the same kind of game. Your opponent may also read how you proceed with the game. So be alert.
