Top 5 handy tips to win online poker
 

Plan the tournaments you play

There are so many tournaments online, remembering the ones you have played is rather difficult. Besides when arranging, bear in mind to leave your plan open so that you can be certain enough time to finish a tournament you have started rather than keeping your eye on the clock numerously.
 
Don't put more cash in your online account than you can afford to lose

as humans we tend to bite off more that we can chew, take gambling for instance, we would rather throw away good money before bad, well before we run out money in a gambling pot, making decisions like a game of cards we always seem to get the bad hand before the good, rules are there to be broken and to keep to them is harder to do that break them, even with limits of money and losses you'll always end up loosing more that what you started out with
 
 
Adjust to the speed of online gaming,
 
This game is self explanatory, but, don’t get me wrong, it’s important. In a Brick and Mortar casino, a player can usually expect to see right at thirty hands per hour. Thirty hands per hour can be expected to hit around fifty hands an hour. Therefore, while in a casino, one must be able to adjust to a faster pace than usual. There are quite a few reasons for this. Firstly, the online “dealer” is 4 times faster than a dealer in a live casino. Secondly, there is a time clock that begins to run as soon as the first action is taken place. To that point, you will receive an annoying beep if your play has been delayed to long. If a decision isn’t made in from a range of 10-20 seconds after the starting period, the beep will then be placed. Although, there is a way around this, a player may request to the dealer additional time period when the player is in such a tough situation. Such as, an all – in call. This feature is available on most poker websites today.
 
 
Play smaller tournaments first to increase your knowledge

the reasons for this are many, but mainly to gain self-confidence at the lower levels if you are able to dominate them. Playing in these small buy-in tournaments, one can receive a load of experience for just a little bit of cash, with encouragement to win some pretty decent prizes if you make it to the end.

Focus your table location and strong starting hands
 
online poker games have many rules in which you have to abide my and play by, most online players keep to the rules of the game and some don't, to be a good poker player you should try to keep to just one pot and one game rather than having multiple games or pots going so that your odds of winning increase, if you play with smaller single pots and work your games in good hands to a larger pot it is better than having multiple pots and loosing more than winning in each pot. This is why when you play poker online you should constantly keep your pots tight and cards as long as possible till you know for sure that you have a good hand so you can outplay the online players and win the hands without loosing huge amounts over smaller pots.
