From Poker Wiki

When you start to play online poker some of the useful tips you would usually use in a casino become null and void. For instance, one of the key elements used in poker is the bluff but if you cannot see your opponent's face this becomes impossible to do.

The first and most important poker tip to learn is which starting hands are good enough to carry on with and which should be folded pre-flop. The best starting hands are pairs from the tens up to the aces. these should always be followed through to the flop and then you can decide if you want to go further.

Betting on a good starting hand can lead to a small pot so always take your time and see where the game goes. If you have a good hand and someone raises the bet use the call to your advantage and try not to engage in a battle too early. If you use the other player's raise to increase your bet they may become aware of your hand and fold early. Keep it simple and it can pay dividends.

A very good poker tip is knowing when to fold your hand. If your starting cards are not good enough to carry on, do not keep betting and hoping that the turn will go in your favor. By doing this you are trying your luck and adding to a pot which is going to another player. If you know when to fold then this will not only save you money but will teach you to be a disciplined player.

There are many poker tips available to every new player and taking time to learn and understand them is a key element of becoming a very good player.
