Tips from professionals vol. 1

Hi there again. I get lot of requests from begginers, and they ask a lot of question how to get started. So, I've decided to post secret tips from professionals once a week. This time I got contacted with well known player from Denmark, who is my idol, Gus Hansen and asked him what can he suggest for beginners.

So, here is what he sayed:
1. NEVER play more than one game at a time. How do you think you can jump from one game to the next and still have the ability to study your opponents’ every move?

2. ALWAYS play good starting hands, such as the top 10 starting hands: AA, KK, QQ, AK, AQ, JJ, 10-10, 9-9, 8-8, 7-7

3. LEARN how seat position can play an important role in how you bet and when.

4. STUDY THE FLOP and make an informed decision before you bet. Ask yourself what the best possible hand is and consider whether or not your opponent has it!

5. SELDOM raise before the flop.

6. ALWAYS try to prevent your opponents from reading you. If you get into too many habits, you will be an easy read.

Got it ? :) Thanks Gus, next week - the one and only Phil Helmuth with his advices for begginers.
