2. Be Aggressive. When you do get a hand that you are going to play, the number two most important poker tip is to bet it aggressively. Every player left at the flop has a chance of beating you - even the "no-hoper's" who are calling with 10-6 or J-4. Anybody can hit a lucky flop so it's vital that you remove as much opposition as possible. Remember too that your AK or AQ isn't really much of a hand unless you catch something to improve it.

3. Don't go all-in. Too often you see poker players making crazy decisions like going all-in in the first couple of rounds of a tournament to win nothing but the blinds. Consider this scenario: You start with 1500 chips and blinds are 20 and 10. You are in mid position and have been dealt AA. Now there are some players who would go all-in here in the hope of getting a call and doubling up. At best The odds of you winning the hand would have been about 1/3 or 1/4 and you have risked it on a 1/50 gamble. Not good.
