Read your opponents 

 NEVER make a move without properly analyzing your opponents’ playing style (the way he bets). By keeping a close eye on their gameplay, you can read their tendencies and find their weaknesses. Some players are intimidating, some are “nit” (who never take risks), some are “maniacs” (who play every hand without considering their hand strength), etc. You can predict their actions, call their bluffs, and prevent yourself from losing big pots.

Act according to the situation 

As monetary risks are involved in a cash game, it is important to know when to fold your cards and leave the table. Folding your cards is the best option when odds are not in your favour.

Remember that folding is not an act of cowardice.

Bluffing is playing with the opponent’s psychology to make him leave the game. This is a psychological strategy that works against a certain type of players in certain situations and its success is based on several factors i.e. your position and image on the table, table stakes, and expertise of your opponents.

Practice

Regardless of you are playing online or offline, being a successful Texas Hold’em player requires consistently improving the gameplay with training and practice. Play regularly and spend as much time as possible to maintain your edge in the game. Keep records of your mistakes and weaknesses to analyse the reasons and eliminate them completely to not to repeat them in the future.

Manage your Bankroll wisely

Managing bankroll is a skill. Your bankroll (money that is dedicated to poker play only) must be based on the buy-in, your expertise, and type of games you play (tournament or cash games). Choose only the poker cash game that you are best at and which suits your bankroll. It helps you to survive at the time of downswings and focus on your game.    

Think mathematically

It is important to understand probability concepts to calculate all possible card-combinations of yours, your opponent’s, as well as on the board. Mathematical calculations help you to take better rational decisions by determining the odds and predict the outcome of the game. You can deduce the strength of cards your opponent is holding, his future moves, and your possibilities of winning the game by calculating“outs” (cards you need to improve your hand) and pot odds.
