Avoid these mistakes new players make when playing poker online

Playing poker online is not something you are going to do well at the first few weeks that you play. You can, however, avoid some of the mistakes many new players make by knowing about them beforehand. That alone will give you an advantage many other players do not have when playing poker online Indonesia.

Playing weak hands — The main mistake almost every new player makes is to play too many hands. This is due to their being excited about playing poker online, so playing weak hands they should have dropped, and that they have no chance of winning.

Have some patience, however, and wait for stronger hands, and you will do much better long-term.

Not controlling their emotions — Whether their emotions are being excited, angry, upset or disappointed, new online poker players will often not control them correctly. This causes them to make bad decisions or to make mistakes. Things they may not have done if their gameplay was not being led by their emotions.

Playing for too many hours — New online poker players are often so thrilled to be playing, they keep playing long after they should have stopped.

This will often mean they lose their focus, they make more mistakes or they keep betting long after it is obvious they are just going to keep losing. Betting money in an attempt to recoup money you have already lost is always a bad decision. Playing too long often causes new players to do just that.

Moving to too high stakes games too soon — The most important thing every new player should keep in mind is that most players in the high stakes rooms are highly experienced.

Never move to a high stakes room until you are sure you have the skills to handle the people you will be playing against.
