First of all, familiarize with the system, especially if you’ve transferred from live poker playing to online games, bearing in mind that the way they work is quite different, from the possibility to play at more than one table at a time, to time banks and the environment around you.

Always remember to manage properly your bankroll and play within it, which means to bring a small percentage of it to the table at a time. Your smartphone can give you a hand on this, since even android has an app to manage your bankroll.

Also, don’t play too many hands at a time, fold more and use your table position. Indeed, the best thing a poker player can do is to measure the value of their cards in relation to their position at the table. To be in a late position is a big advantage, as it will allow you to observe the game and then make your move. It will also make bluffing and betting more comfortable than what they would be when covering an early position.

Also, always remember that playing poker involves money and money is not something that you should play with in terms of value. Always remember that the money you are playing has a value and it’s important to keep it under constant acknowledgment. Hence, never play poker to kill time because you’re bored, or to get a revenge on your frustration, nor when you are worried about something. You have to be focused and energized. Poker is a serious game, not a hobby. Which is the same reason why you should always make sure to be in a non-distracting zone when you’re playing. It’s not something you can play at during a break or on the subway on your way home.

Keep it professional. Respect the game and it will respect you.
