How to win more at poker ?

A part of the game is luck, and you can't do anything about it. But if you play correctly, on the long run you can win a lot of chips.
Here's some advice to win more (and lose less).

Know the hands ranking

First of all, you have to keep in mind all the possible hands, and know what are the best hands.

Here's a recap of the possible hands and their ranking


At every point of the game, you have to think about your opponents hand, and evaluate the power of your own hand.

Fold fold and fold

The first thing you have to learn, is to fold. In Cash Game, don't play if you have a bad starting hand. Even if you paid the small blind.

It is better to let a pot go, than to lose money because you refused to fold thinking you were about to have a good hand after the flop.

In Sit and Go, you will be forced to play average hands because you don't have much money, but in Cash Game, just play the good hands, by following this chart (found on Unibet website):


You see that some hands are playable only if you're in late position. Because if you play last, you can see what your opponents are doing. By the way, always keep in mind that someone can have the best hand in the world, and still checks because he wants you to believe he has a bad hand.

Never bluff (almost)

One of the most common beginner mistake is to think that you should bluff every round.

If you bluff very rarely, people will take you seriously if you bet big, and your bluffing can be efficient, but if you do this every round, nobody will believe, and they'll follow you with and average/good hand.

I recommend to play safe: play only when you have something, and scale your betting according to your hand. If someone raises and your hand is weak, don't follow him. It's better to let someone who's bluffing win rather than loosing all your chips in one hand.

Bet and raise correctly

If you have a good hand, and you know that no other hand can beat your, don't go all in. You can scare your opponents, and make them fold. If they fold, you won't win that much chips.

If you are on a table with 5 players, every bet called by everyone is multiplied by 5, so don't be too greedy.

You can bet late if you want to bait your opponent. For example, if you have a K in your starting hand, and then there's two more K on the table after the flop, you can check, so they don't think you have a good hand. See if someone bets. Follow if it's the case. Go step by step when you're betting.

Remember that it's easier for your opponents to put 1000 chips on the table three times, than putting 3000 in one time.

Win big pots

Now you have the first knowledge to win big pots. The more you play, the better you will become, and the easier for you it will become to predict your opponent hands, so you can make the right decisions.

Poker is all about evaluating the risk and making decisions according to it.

Thank you for reading that guide. Leave a comment if you have a suggestion to improve it.

Have fun, and good luck.

In this game, when you are lucky, you could get strong hand on almost every rounds. There are your winning period and also your opponent winning period. Always fold when your opponent in winning period, and stop playing when you always have bad hand, come back few hours later to try your luck.

I think this game is not random the cards, it is designed to make you lose, so you buy the clips with real money. When you are in losing period you should stop paying, and when are wining it is your fun time and stop when your good hand period is over.

Quick and dirty rule of thumb: Only go in on hands with 10/6 (J/6, Q/6, K/6, A/6) or higher. Fold all others.

If you have a winning hand, raise incrementally to get the most out of your opponents. the 'bet pot' button can be good to get little chunks of cash without scaring everyone off.

don't bluff until the big blind is 5,000 or more. You can make a lot of money fast by stealing the blinds in the later game, if you have the chips to do so.
