I agree with zct about this question, he is a solid player and his advice is very good. You should play tight when you are first starting out and only play good cards. Position, chip size, and lots of other factors go into your decision on what and when you should play your hand. If i have A-J at a table with loose players then i always fold, but that same hand at a tight table and if I'm in position i may raise it up. Also the number of players in the pot and the type of players they are and the kind of image you have at the table are just some factors you must think about. Just go out and play.

Get Doyle Brunson's poker book. It's still concidered the Bible, 25 years after it came out. There is a lot of good advice in it.

There is really nothing you are going to learn in a few sentences on Yahoo Answers. Some people are so stupid they even claim it is all luck!

What you need to do is study. Read some books. Understand them, practice.

Play online for play money. Now when you first start out, you will find it is a bit unrealistic. People throw their money away because it is not real. However, if you are playing online at a site like PokerStars.com and work your way up to $50,000 buy in Sit and Gos and the higher stakes play money tables, you will find the games at least as challenging as micro stakes real money.

Practice what you have learned in the books, and keep working until you have a million dollars in play money. This may take a while but once you are good enough to win that much, you can start to consider real money games.

As to a little practical advice here's mine:

Position is everything. Don't play anything but the very strongest of hands if you are less than three places from the big blind. You need a pair of queens or better. If you are in other positions play any pair for cheap (don't call a raise and re-raise with anything less than jacks). Play any two cards that in blackjack would add up to 20 or better. Play any suited ace for cheap.

If you have a real premium hand you should come in for a raise. You don't want to play a premium hand against seven other limpers. There is a good chance someone will outdraw you.

If you are playing tournament poker, don't risk all your chips with a marginal hand. Top pair is rarely good enough.

Don't chase unlikely hands like an inside straight draw or three cards to a flush.

If your low pair does not make trips on the flop, dump it to any serious bets.

Learn what outs are and how to approximate your odds on the turn and river. Learn to calculate pot odds. Learn about online tells.

I'm not sure how use much of that advice will be without practice or reading a book, but use what you can. Good luck!

I would suggest "The Mathematics of Poker" it goes into a lot of detail about the math involved in making decisions at the poker table. The only complaint for some is that it is too complex for some but for a mathematics paper I think it would be perfect.
