Hi!!
Great topic. For Beginners only one thing.. SSS (ShortStackStrategy) Its maybe the best way to learn how to select hands, how to work position, how to fold hands, etc. Some guys think its a boring strategy, but gives a new player a solid learn about this game called NL Texas Holdem.
Bye and aces for all!! (beginner, you CAN fold aces postflop..).

@ Dom_Meribel yeah sometimes you will lose this hands but with many possible callers you make profitable bets/raises. If you want to exclude a loss by 100% you are just able to play the stone cold nuts and thats a real predictable gameplay

Nice post, but these tips will help you only with time. Im new to poker so the biggest mistake i make is after losing quite a big part of my bankroll i usually tend to lose rest of it in new few hands, because i am stubborn and want to get my money back.

''Bluffing too much: The bluffing aspect is a little overvalued in the poker world. Most new players think it’s all about bluff. IT IS NOT. New players will often put their money in the pot on a bluff that the better players will see right through.''
This one is my favorite, i like it when i get to low stackes, and open 4-5 tables and just tight aggresive playing. Always some, fish catches up on the hook.

I dont agree with "playing to many tables" 100%. With 1 or 2 tables you get bored and start to play more marginal hands. I think minimum 4 or 6 tables are good, so you get enough action and play less hands. Offcourse, if discipline is good and you make notes etc. , 2 tables is enough.
