Don't . . . play drunk stay away from the booze if you don’t want to lose, well OK a little is ok.
Do . . . play multiple cash games Spread your doller, say if you play 1X NL100 split it in to 4, and play 4X NL25 more chance of hitting them hot cards and lose less when missing.
Don't . . . Play at too high limits Its not a get rich quick sceam, in fact it will work the outher way, work your way up the limits, BANKROLLMANAGMENT!
Do . . . claim your bonus Needless to give a reason.
Don’t . . . play too many hands Don’t be scared to fold. Professional poker players only play between 25-30% of their starting hands.
Do . . . try beginners’ freerolls They cost you nothing and you can still win real cash. Great practise for the newr lot, easy(ish) for the more experienced.
Don’t . . . sit at the wrong table Choose the right table for you and not a pool full of sharks, dont like the table, then move, lots to choose from.
Do.....change the colour of the deck to a 4 colour deck Dont miss that flush, or bet on a nasty board.
Don’t . . . forget to enjoy yourself Thats what its all about, hit TILT then RUN, RUN like fk, go hide under your quilt untill it goes away (come back happy)
Do . . . look for added value Overlays are great, keep an eye out +EV.

Don't be a donk. Save your shove for the nuts.
Do c-bets. Even a small bet can win you the pot. But be careful so you don't give away chips for free.
Don't think you are unbeatable just because you trippled up. Being chip-leader is nice, so stay on the top. Starting to play like a donk just to try to get a few people out will only get you to the bottom. Stay tight, or even better, play even tighter. You don't need to get involved.
