I think it is very important to level up stakes gradually , especially if you are a beginner , see if you can win lower stakes and buy ins , thn level up and play higher stakes if you feel confident enough and if you have enough buy ins for the games you want to try , sngs or cash or tourney
i tried sometimes by passing this rule , inj the past , after some big losses , in poker or casino , so as to get my losses back instantly , or even more profits . But these miracles do not happen . At least they havent happened to me . I tried once zoom 50$ buy in , lost , my AQ vs AA , A on the flop , ridiculous , disappointing , tilting hand and experience .

who wants to learn poker can start from scratch, but there are also good or average players who play like this and manage to create some bankrolls. Many withdraw after making that wager and in this way both parties win

Poker books i dont believe they can help you as much as with the live poker games . Cause in online poker blind structure is fast , games are different , hard to bluff , many set up hands to lose , shove fold charts that might be winning in live poker in online poker games they wont , specific hands can be shoved in specific spots . You have to study the tables , open some tables and watch them , watch your hand history , the hands replayer , see your mistakes and the mistakes of others , learn from them . Poker evolves , different game , structures , players' habits , more or less it is solved , at least the NLH , so that means you need to choose carefully what games you are best , what games can be profitable for you , and try to become the best possible at them . But if you see that you can not have satisactory profits , move to another game or poker room .

poker books are quite good if you know how to learn them properly. You don't have to become a professional by reading them, but if you are smart you can become a player who consistently wins acceptable amounts every year. With time you will learn even more through practice and you can become a very good player, even a professional.

To begin with, if someone is just starting out and has never had any contact with poker, it is a good idea to read the basic strategies and review the tables. Later, we know that they will not work 100% in practice and the best way to learn is to play from freerolls to the lowest cash or sng stakes. It is also good to watch videos analyzing how someone else plays and learn some interesting moves from a few people.

I think there is no need for tips for recreational players, because they are playing for fun. We pay for fun for everything in our lives, so this is the same situation to be in. Go pay for some chips and put in the pot and enjoy in the fun. GL
