Whether you're new to the game or sharpening your edge — these fundamentals matter
When you're one of the first to act before the flop, tighten your starting hand range significantly. Playing too many hands from early position is one of the most common leaks for recreational players. Stick to premium hands and fold the marginal ones.
Before calling a bet on the flop or turn, calculate whether the pot odds justify it. If you need to call RM50 into a RM200 pot and your draw hits roughly 20% of the time, it's a straightforward fold. Numbers don't lie at the poker table.
A good rule of thumb is to never sit at a cash table with more than 5% of your total poker bankroll. For tournaments, keep buy-ins under 2–3% of your roll. This protects you from variance and keeps the game enjoyable long-term.
Even when you're not in a hand, watch your opponents. Betting patterns, timing tells and sizing tendencies are all information. In online poker this is harder to spot, but bet sizing and timing leaks are still very much readable with focus.
