• Poker requires more skill than most games, so it will take longer to achieve consistent winning results.
  
• Get out of the hand if you've got nothing in your hand.
  
• Conversely, if you've got a great hand, make the other players pay to see it.
  
• The more players at the table, the lower the relative value of the lower ranked hands .
  
• Play to beat the other players, not to beat the deck.
