World Poker Forums

Hia, I've started taken poker seriously in the last month or so, and I am usually confident about winning any home game I sit at, and can often double / trebble my play money in cash games online pretty quick.But... online with real money, I'm finding it hard to win in the ring / cash games. I've been playing mostly PL with stakes at 0.05/0.10 is there any tips you can give me to improve this area of my game?I've already relised alot of my mistakes are due to playingn tilt,when I'm tiredwhen I'm distracted, etcThanks.

For the micro limits (ie 0.05/0.10), you just need to play tight and bet your hands when you hit the flop. Don't try any of the plays you see on TV- your opponents won't be smart enough to realize what you are doing. Get away from playing like you see on TV, as most TV poker shows are either highlight reels (ie WSOP on ESPN) or turbo sit-n-go's (WPT final tables until recently). Play tight, raise with only quality hands, and when you hit the flop hard, bet it hard and make people pay you off.
