Tips for Avoiding and Attacking in Poker Games

1. When your opponent raises the bet, do you follow or not?
When your opponent starts by raising the bet, it usually means they have a good hand. It's usually best not to follow, even if you have a good hand. Unless you are sure that your hand is better than your opponent's. Sometimes, opponents bluff at key moments, so you must accurately judge the strength of their hand. If your opponent has a better hand, it's better to fold early; if your opponent is bluffing, you should seize the opportunity to strike back.

In reality, many players who end up losing all their chips often had good hands initially. The better the hand, the easier it is to lose it all. Confrontations like a straight versus another straight, a straight versus a flush, a flush versus a full house, or a full house versus four of a kind are not uncommon. These kinds of hands may result in a win, but it's a risky way to play. The best way to win is gradually, with small victories leading to a big one. However, when you have an exceptionally strong hand, don't hesitate to push hard. Seizing the opportunity to defeat your opponents with a weak hand is essential.

2. Choosing the right opponent.
When selecting opponents, players should pay attention. It's best to choose opponents whose skill, experience, and playing history are similar. If the gap is too significant, it can lead to results that are far from ideal. It's only in matches where the opponents are evenly matched that previous experience, skill, and technique can shine.

3. Choosing opponents with similar chip counts.
If an opponent has many chips, it's usually better not to engage in a lengthy showdown with them. Concentrate your focus, win a few rounds, and then leave. Not leaving can often lead to losing your chips, just like standing someone up. After all, until the game is over, you cannot be sure who will win and who will lose. Therefore, when choosing your opponents, consider not only their personality but also their skill level.

4. Choosing the right time to play.
Selecting the right time to play is also crucial. You should only engage in a long battle with your opponent when you are mentally sharp. I've heard of a poker friend who, due to being in a bad mental state, lost all the chips they had worked so hard to earn in a single hand.
