When you embark on your poker journey, there are many pitfalls waiting for you along the way. If you're not careful, you might fall into them. With that in mind, this article will provide ten quick tips to help poker newcomers get off to a smooth start.

1. Be a bit tighter when facing pre-flop raises: One common mistake beginners make is using hands they want to raise within a specific position on the poker table to call raises. Novices might fall into the trap of calling pre-flop raises with hands like KTs, AJo, or 76o when facing raises from early positions. As a player who acts in middle or late positions before entering the pot, these hands have excellent playability. However, the raises in front of us must be respected and viewed as a very narrow range. It's not advisable to combat those raises with these hands, as our chances of winning are quite bad. Make sure there's a significant difference in hand quality between the hand you play as the first to enter the pot and the hand you play when someone in front of you has raised.

2. Efficiently use your position: Your position has a significant impact on the playability and profitability of your hands. Calling with Q6s from the small blind is unwise, even when facing a wide blind-stealing range from the button position. The disadvantage of your position and the action of players behind you will hurt your expected value when calling. However, if you hold Q6s in the button position and the players in front have all folded, it's often an excellent opportunity to raise. If the blind players are playing tightly or passively, the possibility of taking the pot pre-flop and the positional advantage when calling make raising with this hand a profitable move in the long run.

3. Estimate your win rate using outs: Optimism is a good thing for experienced poker players because it keeps their minds open and helps them notice overlooked opportunities. However, poker novices often overly emphasize hope and chase draws because of the temptation to hit strong hands without calculating whether they can complete the draw frequently enough. You can use the Rule of 2 and Rule of 4 to convert outs into win rates. In the flop stage, multiply the number of your outs by four to estimate your approximate win rate for the hand. If you're in the turn stage, multiply your outs by two.
