Recommending the tips for how to win at Poker?

[Heatman]

When a newbie at poker comes to you for tips on how he or she can easily win at playing poker, what are the recommendations you'd give the person?

My first tips would be for the newbie to learn hand rankings, rules, and positions because one cannot expect to play poker without understanding the rules. Without following the rules, you'll definitely lose. It's very important to put in time into studying hand rankings, the basic rules, and the meaning of positions.

What other tips will you recommend?

@Heatman I agree with everything you said, and once you have studied the basics. Play tight, and keep the bluffing to a minimal.

You'll become better at bluffing, and picking up tells/reads on opponents once you gain valuable experience.
