BlackRain79’s YouTube channel released a video for poker beginners, highlighting his top 9 preflop tips to elevate your game. Don’t miss these simple yet effective strategies to dominate the table!


1. Play Tight: Focus on strong starting hands to avoid complex post-flop decisions.


2. Position Awareness: Play more hands in late positions (like the dealer button) and fewer in early positions to capitalize on positional advantages.


3. Avoid Limping: Refrain from just calling the big blind; instead, raise to apply pressure and gain initiative.


4. Adjust Bet Sizing: Standardize your preflop raises to about 2-3 times the big blind, adjusting based on table dynamics.


5. Consider Stack Sizes: Be mindful of your stack and opponents’ stacks to make informed decisions, especially regarding all-in situations.


6. React to Opponents’ Actions: Fold weaker hands to raises and re-raises, and be cautious when facing aggression.


7. Use Suited Connectors Sparingly: Play hands like 6♠️7♠️ cautiously, as they can be challenging for beginners.


8. Avoid Fancy Plays: Stick to straightforward strategies; avoid bluffs and complex moves until more experienced.


9. Continuous Learning: Regularly study and practice to improve your preflop game and overall poker skills.



Implementing these tips can help beginners make more informed decisions and build a solid foundation in poker.

Those are good tips! I believe that playing tight and being position oriented is the basics that any new poker player should learn. This means that if you know how to play the strong starting hands, then you be able to change depending on your position which is a very powerful thing.
