What are the Basic Betting Strategies for Beginners?

[Flower]

Betting is one of the most important aspects of poker, and the basic understanding of strategies can really make a difference in one's game. The beginner must first learn the basic concepts on which the advanced strategies are based. The better the beginner understands the basics, the more informed the betting decisions will be at the table.

I would recommend learning about value betting. Here's an article I wrote on value bets almost a year ago: https://poker.community/threads/extracting-value-from-opposing-players.436/

New players also over raise when they get premium hands, play the hands like you normally would, and you'll get paid more. You don't want experienced players to pick up on betting patterns.

As Bawse kind of pointed out above, it's best not to stick to a certain betting pattern or "rule" of how to bet based on certain hands - this will lead to experienced poker players quickly picking up even narrower ranges from you when assessing your bets. For this exact reason, every now and then I do something a bit strange at the table - I'll raise a 6-9 unsuited pre-flop or something.

Just to keep the players I know are vastly more experienced than me on their toes.

The beginners should focus on observing their opponent's betting habits and adjust their strategies accordingly. Adaptability is a key to winning at the poker table.
