The first thing you have to bear in mind is that online poker is rigged. The online casino makes it's money by raking or taking part of the pot. So the casino rigs games in a several different ways to increase their rake.

Here are some simple rules for playing online poker. If you obey them you’ll immediately win!

1) Always play any hand and at least take a look at the flop especially if you are UTG.

2) If you receive big hole cards (AA, KK, QQ, AKs, etc) be cautious. If you flop a monster hand check the board and see if anyone else could have the nuts or draw the nuts. If there is a chance of someone getting a better hand it will probably happen.

3) Always chase flushes and straights. you will be surprised how many you will hit on the river.

4) If you flop a straight or a flush, fold immediately. If you flop a straight someone will get a flush and if you flop a flush someone will get a full house.

5) If your stack is getting a little short, just push all in. Chances are you will win regardless of what you have. You do have to keep in mind that someone with a smaller or equal stack may call you though.

Good luck!!!

It would be tough for me to fold a straight or a flush if I flopped it.

Best strategy? Taking notes which you cant do while playing live poker. Keep detailed notes on your opponents, you might face a game with them the next day.

There are so many tournaments online, scheduling them and remembering which ones you have scheduled is difficult. Also when scheduling, remember to leave your schedule open so that you can be assured sufficient time to finish a tournament that you start rather than having to watch the clock.

Don't play poker to escape other things.

Don't play when you are in the midst of an argument or to avoid doing something that is weighing on your mind. You cannot, and will not play your best game if you are preoccupied with something else. If you must play when preoccupied, do so at a lower limit table so that you can handle the swings in your bankroll without really being affected by them.

You should BET SMART.
Don't be scared to fold. One of the more intimidating aspects of the game of poker is how much or how little one should bet. Keep a poker face. We also can't emphasize enough the importance of keeping a poker face while betting, and not giving any clues about how good your hand is. The whole point of the game is to make sure that they have NO clues, other than the bets you make.
