Not giving away your hands is the key to getting the most out of your money or chips in free online poker.
Moving all in on the river or pre-flop is only the right move when it's really your only option, for example, Short stacked. In poker you need to think to yourself what would I do if I was in the same situation I am putting them in? When do call an all in pre-flop or on the river?
I'm expecting that you would say when you believe you had better cards. If you're going to get called on an all in on a pre flop or river then your cards should at least be an Ace / Queen pre flop and a good pair with a high kicker on the river.
Consdier your move before acting:
If you had put a player on a flush draw and they don't hit on the river why bet your normal bet? Bet something they may actually call even after missing.
If you insist on needing to bet large amounts of money with your made hands I would suggest just over betting the pot instead of all in and doing it more often then with just the best of the best.
The more you blag the higher chances you will get called- the majority of opponents will blag with over bets rather than all ins.
Showing a few of your not so great hand can help as well. If you got everyone to lay down with a middle pair of 6's even if it was the best hand in the group showing it will tell people you can bet with less than perfection.
Hopefully my tips will help you get the best out of your hands when you are playing free online poker.... good luck and I really hope to see you at the poker tables very soon!!
