This tip is a mix of 20 and 4.
Although you shouldn't make the boldest and most complicated plays, you can still think and try to find the best way to play a hand.
If you see that a check / raise is a good alternative to a continuation bet, go for it. If you want to bluff 3-barrel, because you correctly believe that it is a successful line, go ahead.
Again: don't be afraid to make mistakes, try things. However, if you follow this path, examining your game afterwards becomes even more important.
Learn what the kinds of bets are. You should always know why you are betting.
Is your goal to bluff so better hands fold? Or do you bet for value and want weaker hands to call you?
This may sound marginal, but many players don't think about it too much and don't know why they should bet. Bluff or courage, that is the question. You should know!
If you already know why you are betting, the next thing is to know how much.
The bet sizes are decisive as they will greatly influence your win rate. You give your opponents odds, so you need to know what they are and what bet sizes you use.
This is something basic, you have to work on it thoroughly.
As we have already mentioned, odds are a very important element of No Limit Hold'em. Here you will find all the basic information about them.
What odds do you have when your opponent bets? What do you need to pay with a color project? How many do you need to call all-in? Can you calculate them two or three streets in advance?
This does not sound easy, but they are situations that you will face from the beginning.
You cannot ignore projects, you must work on them from the beginning.
At first it may seem like too much information, but it is essential that you study these concepts from the beginning.
In relation to this, you should try to have a plan on how you can develop the basic knowledge that you are acquiring.
Reading the articles to be able to mark them as read is of no use. Work on them little by little and understand what you are reading.
If you don't like something or have another point of view, comment on the forum. Actively participate, forums will help you a lot throughout your career.
Play a session, work on it little by little, and then study some theory. It may cost you a bit, but be patient, no one is born knowing.
Pay attention to what your opponents do and how often they do it. Never forget the following principle: a bet doesn't mean much, but if your opponent raises, don't underestimate him.
Bluff bets are common, bluff raises are much rarer.
Try to find a partner who has the same goals: you can motivate yourselves, develop theoretical knowledge and go to training together.
Ideally, you should see each other play using user2user sessions.
This will help you solve many problems, it is also fun and forces you to develop your best game without going to tilt.
A small step for the bankroll, a big step for you.
Set realistic goals and be happy when you reach them. Going up the limit is fine, you can be proud of that, no matter what limit you have raised.
Do not always seek to reach the stars, you have to be aware that you still have a lot to learn, but you should always celebrate the small successes. Remember, have fun playing and reward yourself when you are successful.
If you only aim for the top and don't pay attention to the small victories, you will never be happy.
The Peter principle states the following: keep going until you can no longer advance.
It does not mean that there will be certain limits or goals that you can never reach, it means that you may not be that far along yet. Even if your bankroll is right, you may lack the knowledge, experience, patience, and coolness to make the jump.
You need cold blood to get rid of the feeling of sitting on money scared, that you think about the money you have put on the table.
There are many reasons why going up the limit can be a failure. Try to find out what your reason is and if you can't, you can be satisfied with what you have already achieved.
Not everyone can play at the highest limits.
Conclusion
I hope these tips can help you know what you need to keep in mind to become a good poker player in the long run.
One of the points may not be a problem for you, but another seems an insurmountable obstacle. As I have already mentioned, the important thing is that you recognize your mistakes and work on them. When you do, very few things will stand in your way to the top.
