Maybe my headline is a little bit exagerated: there are a lot of other important things, but I want to remark that there are too many beginners that lose money by playing poker because they don't know some basic rules.

I'm not suggesting that you should study for months before starting to play poker, but I'm suggesting that you should read the basic rules of poker before you do it.

For example, a great poker guide can help you avoid most frequent mistakes that a beginner often does.

I play poker for fun, but my fun moments are really better when I win: I studied basic rules, they are simple, don't worry, and I changed my strategy. Now, I really win more than before.

The rules offer you the right way to elaborate a winner strategy based on the value of your cards.

If you want to now your chances of winning: you can use a poker calculator to do this.
