Professional poker players like Mathew Frankland and Philipp Gruissem have spoken about what helped them move from novice to superior levels. See the following tips for better success with your playing:

 1. Manage your time well This game is going to take much of your time. First of all, consider if you can adapt your life to the new schedule. Also, see if everything else fits in your day.  

2. Making it a routine Don't fear that the poker routine will bore you. It will actually help you become a power-player. Experts advise you to make it a daily ritual. Play at about the same time if you can. This will help your brain enter the 'poker mode' and you'll have the right mood every time.  

3. Give it plenty of time Poker is hard work, too. You might believe that if you're lucky with it or you develop strategies you're going to soar. In fact, it's hard work and many hours of play that makes the champions.  

4. Simplify your environment Avoid all exterior stimuli, but also the ones on the screen. Professional players even take out game avatars, because those are distracting them. Play against a black background and choose the cards to be contrasting or whatever helps you focus on them and not on other elements.  

5. Avoid being tired Tired players fail at online poker. It is because they don't have the right mind set and they'd rather do something else. Playing doesn't manage to relax them, although they think it would. When you feel tired or overwhelmed, it's best to skip playing poker.  

6. Think of other players' reasons In between hands, don't waste time. Look at what everyone did and question yourself why they did that. By being observant you could figure out their intentions and improve your game.

There is a massive amount of tournaments online for new players. It is important not to get distracted by the many elements like excitement, fear, colors and sounds. Just relax, it will help you make the most of the deposit you made. Try the tips above for several days in a row and notice how you're making better and better folds.
