Fourth, when you hit, push the action. If you do hit the flop well and make your hand, BET IT. As well as building the pot, you want to make it as expensive as you can for your opponents to draw at you.

Fifth, know how to read. This goes along with number 4 above. It is essential that you know how to "read" the board. Reading the board will tell you whether you have the nuts, or near-nuts, as well as give you valuable clues as to what your opponents may be holding. When you're not in a hand, practice looking at the board. Take note of the cards that come up and try to figure what the best possible hand would be at each street. Once you know that, it's a simple matter to see where your hand stands and whether it's worth a bet, or a check/fold.

Take these tips with you on your next casino trip or to your next online session. Practice these strategies and you will improve your percentages of finishing in the money. As a special bonus, the patience and discipline you develop playing these Limit Hold'Em strategies will pay off big when you start playing the larger, No Limit games and tournaments.
