Tips

Watch their faces: In poker matches, opponents change their expressions based on their hands. A sudden confident smirk or a nervous sweat is a reliable tell that helps you decide whether to fold or raise.
Start small: Don’t rush into high-stakes games immediately. Take on the lower-minimum tables near the entrance to build a comfortable cushion before challenging the VIPs.
