While you might think that becoming the best online poker player takes years of practice, you may be surprised to find that by making small changes to your game today could swing the flow of cash to your account. Even making one small change shifts the power from leaking your money to other players and to growing your bankroll steadily. Try a few of these tips and watch your money start bursting from your account each day.

 

The Power of the Raise
 

There are going to be many times during you play at the online poker table where a raise could be called and cost you a small fortune and huge chunk of your chips. If you want to begin to build your reputation and build your bankroll at the same time, start raising pre-flop. This is a real safe play and one that will burn you the least. The ideal time to try the raise is when you are in a pot with weak players and they have the blind. Let them check the bets, then come back with a decent size raise that makes them question whether or not they really want to get into a chip battle with such a poor starting hand.

 

Using the Board to Fight
 

One of the easiest ways to tell the story that you have a solid betting hand is to just wait until you see that the board drops an ace, then see how other people react. Chances are pretty good that once that ace hits the board, the rest of the table will check because the draws are scared they are way behind and the small pairs just got crushed. If the ace hits the board and you see a chance to pounce, make sure your bet is big enough they won't want to risk their stacks to fight you.
