In this 10-part beginner poker strategy video series PokerListings.com gives you a crash course on the finer points of not sucking at poker.
Episode 1 is an important one: Play fewer hands. Most poker players are too loose and end up losing tons of money betting or calling with the worst hand.
In Texas Hold’em there are 169 different starting hands and chances are you’re playing too many of them. When you’re starting out it’s important to keep things simple. One big way to do that is to only play when you have really good cards. Beginners often try to copy what they see on TV by raising and bluffing with any two cards but the truth is, in low-stakes poker games bluffing is no-where near as important as getting value from your big hands.
Players might be bored, or just more interested in gambling and having fun than making money, and they’re all going to be playing way too many hands. If you want to make money you have to develop some discipline. Let’s start by playing a narrow range of starting hands and giving ourselves the best chance of showing up with the winning hand at showdown. Sticking to good starting hands will also make our post-flop decisions way easier and cut down on the chances we’re dominated and putting money in the pot with the worst hand.

Play good hands. Okay, got it.

The fact of the matter is this: the acceptable range of starting hands varies widely depending on position/quality of other players. If you can bully a table full of wimps and newbies with a 2-7 starting hand, DO IT. If everybody is snapping off bluffs right and left, play conservative. Not complicated. Folding every hand that isn't dominant is a foolish way to play, tips off everybody you only play huge hands (so you'll win tiny pots).
If you never get caught bluffing, then you aren't bluffing enough.

I thought this was excellent
Best to just mix it up throughout the game. Showing any style of play is always telling.
"only raise on good hands", lol, what a badty advice
One really should only play about 5-6 hands an hour. If you are playing more than that, statistics clearly demonstrate you are playing a lot of weak hands. now some days and some games may want you to play more hands, for example there are few pre flop raises. But in the long run, calling with or playing many weak hands will hurt your bottom line
This video bad. WTF is this meta? You are inspiring NITs
