Tip # 5: Play your big hands aggressively
Poker is an easy game when you ' re hitting big hands over and over. However, many players don ' t make enough on their large hands. Don ' t bet $ 30 into a $ 150 pot when you have the nuts. Bet closer to the dimension of the pot. Maximize your hand ' s value. If your opponent called you on the flop and called you on the turn, if you ' re holding the nuts, fire out a large bet on the river. Don ' t bet small expecting a call. Often your big bet will get your opponent to fold but, more often than not, you ' ll get a call.
