Take more care when choosing which hand to use.

When you first start playing poker online, it is easy to get hooked on the excitement and play as many hands possible. It's tempting to be aggressive and get high on the chance of winning, but this is a sure way to lose your chips quickly without any chance of success. Instead, it is important to be thoughtful about what hands you play and how they stack up after the flop.
