The most important thing I noticed from reading this article is on risk taking. Seems like you dont have to have the best hand to bet; All you need to figure out is the strength of your opponents through their betting. If it seems like they are marginal-weak then you can bet like you have a very strong hand and steal the pot.

know the style your opponent plays and try to adjust to it - thats the key in poker - general advice is not good in most cases.

I have found that if you play aggressive all it takes is one player to call you and snag the win on the river and its all gone. mind you if you go to free fifty dollars if you do loose it does not matter and they give you 100% of your first deposit too

sometimes I like to bet aggressively out of position when people are limping after the flop...lots of times it works and they fold, but you have to be careful for those slow players too. It depends a lot on whats on the board also.

You know, from my prospective of limping in and the aggressiveness that players show, when they feel that their hand is at value of what they want to think that it is worth that much some tend to get caught up in some hands that they believe they are pot committed. Which they are usually not it's all upon their decision and their theory of how their overview of poker really means to them. But I like capitalizing on the limpers too. Because if their ain't limpers then there won't be those big juicy pots. LOL with hahahahhaha.
