If you are new to poker, I would recommend keeping your poker play fairly simple. If you pick up a good hand I would say, raise with it, be cautious of playable hands in early position, and bet out when you connect to try and see if you are in front. If you have been playing quite some time, you might still find basic poker is profitable for you, and if this is the case then you shouldn’t feel the need to change.

For me though, the whole experience of playing poker is personified by making a correct read and pulling off a top class move to either pick up the chips, or prevent yourself losing most of them.
We would all love to play poker all evening and have (A,A) stand up against (K,K) on every key pot, and for each fold to be a simple one. But it has always been in pokers nature to present players with tests of skill and decision making during a game, and our responses to these will shape our result for the evening, as well as the long term.

I never ask to be involved in a tricky situation where I have to play some real poker to get away from my hand or pick up the pot with a good read, but that doesn’t mean I do not enjoy it. I have always been the type of player that relishes these scenarios, as they are the true test of skill during a game of poker.
As you improve your play at poker, you might find you start to surprise yourself with decisions you make in crucial hands, and the trust you have in your reading ability should always be the catalyst for making these excellent plays.
