10 useful tips for becoming a profitable poker player online:

1. If you are new to the game of online poker, make sure you know the rules of the game before you make any big bets.
2. Don't forget to take advantage of the great bonuses and promos most online poker rooms offer. For instance, you might get paid for referring friends or get an extra bonus if you use a certain payment processor. So always read about what your poker room has to offer and use the promos to increase your bankroll!
3. The players at the lower limit tables are usually not as skilled as the ones playing at the higher limit tables. So if you are new to the game, always start out at the low limit tables and work your way up. Beginners usually start as the low limit tables - a fact that makes it easier for you to take home the cash!
4. Many beginners tend to focus all their attention on their own game. Don't. Try to pay attention to your fellow players as well, since you will definitely learn a lot from their games and their mistakes. Also, the key to playing poker is to be able to read your opponents and figure out why they play the way they do.
5. Most poker amateurs tend to play way too many starting hands. To become profitable online, you have to realize that it is sometimes more lucrative to fold. In other words, you need to know when to hold'em, and know when to fold'em
6. Don't play too predictably. While you are trying to figure out why your opponents play the way they do, they are trying to figure you out. By not playing your hands the same way every time, your game will be harder to read which in turn will give you a slight advantage.
7. If you really want to learn the game, take advantage of the features most online poker rooms provide such as "game history". Also, there is a huge amount of useful information about poker on the Net - read it!
8. Never bet money you can't afford to lose and don't be greedy. If you lose all the money you've just won, you definitely are!
9. Always use your common sense and bet responsibly. For instance, don't try to recover losses by increasing bets.
10. Nobody becomes a poker pro over night - so just keep practicing!
