Concentrate on how you are playing, not how much you are winning.  In online poker, the swings are there – this is inevitable.  What you need to pay most attention to is if you are playing the game well or not.  If you are playing well, then you will overcome the swings – but if you are only concentrating on how much money you are making – your mental state will always be affected by this.

Sure, getting great hands helps – but on top of having a great poker hand, you need to find the best situation to play them.  Pay attention to your table.  Find the situation and the players that you can best take advantage of.  If a player just lost a big pot and raises - take advantage of his thoughts.

Just because you are in a rut, doesnt mean that things are going to turn around.  Grind it out, and dont find yourself playing marginal poker hands just because you believe the software owes you now.  It doesnt!  Poker Software’s are random; meaning, you could go on and on without getting hands – this doesnt mean you are going to hit the flops with marginal hands – it means, wait until it turns around!

If you arrive in a game, online OR offline, and you are over-eager to play poker - this is generally going to affect the way you play.  You want to get into the game, and you want to start playing – but if your hands are not good, you may find yourself wanting to play them just to get into the game.  If your hands are ok, you may find yourself over playing them.  And if your hands are great, you may find yourself not getting the value you need out of your hands!

A great online poker secret would have to be, play when you are calm, relaxed, in a zone, and ready to focus.

Just because you have made a mistake in your poker game, doesnt mean you need to continue it!  If you call a bet that you really shouldnt – do not make excuses to call again.  If you make a bet that you shouldnt have, do not make a continuation bet just because you started betting in the first place.
