When being a good poker player, one must posses all three very important traits and that is determination, testicular fortitude and of course, a little luck wouldn't hurt.
Regardless of what strategy you bring in to the table, more often than not, some young, upstart rookie will burn you.
That's just the nature of the game.
So, is there really a strategy when playing poker? The answer to that is no. But what you can do is observe and play the game the poker table dictates. For example, a post-flop play would work since you are making opponents pay for drawing out.
If you get beat too often with premium hands, say pair of kings or a pair of jacks when raising 3-4 times the big blind, than you'll have to be happy with raising 5-6 times the big blind and winning the blinds.
This is assuming all your opponents are the same, which is hardly true. Some players are gamblers but some are not so you need to find out which ones have a lot of gamble in them and which ones are just playing it safe.
Once you do that, you'll be able to guess whether they will raise, call or fold even before they make their move.
You also have to check your own betting patterns. You don't want to be too predictable especially in poker as poker players see that instantaneously. Try limping with a big hand just to change up and see if that opponent falls to the trap you set-up.
