I would warn you that even if you are successful and don't lose money, you will most certainly invest and lose a lot of time.

I think time is one of the most valuable things we have in this life and it's a shame to waste it.

Not to say there is no value in it, but I do regret wasting so much of my life time playing freerolls.

i would say the biggest thing for newbies would be to play as many freerolls as possible. Learn your strategies there, gain confidence, before you put your hard earned money in the pot.

Play the freerolls — there are plenty of those here. Don’t jump straight into playing with your own money.

If you don't have a bankroll to play with, my advice is to play freerolls, that way you'll get one to play with without having to invest at the beginning.

Folding weak hands preflop saves you money. Don’t get tempted to play junk just for action!

Start by learning the rules, then move on to learning table positions and basic techniques such as raising, calling and folding. Don't be afraid to start with freerolls to gain experience without risking your own money. It's also important to learn how to control your emotions, watch your opponents and analyze their actions.

Play a lot of freerolls and micro-limit tournaments and avoid playing spin and go. Focus on tournaments and don't get discouraged by losses. It's part of poker.

Don't limp, only if you have a pre-defined strategy.

Soy muy nuevo en el póker en línea, pero me gusta cómo estoy evolucionando y definitivamente necesito consejos para principiantes. Gracias.
Recommending learning the hands according to position, the selection should be strong close to the button, until you learn how to use strategy in early positions, play tournaments according to your bankroll, be patient, work your tilt, and think about a long-term career! salutes

Hello, welcome, friend!
There are lots of tips here, and it's always a good idea to talk a little about the game.
Tell us what you've been playing?
My tip is to focus on just one mode and develop it. Get really good at it, and after a while, you'll have the option to switch between modes.

My most important insight was "Learn to throw away good hands too"

What is still something fashionable?:ROFLMAO:
I know many high roller streamers who have learned GTO inside and out... and do you know what they say? A person (your opponent) is not a machine. It means that you need to adapt to your opponent and playing by adjustments will be much more profitable than playing by GTO.
In live games, you can exploit tendencies and adjust, but online, especially in the early stages, you often can’t really adapt players because you don’t have enough reads yet. That’s where solid GTO knowledge really helps: it keeps you from leaking chips until you gather info. Later, once you spot patterns, you can mix in exploitative adjustments but still in micro/mid limits paterns are bulsh*t mby in FT but not in early/mid/bubble stages
