A common mistake a new poker player may make is to over bluff. The difference between the bluff and the semi bluff is, when bluffing you usually do not have a winning hand. The semi bluff is used when you have a hand that could win depending on the next card drawn.

The first 5/7 cards you receive will be the foundation of your hand. Build your strategy around these. You're not likely to better your opening hand. We believe that the odds of improving your hand on the draw are about even.
Don't draw to the low end or both ends of a straight. If a 9 8 7 flops, you want to be playing the J 10 and not the 6 5 or the 10 6. The low part is commonly called the 'ignorant' end of the straight.
You'll soon discover who the strong players are at the table. As tempting as it is, try to resist the temptation of trying to beat them at risk of losing sight of the other aspects of your game. You'll lose big time if you're not lucky. If you're lucky enough to win, it'll hardly be worth the effort.
Unconnected Medium and Low Cards are Usually Unplayable. This includes suited cards that can't flop a straight. Both ends of a straight such as 9 5 fall into this very weak catagory.
Commit this to memory: If you can't beat the other hands, don't join them, fold and live to play another day. The table will always be ready when you are. Above all else, try to have fun.
Play starting low pairs cautiously. 66 down to 22. Usually not from an early seat and from the late positions, only when the price is right. If you don't flop a set (trips or fours) you should usually fold.
The first tip suggested by the professionals: Play quick high pairs and very strong hands before the flop, which will put more money in the early pot and encourage weak and nonsense hands to fold and bring you to the easy victory and large pot.
Play aggressively when you have a two way draw after the flop. If you can make a straight AND a flush or trips etc., usually bet/raise your hand.
The seventh, or the "lucky tip" as it is usually called is to bet an Ace or two high over-cards after a worthless flop, when all the flop is unconnected cards of medium and low rate. If somebody rises at such worthless flop - it's better to fold.
Watch flops of 6, 7, 8 sort, because they can work out to be a good straight, which will overcome a high pair and other worthy hands.
Check the raisers chips. Players that are close to all-in often rush the betting just to get all their chips in a sink-or-swim last hand.
Learn all the possible combinations of hands. A worthless flop can turn in a cool hand combined with your pocket cards.
Get caught bluffing once in a while. It is a way to vary your play and not be too predictable. You win pots that you don't deserve when your bluff works. You lose a few chips when it doesn't work but it will get you calls from weaker hands down the line when you have a strong hand and need the action.
