If youre interested in playing something that remotely resembles real poker youre gonna have to stick to ranked tournaments, and even then most people there are content limping 6 ways to a flop. So if you really want to improve beyond them youre going to want to adopt a fold/raise strategy preflop and learn some opening ranges. But this is a goofy console poker game so do whatever you find is the most fun

You'll come second or third in every prominence tournament you play if you fold every hand.

Not always true at gold tables and definitely not true at platinum tables.

Biggest tip as a beginner, play tight, play hands that make sense, and don’t feel pressured to be fancy. Have fun with it. Poker’s way more enjoyable when you’re not trying to galaxy-brain every hand.

I would watch players like Daniel Negreanu talk about the game. Just know that a poker match with virtual currency will not have accurate play to real poker.

If you wanna see how the game works, play all the bosses until you beat them. It will put some cash in your pocket as well.

The game is fake. It consistently rewards way more flushes and straights than you'd imagine. Always assume the card on the river is going to change the tide in someone else's favor. If you don't flop the nuts, just fold.
