Playing on a cash game is a bit different from playing in a poker tournament. Following are some of the points that would certainly help you if you are new to a poker cash table.
1) Unlike a Poker tournament, in a cash game you have a lot of time to wait for the right hand. Blinds are always the same and there is an option to re-buy and reload your chips. Therefore it is advisable to play fewer hands especially in early positions.
2) You should have enough money at your disposal so your decisions don‘t become one sided i.e. between all-in or fold. Try to buy-in for at least 100 times the big blind amount, so in INR 1-2 game, you should sit with at least INR 200.
3) Look for the weak players and take full advantage of their bad play. You should never feel bored of taking all the money off these players.
4) When you sit down, don't post your big blind early. Wait for your big blind to naturally come around and use the time to observe. Identify what types of players are at the table and especially pay attention to people’s betting patterns.
5) Do make sure that you understand how to calculate both your outs and the pot odds. It is also important to understand implied odds. This is a key skill for every winning player, and without it you cannot make correct decisions.
6) Many players will play a hand worried about a bad beat. Of course bad beats do happen in poker but they are quite rare so you must not be tense about such a probability. Playing aggressively with a good hand will surely benefit you in the long run.
7) Think about what you are trying to accomplish with your bet. Always remember that how much you bet determines the odds you are giving your opponent. Your goal should be to force them to make incorrect decisions.
