Play Tight-Aggressively

You will notice that the lower stakes cash games that you start playing with your free 250,000 chips from signing up for an account via PokerNews are extremely loose and passive; they��re not too dissimilar to the low stakes play money games on other online poker sites.

Considering this fact, we have some tips to help you build your play-money bankroll. First, you are likely to enjoy more success by adopting a tight-aggressive style of play. It may be tempting to attempt making moves and running lavish bluffs with trash hands such as 9?3? because there is no money involved, but we advise against it. Have some pride in your poker skills and leave the craziness to those around you who are simply there to splash around in pots.

If you have a premium hand before the flop, raise that baby up to build the pot. Be aware you are probably going to be called by several opponents though. After the flop is dealt, value bet your strong made hands to the max, then hold on for the ride because you are still likely to receive a handful of callers who are either chasing draws or unable to let go of a worse pair.

Be Prepared for a Bumpy Ride

There is a lot of variance in these lower stakes cash games because they are frequented by poker players who have nothing to lose or who are gambling hard in an attempt to win enough chips to play in the higher stakes cash games or in the bigger buy-in tournaments. That said, don��t worry if you burn through your 250,000 chips because you can receive an additional 15,000 chips if you connect your Facebook account to your WSOP Social Poker account, or you could always top up your stack by purchasing more chips in the store, but only if you want to go that route.

At these lower levels the strategy is simple: play tight, bet your strong hands for value, and never ever bluff!

The players seem to become more proficient as you move up stakes on the WSOP Social Poker app, as you would probably expect. These players have either bought more chips so they can play higher, meaning they have money invested in their bankroll, or have played their way through the minefields of the lower stakes games �� which may mean they have good patience and determination.

How Experienced Are Your Opponents?

The higher the number, the more experience points they have accumulated.
