Playing No-Limit cash games, we always want to make as much money as we can. But it is just a general goal for any poker player. What should we do in order to achieve this target? You may say we play the best poker we can. You are right. It’s all about strategy and hands we are putting money in. In a cash game, you always want to keep your money until you have the best hands possible.

The best advice on how to play No-Limit Hold’em cash games against multiple opponents consists in waiting a rather long time and then striking. You should put your money in only when you get a decent hand; in the pre-flop the best are the following: AA, KK, QQ and A-K.

This tactics is especially effective when played against new players. Most of them like much action and put their money almost in every hand. They watch TV tourneys where the action is followed by the action, so they apply this strategy in cash games. Nevertheless, tournaments have many discrepancies as opposed to cash games so the same techniques can’t always be exercised.

There is a possibility of getting blinded out of the game in tourneys. As a result many top professionals go all-in on A-x and mid pairs. One more reason why you can’t fully trust the TV broadcasting is that they always show the action. That makes it interesting to the audience. If they were showing the details of all sessions including hours of players folding, they would have lost their ratings. The best what they can do is to only play the highlights and the final table where the blinds are extraordinary high and force players to act.

Thus, when a new player comes to play cash game, he expects to see a lot of action and then forces it himself. That is very undesirable in this kind of poker games. You should let the action itself come to you. Sitting at a full-table cash game, you should wait to get the top four pre-flop hands to raise with.

Sometimes you may end up with a few players in the pot after you’ve hit the flop hard. A big pot-sized bet in these multi-way pots will help you to through them out.

The absolutely successful formula for playing No-Limit Hold’em cash games, effective at any size table, is to be patient and wait for straights, flushes or trips before putting your money in. Consistent waiting for the best hands will provide you with winnings in the long run.
