The first thing you have to bear in mind is that online poker is rigged. The online casino makes it's money by raking or taking part of the pot. So the casino rigs games in a several different ways to increase their rake.
Here are some simple rules for playing online poker. If you obey them you’ll immediately win!
1) Always play any hand and at least take a look at the flop especially if you are UTG.
2) If you receive big hole cards (AA, KK, QQ, AKs, etc) be cautious. If you flop a monster hand check the board and see if anyone else could have the nuts or draw the nuts. If there is a chance of someone getting a better hand it will probably happen.
3) Always chase flushes and straights. you will be suprised how many you will hit on the river.
4) If you flop a straight or a flush, fold immediately. If you flop a straight someone will get a flush and if you flop a flush someone will get a full house.
5) If your stack is getting a little short, just push all in. Chances are you will win regardless of what you have. You do have to keep in mind that someone with a smaller or equal stack may call you though.
Good luck!!!

quitting while you're ahead strategy
I know, I know....how many times have we all been ahead and then we get greedy trying to "win a little more before cashing out" only to lose it all...or worse yet....that darned REVERSE WITHDRAWAL BUTTON!
The best piece of advice I learned was when you are ahead and have cashed out at a casino, SIMPLY UNINSTALL THE PROGRAM during the period of time that is required before the casino will submit the withdrawal! i did this the other night at a new casino I tried.....and am so glad I did. Otherwise, I would have been tempted to reverse that withdrawal.
**Of course, I would suggest you wait to uninstall until you have received a confirmation email with the tracking # of your withdrawal from the casino. Fortunately for me, I received that immediately .
