Don't give freecards
For all the begginers out there, one piece of advice I can give you is too not slowplay or try to trap with your hands. Only in rare situations is it OK to do this. First of all, if there are two of the same suit or two cards seprated by 5 or less gaps, you are possibly making someone a straight/flush on the turn or river. I can count two times in the past few days where I gave a free card and someone hit a set on the turn. Luckily, one of these times I was able to get away from the hand, but the other busted me in a tourney that I could have easily gone on the place in the money. Remember, when you have the goods, push with them. Aggression is the key, at least in no limit.
