Firstly, probably the easiest of the poker tips and tricks I can give you revolves around position at the table. The later position you are, or closer to the dealer button but not past the blinds, the more hands you can play. The reason for this, is that having position on your opponents means that you can use their decisions to make the best possible decision yourself given how the table plays out. This means that it's harder for your opponent to read your hand as he has to make the first move, and therefore it is more profitable to play a wider range of hands which confuses your opponent even further.
