Don’t play too many hands. Its the most common and costly mistake in online poker. In a ten-seat NL-game you should see something like 20% of the flops. In a six-seat game 30-34%. If the game are loose and passive figures go up and if its aggressive they go down.

Don’t call big raises pre flop to often. There are few hands you should call a big pre flop-raise with. You need a very good hand to stay in the pot, and if you have that you should re-raise most of the time.

Don’t play too high limits. Not only are you risking too much there’s also a risk that you will play too passive if you don’t feel comfortable with the stakes.
