My best piece of advice for someone who is new to hold-em is to not slowplay your cards very often, unless you are 99 percent confident that you will win the pot. While slowplaying is a good way to get more money out of your opponent, it is also a good way to get absolutely crushed by someone on a draw. And in hold-em, its better to take down a small pot than to lose in a big one. When I first started playing, i was big on slowplaying my cards, however i quickly learned that this was not the best strategy except for certain cases.
