strategy for a young inexperienced poker player.?

If I am a young inexperienced poker player, should I just go all-in everytime, so that my weaknesses won't get expose and make everyone have to take their chances with me.

1. No. If you go all-in everytime, at some point someone WILL call you (especially if they have the cards to back it up) and you will be out of the game. Best way to play at this point is to bet modestly and watch how others play. Watch their betting techniques, and model after them. You will soon feel more comfortable and be more experienced. Good luck.
2. all in works every time but once... play online with play $ first , then play some touneys get good then try real $
3. that is not a good ideal to go all in every time, one you will lose a lot of money. two the other players would lure you into an all in situation. I suggest that you play on line for free until you get a better understanding how to play each hand. Then play 1-2 or 2-4 limit table is a best way to improve you game/skill before you move up to the unlimited table. Watch what the community cards are and how each player bet, if your is weak bail out soon and watch the action. If your hand is strong play big. Good luck
4. That would be awful. Just keep your mouth closed, your eyes open , your chip close and tight and learn
5. I actually don't recommend playing online for play money because it is not accurate poker. You will never get a feel for how hold-em is really played because nobody cares about losing so they will play with anything. When you are first starting, it is best to play with only really good hands. This will give you the chance to win money while watching how everyone else plays. I suggest playing with any pocket pair, A-K and A-Q. And raise big before the flop when you have these hands. This will mostly knock out all the weak drawing hands. And if you have the top 3 hands (A-A, K-K, or Q-Q) and there is a raise before the flop, or a reraise, go all in. Most likely you are winning that hand. After a while you will see the betting patterns of the players and the different techniques and you will get better and better.
6. 1. Do not go all in every single time. Eventually people are going to be bored of your tactics and will call with a hand better than yours. 2. When you start you should probaly play a tight game (playing only premium hands). Just play AA,KK, AK, QQ, and AQ. Once you get the feel of the game start playing more hands. Always be agressive, but know when you are beat. Eventually you try playing loose and see what happens.If it doesnt work then play tight again. 3. Alot of beginers are willing to call all in with a draw. Remeber you need 2-1 on the turn and 4-1 on the river. 4. You should probaly read a book. Yours skills will be much better.
7. no that is just dumb a cave man can do that. play small games to learn some moves so if you lose you lose small not big
8. Here's an idea why not try to improve yourself though hard work and study? Your question is like asking if the best way to win at golf is to hit the ball as hard as you can every time you take a shot. Clearly its not going to work. Practice playing online for play money. Some argue that play money is not the same, but once you get up to some $80,000 sit and go tournaments on a site like Poker Stars you are going to meet players who are every bit as good as low stakes cash players. Read some books. Don't just try and wing your strategy based on some Yahoo! answers and what you see on TV. Professional players didn't get that good by adopting some random strategy they made up and applying it without understanding of the game. Poker is like any other skill it takes time, effort, study and practice to become good at the game. If you are not willing to invest that kind of time or effort into being a good player then don't play at all. As the expression goes, "if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well."
9. you have the right idea, but i think it is a little extreme...the best thing to do is to play tighter and more aggressively...i would suggest raising 5x the big blind before the flop, and again doing it only with strong hands, and then playing aggressively on the flop as well...this is because by playing better hands and by playing very aggressively, you force your opponents to be the ones making decisions...and as an inexperienced player, you don't want to be the one making the decisions, because the more decisions you make the better the chance that you will make a mistake of course, the goal though is to improve your decision making, especially post-flop, so you can shift from this risky strategy to one in which you can protect your chips more and have an even better chance to win as well
10. You should only play good hands in position when you are first starting out. Position is the most important factor you have to think about when you play a hand of poker. I would not advise you to just go all in when you have a hand, because you will either get called by a hand that has you crushed, or you will only win the blinds and everyone will fold. What you want to do with a great starting hand is make a raise of 3-4 times the big blind. This will get weaker hands out and you will get second best hands to call you. Some basic questions i ask myself every time i play a hand of poker is, what position am i in, how many chips do i have, how many chips do other players have, if i am a small stack should i push all-in, can i get the blinds to fold if i raise, is the table loose or tight, i am playing loose or tight? As you can see there is a lot to think about when you play a hand of poker. A famous poker player has said if i don't flop it, im done with it. He was saying that if he misses the flop he is ready to fold his hand in most cases. But just play tight for the most part, as you get better you can open up your game and add some weaker hands. But just know that the weaker my position, the stronger my cards have to be in order to play. If you are thinking of calling or folding, you should fold, if you are thinking of calling or raising, then raise. Aggresion is rewarded in hold em, it's just knowing when to be aggresive is the key. good luck.
11. I would be careful to adopt the newbie all in strategy. That's exactly the kind of strategy a shark will look for and you will get trapped. Your basic strategy, and im assuming you will be up against mostly amateurs anyways, should be to play very tight aggressive. Meaning that in a game of 9 people you will need at least 99 in the 1st position to play. Consider raising after the flop when you raised preflop even if you don't connect. Any more info than that and i would have to charge you for it. There is more to know than you can imagine.
12. Going all-in all the time is not a smart move. While you may win a little every time, you just need to lose once to lose it all. Poker is a game that requires a lot of patience. For the inexperienced player, here's two guides to help you get started: For No limit Texas Hold'em Cash games, see http://www.suntzupoker.com/texas-holdem-no-limit-starting-hand-guide.aspx For Single Table Sit And Go tournaments, see http://www.suntzupoker.com/single-table-tournament-strategy.aspx
13. They will take their chances with you when they have the better of it odds wise, so you might get lucky a few times, but eventually you will go broke. Wait for ace king, Ace queen, or a pair, and then go all in. I am assuming you are playing in a tourney one time, and thats the best advice I can give you for that one tourney, if you want to play more poker, read a book. There are a ton out there, and most will give you the basics.
