Memorise this order before you sit at the table — the fundamentals every poker player must know
It's not about luck — poker is a game of skill. Master these principles and watch your winnings grow
Avoid tables packed with long-time regulars. Look for tables where players frequently limp (call the blind without raising) — that's a tell-tale sign of weak strategic play.
The number one mistake new players make is playing too many hands. In NL Hold'em, stick to playing around 15–20% of hands from early position. Patience is your greatest weapon in poker.
Playing in late position (on or near the dealer button) gives you a significant edge — you get to see how all the other players act before making your decision. Make the most of it.
Keep your bet sizing consistent so opponents can't read the strength of your hand. A large bet doesn't always signal a strong hand — players who bluff bet big too.
"Tilt" happens when losses push you into playing more aggressively or irrationally. It's one of the biggest causes of major losses in poker. Step away, have a drink of water, and come back with a clear head.
The best poker players always review their hands after a session. Cricex provides a full hand history for you to analyse — use it to identify and fix your weaknesses.

Ask any serious poker player and they'll tell you the same thing — poker isn't just gambling. It's a game of skill, psychology, and discipline that takes years to master. In Malaysia, the poker community is growing fast, with more and more young players seriously honing their game through online platforms like Cricex.
What sets poker apart from other casino games like slots or roulette? In slots, nothing you do can change the outcome — it's 100% random. In poker, every decision you make — whether to fold, call, or raise — directly shapes your long-term results. Skilled players come out ahead over time, regardless of how individual hands fall.
Cricex deeply understands the needs of Malaysian poker players. We offer sufficient traffic to guarantee full tables at all times, with players from across Malaysia — Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Kota Kinabalu, and Kuching — all competing within one large, thriving ecosystem.
Cricex also ensures fair play through independently audited RNG technology and a sophisticated anti-collusion system. This matters in online poker — collusion between players is a real risk on less secure platforms. At Cricex, you can play with full confidence that every card is dealt fairly.
For newcomers just getting into poker, No-Limit Texas Hold'em is the ideal starting point. The rules can be picked up in 30 minutes — but mastering the game takes a lifetime. Two hole cards, five community cards, and your goal is to make the best 5-card hand using any combination of the two.
At Cricex, Texas Hold'em tables are available from stakes as low as RM0.10/RM0.20 — meaning you can sit down and start learning with just RM10. We recommend starting at micro stakes to practise reading situations and making decisions without the pressure of significant financial risk.
One of the biggest draws of poker tournaments is the exceptional risk-to-reward ratio. With a RM20 buy-in, you could compete for RM2,000 or more in the Daily MTT. Cricex. This is something no other casino game can offer — the casino edge in tournament poker is fixed (just a small rake), and the rest is pure skill between players.
The Cricex Grand Weekly Championship, held every Sunday with a guaranteed RM20,000 prize pool, is the most anticipated event among our Malaysian poker players. Deposit via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow, or FPX, register for the tournament, and prove your poker skills to all of Malaysia.
