Before throwing in your bet or calling ..

Although improvement is possible with virtually every hand, most beginners forget that players with better hands can also improve their hands on the draw, and that eventually the player with the best hand before a draw is likely to have the best hand after the draw as well. Generally, if you have reason to believe that your opponent has a better hand than you at any point in one betting round, the appropriate action is to fold. 

However, if the money in the pot is large compared to the bet required to be part of it (the "pot odds"), a call is possible. This is the case particularly when a player has a straight or flush draw. However, the approximate odds of hitting an "open staircase" in the next draw is 6-1, and the odds of making a flush are 5-1. As such, folding is recommended if the money you MIGHT win is less than the bet.

There's a difference between just listening to advice and applying it in practice .. The more hands you play, the more experience you gain, which helps you to improve your game-play level even without yourself noticing.
