Texas Hold em Strategy – Top Opening Hands
One of the biggest troubles that I encountered when I first got into Hold’em was figuring out what cards to play in what Placement. Usually I would have burned on a hand that I thought was a beneficial starting hand. Come to find out they were excellent hands, just not in the placement I was wagering them from. Here is a pretty basic list of what type of hands to bet on and what location it is suitable to play them in. Keep in mind this chart does not factor in raises or suits.
Play From Any Placement
AA KK Queen, Queen JJ TT 99 Eight, Eight AK Ace, Queen AJ AT King, Queen King, Jack
Play Mid to Late Location
66 55 KT Queen, Jack QT JT
Wager on in Late Location Only
A9 Ace, Eight Ace, Seven King, Nine King, Eight Queen, Nine Jack, Nine Jack, Eight T9 Ten, Eight 98 97
If you are just starting to bet on poker, betting these hands at the suggested positions will assist you usually be in a safe location before the flop. As your game progresses, you’ll be able to add far more hands to this list and know how to play them in particular situations. If you’re just starting to wager on cards, I would suggest betting for nickels and dimes at household or for free of cost at a web-based poker site. Poker web sites are nice because you have to see many far more hands per hour than you do at household. Some goods sites to wager on for no cost are UltimateBet and PartyPoker.com.
