Texas Holdem Techniques – Top Starting Hands

One of the biggest problems that I encountered when I first got into Texas hold em was figuring out what cards to play in what Location. Usually I would get burned on a hand that I thought was a great starting hand. Come to locate out they were good hands, just not in the placement I was betting them from. Here is a pretty basic list of what kind of hands to bet on and what placement it’s suitable to bet on them in. Keep in mind this chart does not factor in raises or suits.

Wager on From Any Location

Ace, Ace King, King Queen, Queen Jack, Jack Ten, Ten 99 Eight, Eight AK Ace, Queen Ace, Jack Ace, Ten King, Queen KJ

Wager on Mid to Late Location

Six, Six Five, Five KT Queen, Jack Queen, Ten JT

Bet on in Late Position Only

Ace, Nine A8 Ace, Seven K9 K8 Q9 Jack, Nine J8 T9 T8 Nine, Eight Nine, Seven

If you’re just beginning to wager on poker, wagering these hands at the suggested positions will help you always be in a safe position prior to the flop. As your game progresses, you’ll be able to add more hands to this list and know how to wager on them in specific situations. If you are just beginning to play cards, I would recommend playing for nickels and dimes at household or for free of charge at an online poker website. Poker web sites are nice because you acquire to see several much more hands per hour than you do at household. A few goods websites to wager on for free of charge are UltimateBet and PartyPoker.com.
