Before the profit added Texas Hold'em gods hand selection and the correct way of playing the set. Even a "premium hand" can become a disaster if they can not play properly.
Since it is beyond the scope even of a novel to explain how each hand is played in every possible situation, we will consider first the main features of some key hands and the correct game.
Pocket Aces
Although one could write entire books about how to maximize the profits with this hand, shall not even know that there are few scenarios where you can do with this hand, an error (we are still before the flop).
Post-Flop: Even if the aces are the best starting hand of course, should the board take no improvement, you hold no more than a couple. Keep this in mind and think of possible two pair and sets.
Pocket Kings
For them before the flop almost the same as for the Aces. Although it can happen that are folded pocket kings before the flop, but this is very rarely the case, and usually a mistake.
If someone at the table aces get when you hold kings, it can happen that moves before the flop all the money on the table. Do not worry about it. Should happen that once, bad luck, on we go.
Post-Flop: Again, essentially the same as for the Aces. Apart from the fact that it is only a couple comes here also the fact that you must pay attention to whether an ace is on the board.
Although an ace not necessarily mean the end for the kings, it's definitely not a good sign.
Pocket queens and jacks
Women and girls are exactly between the Big Pairs and small pairs. This makes her hands, which are sometimes extremely difficult to play.
However, they definitely are one of the ten best and most profitable, there is.
In contrast to AA and KK, these two hands could well be folded before the flop. If you sit at a table on which is played very tight and only increased with good hands, a fold of ladies certainly be the right decision when it has already given a raise and a re-raise.
Post-Flop: Was it before the flop too several actions, you have to assume that you are either beaten or even in the best case against AK play. more games, only if the board will improve your hand or show your opponents weakness.
Pocket pairs of tens and lower
Examples: 9 
9 
, 8 
8 
9 , 8 8 Following the philosophy of tight-aggressive game, all these hands are playable, if there is no or have only been a raise, especially when there are multiple callers.
With these hands, you are on a set. If you can not hit a set, you do not share.
Is that clear? No set, no bet. With these hands you have as the objective of taking a set and exclude the pre-flop raiser with his pocket aces.
WARNING: The lower your Pocket pair, the greater the risk that you are in a set over set situation find themselves.
If you get into the situation, the lower to keep two sets, you're lucky if you do not lose your entire stack. Therefore reject many players declined to play twos, threes and fours.
Top pair hands
Examples: A K , K Q
K , K Q Hands like AK, AQ, AJ and KQ can be played profitably. On a loose table these hands are good for a raise when you have position (and it has not already been a raise).
To me these hands to earn money, is attempting to lure an opponent into a trap that has also hit top pair, but with a lower kicker. It is important however to keep it always in mind that with KQ or AJ should pay a little raise.
These hands are dominated by a raise most often, and it can be an expensive proposition in the long run if we got used to pay for it raises.
Suited connectors (and one-suited GAPP)
Examples: 8 9 , 9 J
9 , 9 J Suited connectors are among the potentially most valuable hands in NLHE cash games. Unfortunately, there is often not the case because you miss in most cases, the grandiose flop.
From early position you should fold Connetctors low suited (perhaps even all).
From middle and late position you play these hands with reasonable care. Pay raises no great against a single opponent.
With such hands attempting to use with as little as possible to play big pots. You need good odds to put his money on the line.
Suited Aces
Examples: A 4 , A 9
4 , A 9 Similar to the suited connectors, these hands only suited to play with little investment to large pot.
With such a hand to play not to take the ace and then engaged in a contest to be set. As mentioned above, one would not compete here against an ace, even if one considers himself a little ass.
Does it not at least a draw on the flop (or even better yet, the nuts), one should abandon these hands. It almost never pays to bet on backdoor draws.
All other hands
Examples: 6 9 , 2 7 , K T
9 , 2 7 , K T Simply put, all other hands cost money.
For beginners and even advanced students are hands like Q-Jo or J-To - which look good at first glance - the long term simply expensive.
The worse the hands you play, the harder the situations you have to make after the flop.
For a poker novice is the first civic duty to make as few mistakes as possible. And to achieve that, one should carefully avoid difficult decisions.
The three most common beginner mistakes are:
Play out of position
Play bad starting hands
Playing marginal hands against increases
Play First, only the hands that were recommended in this article. Say goodbye to the weakness of hands if you are still out-of-position, and play against only raises with strong hands or if the odds are given for a draw.
Adhere to these guidelines and you will soon be in the black.
