Read More... Many poker experts and players will tell you that a tight and aggressive strategy is the
only way to play Texas Hold’em. This involves playing relatively few hands and betting and raising
often when you do play.
This strategy, however, will only work if you understand hand-ranking. There are 1,326 distinct
possibilities when it comes to the two hole cards a player can be dealt in Texas Hold’em. However,
since suits are only relevant for flushes, many of these possibilities are irrelevant. So, that reduced
the number of possibilities a player needs to know about to 169 possibilities.
One type of hand to get to know is a pocket pair or a wired pair. This is when you are dealt two of any
card. For instance, two jacks, two aces, or two nines.
The hands which are not pocket pairs are either suited hands or unsuited hands. Suited hands are
two cards of the same suit and unsuited hands are two cards of different suits. For instance a suited
pocket might be an ace and a seven of spaces and an unsuited pair might be an ace of hearts and
a seven of diamonds.
Generally, the higher the cards in the pocket and whether they are paired or suited increases the
hand ranking. However, sometimes even a highly ranked pocket can turn into nothing after the flop,
turn or river.
Some professional players are successful using other strategies as well. While most experts insist
on only playing premium starting hands, others suggest a looser betting strategy. Ultimately, this is
up to the player.
While some experts disagree on betting strategy, most agree that position is an important element
of the game. Players who act later in a hand, have more information than those who act earlier. As a
result, players often play fewer hands from earlier positions and more from later positions. This
does have a disadvantage since a person’s opponents can gain clues to his or her hand based
upon the bets made after the flop, the turn and the river.
Those who play no-limit or fixed limit version of hold’em, play different strategically, and many
players who excel at one, do not excel at the other. For instance, because of the limit placed on
betting in limit games, players cannot bluff as successfully. And in no-limit poker, new players often
lack the courage to make the larger bets.
Strategy can also vary between games with lower stakes and games with higher stakes. Small
stakes games usually have more players participating in each hand and can have very passive
playing strategies or very aggressive raising strategies, compared to high stakes games, which are
more stable.
