Starting Hands

Hi all

As you become better at poker you will play by feel and know when to limp when to check raise when to fold etc, but as a beginner it you will be a fish- you will see too many hands and stay with them too long.

This is the way of things with Poker and it is why all new players lose money.

Although I believe most money is made post flop the first and most important leak all new players should fix is there starting hand selection.

Now most poker books will advocate a tight selection, which is fine if you want to be a "weak tight" player. You will make money-just you will never move up and you will never make a lot.



When I first started out I read a lot of books and finally made the following crib sheet for starting hands - I printed it out and referred tit constantly. Tell me what you think.o
