A lot of poker communities and poker pros put together the table of the best starting hands in poker which leads to success in poker. Almost all of them made the same table with little differences. I will show you the one that Poker Strategy community put together witch lead a lot of players to a successful poker player. Please note that even if you play correct by all the rules, you can still loose because the most important factor in poker still remains the luck.
How to play your cards correctly before the flop:
J=(Jack) Q=(Queen)K=(king) A=(Ace)
The positions in poker:
If nobody raised before you:
Early Position: JJ+
Middle position:99+ ,AK,AQ
(Late Position):77+,AK,AQ,AJ,KQ
If somebody raised after or before you:
If 1 opponent raised before you: jj+,AK
If 2 opponent raised before you: KK+
If raised after you:1010+,AK
A lot of tests and games proves that this strategy works and a lot of players uses it and win using this strategy on a long term. It’s not an obligation to play by these rules, because nobody can tell you how to play your card, although i strongly recommend to use it.
Poker software’s that help you improve your game
In live games it’s much easier to read you opponents, but in online poker it’s different it is much harder to read your opponents.
In live games you face a maximum of 10 players at a table and you see their faces constantly. In online poker you face a big problem, specially at big poker rooms with players 30000+ it is possible that over 1000 players plays the same limit as you do at the same time. You will never be able to remember the game stile of a specific player. This is why i suggest you to use poker software’s
