How to Play Texas Holdem Poker : Premium Starting Hands in Texas Holdem

[darkokumkd]

Hello there! Have you ever read the ebook How to Shake the Online Poker Money Tree ? I got some very useful tricks from it and now can play like a pro and win all the time now with no nervousness.

I was playing with a woman who had been dealt A-A three times, she played them everytime, and lost twice with them, I hate A-A. Also Ace King high is a very dangerous hand to play, you can lose alot of chips with this hand. Don't commit like this numpty says.

[dovecoteben]

@AwesomeSuperbaws You're completely wrong. With KK or AA you want to get all your chips in pre-flop to avoid someone getting a lucky flop. If you shove with AA and someone calls, they're mostly likely to call with something around AQ+, or QQ+. Against such premium hands, AA is a massive favourite: unless a lower pocket pair hits trips (1/5), they're almost drawing dead, especially if their top card is an A .

this fucker is talking shite!!!!!!

[cristofolon]

why is this guy giving advice if he only played in one free tournament? Shouldn't they get an expert instead of an amateur?

[lhipsher]

So what, in the other video he insists on going all-in pre flop with queens. Sounded bonehead to me when I heard it. This sounds much better, raise big blind and see what others do, possibly mucking the ladies.

Same guy, different strategies to play queens, choose how to play it bro

[Jsavolainen]

lol A-A may go to hell if the flops turns out to give another players 3:s

[Pistolero3]

play with courage? omg DONT LISTEN THIS GUY !!

play tight , taths all u need to know

[CRAZYLOCO54]

nice

[ExtremeStormKiller]

ever thought about 10 9 suited?

[mtavares92]

even ace king offsuit has a 1/4 chance of beating pocket kings...

In fact, I once lost against ace king suited when I had a pair of aces

[estimisav]

yeah right, wanna see you fold aces preflop =)) with kings there is a small chance, but fold aces preflop you can only be an idiot!

[vibonacci]

If u fold AA preflop you can just aswell throw your money in the dish...

when in a bubble situation in a big tournament it is maybe worth to give it a thought

[benitosnake]

i dont think that u have to call with aces all the time pre flop. its not because u have aces that u will win for sur. In fact, all depend the cheaps u have left, and the players in...etc.

[Yamakashi1]

why would u fold aces preflop?

[Yamakashi1]

seriously...

and im askin about the situation he was talkin about specifically , so i dun want other people "explaining" it to me

[pfflyers1]

Pocket Jacks is the hardest preflop hand to bet. Ask 10 pros and you'll get 10 different answers, granted it depend on the situation (position, stack size, opponents, etc.)

[Yamakashi1]

if in a tournament

but if u play in a cash game u almost never fold them preflop, no matter.. well if at a fullring table 8 guys go all in preflop... lol

no ,actually its true ,they are hard to play, harder than the better premium hands ,but if u think ur up against like an overpair (someone reraises you) in a cash game u will always want to stay in that pot and hit a set

[Yamakashi1]

in a tournament they are hard to play ,cuz anyone callin an all in basically has u beat or ur flippin a coin, and if somebody call u ,most of the times he's either slowplayin you or will hit big on the flop or will not call, so u kinda dunno where ur at with jacks

[88Baebae]

Aces never win races

[Yamakashi1]

what races?!

against two other aces?

[BToledo23]

Why would someone fold pocket Rockets preflop? that doesnt make sense to me.

[mattlovell123]

Theres discussion of one type of situation, perhaps where you were playing a tournament that pays the top 9 places all the same amount, and there were 11 players left and say 2 people were all in before you. No risk if you fold.

But realistically, I agree, get those chips in the middle.

[badpanda84]

The only time when folding pockets preflop is if you are playing a satallie and you are on a bubble.. and you have a huge chip lead.

The other time you would fold pockets A's is if you are playing a double thru online and have 2 all-ins behind you

[Yamakashi1]

i dun think you ever wanna fold aces... what are u playing then?

yeah, i get the - pre-bubble strategy

but i think that then is a time to get even more agressive, so even with 1 big blind invested u gotta get them in the middle

[Woodseone]

What was his point of telling his silly lil "free tournament (locally) and someone showed that he folded aces, preflop?!

JJ is almost a premium hand.

omg

This guy is a goob.

[paulio2293]

lol, comit with ace-king suited, thats sheer stupidity. What if someone has AA or KK, that leaves you with fucking 3 outs left, meaning ur drawing almost semi-dead. The big slick is a great hand but should never be overplayed.

[badpanda84]

Agreed,

While AK is a good hand its only 50/50 agasit any pocket pair.

Which is ok if you are shortstack in a tourment but early in the tourment is another story

[Yamakashi1]

of course there's circumstances, but AK at any stage of a TOURNAMENT is a monster

its also less possible that other people have A or K and if somebody has KQ or smth which is also a monster u can get all their chips in the middle on the flop if a King hits

so its a tricky premium hand ,but its a premium hand nonetheless

[deklares1]

hahahaha.... play aces with courage what the fuck courage does it take to play aces your saying it as if your going into battle.

[2007GoingOn1984]

What about if you see 3 hearts on the flop, and you hold King(d) King(s) - would you still play to the end with your cowboys? What about another heart on the turn, against a better in position?

poor advice to tell amateurs to not lay down pocket pairs situationally.

[5wilmci]

Strong, good advice buddy.
