Nancy’s Top 9 Hold ‘em Starting Hands

Posted on November 29th, 2005 by Nancy in Free Gambling, Gambling, Online Gambling, Poker, Texas Holdem Poker

Every poker player has his/her own system when it comes to which cards they’ll play and which they won’t during Texas Hold ‘em tournaments. That said, here are the nine starting hands I love the most:

AA
KK
QQ

These three are nearly invincible. I like to slow-play them, then go all-in and knock out other players. What fun…

JJ
AK suited
TT

Also great hands. I play them strong and try to scare everyone away before that idiot with 2-7 suited catches a flush on the river…

AK off-suit
AQ suited
KQ suited

These can be good hands depending on the flop. As pretty as they are, don’t be afraid to fold them when necessary…

I also think it’s very worthwhile to play lower pocket pairs (9-9, 8-8, 7-7) and things like AJ suited, QJ suited, and JT suited, depending on my position and chip stack. (…Can you tell I play tight?)
