You might get lucky on the flop and flop a set. Even bet on pocket deuces and pocket threes.<br /></li><li> Bet if you have two cards of the same suit in your starting hand. You'll have a better chance of making a flush.<br /></li><li> Never throw away an ace<br /></li><li> Play any face card with a seven or higher. (Q8, J9, A7)<br /></li><li> Fold if you have two cards of 6 or less offsuit. Suited is ok.<br /></li><li> Fold if you have an offsuit with a deuce.<br /></li></ol><br /><br /><a name="Tips"></a><h2> Tips </h2><br /><ul><li>Let's say you flopped a pair of fives. The flop is king, nine, five. The turn is an Ace. You might want to fold because you don't have a great chance of winning with monster cards out there.<br /></li><li>Even if you have nothing to the turn, large bets and bluffs can cause your opponent to fold, even if they have the best hand.<br /></li><li>If you flop an open-end straight or open-end flush draw, most things happen on the turn. That's why it's called the turn, because most action is this card.<br /></li><li>One way I know I can make a straight is to (if you don't have a face card) subtract the lower card number from the higher card number. If the difference is four, you can make a straight with 3 more cards. (10-6=4 can; 8-5=3 can't)<br /></li></ul><br /><br /><a name="Warnings"></a><h2> Warnings </h2><br /><ul><li>Unless you have pocket queens or higher don't go all in right of the bat. Your opponents could flop a set or triples and you would lose if your cards don't come up.<br /></li><li>Unless you're a dunce, you should all know to conceal your cards so that your opponents can't cheat or see.<br /></li><li>Don't make a face that says, "I have a great starting hand!", almost everybody reads your face and then folds.<br /></li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6959509629256382175-7525965721466367875?l=knowwhentoholdempoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mike Jonesnoreply@blogger.com0
