Pre-Flop Strategies

One of the most seen mistakes made by beginners is that they play too many hands. When a table consists of decent players, you'll see roughly 2 or 3 players in each hand. This means that the actual percentage of players seeing the flop lays somewhere between 20% and 30%.

To avoid playing too many hands, it's wise to know the real strength of the different starting hands. Besides, you should also know each table position.

That's poker!

You've probably seen someone saying: "That's Poker!" That usually happens after someone has suffered a suck out. A person saying something like that knows that he would have made the hand most of the times, and doesn't care about his occasional bad beats.

Playing profitable poker is all about the long run. Any two cards can win, true, but overall a good hand will win on more occasions than a bad hand.
