Strategy & Tips » Holdem Starting Hands

Texas Holdem Starting Hands Offers Clue Of Winning:
When sitting in on a game of Texas Holdem, the first two cards you are dealt along with the three face up on the table should give you a pretty good clue of whether or not you have a chance of ending the hand a winner. Beginning players will want to stay in a hand only if their holdem starting hands are a pair, higher than an eight or two consecutively numbered cards of the same suit. Any pair of cards below an eight would not be considered as good holdem starting hands and the you should fold, keeping your money for the next hand.

Ideally, a pair of aces, kings, queens and so on would be considered good holdem starting hands and you can let the bidding begin. Remember, the first to players to the dealer’s left in every hand has the first option to bid and unless one of the cards in the middle matches your two hole cards, there may be serious competition later in the hand.

Understand that in any game of poker you will win some hands and lose others. In Texas Holdem, your starting hands can give a clear indication of what is coming and by dropping out quickly with a bad hand, you can reduce the amount of money lost while staying in on other hands to post some winnings.
