Which hands are worth playing in no-limit Texas hold’em? Start tight, then open up as you learn position.
High card combinations, e.g…
Small pairs can win big if they make a set (three of a kind) with a board card, but they’ll only flop a set 1 in 8 times, so don’t get carried away.
Connected cards are next to each other in rank; suited means the same suit. Their strength is making a straight or a flush. Once the flop comes you’ll know whether to stay in.
Like suited connectors but not quite as strong: there’s a gap between the two ranks.
It’s usually best to play only strong hands from early position, as one of the first players to act in each betting round.
