Best Poker Starting Hands & When To Play Them In Holdem
In keeping with the theme in holdem that ’duplicity is king’ it’s important to be able to play a wide range of hands to avoid our opponents being able to accurately guess our hole cards based solely on our play. Whether to play a holdem starting hand like AA, or KK barely need consideration. However limiting ourselves to the ‘top 10% holdem hands’ can often restrict our chances of getting paid off for our big hands. To mix things up a bit, we need to open up our range of hands whilst still being able to make correct decisions once the hand is under way. The question of what makes the best poker starting hands can seem obvious when looking at extremes, such as pocket aces, or 72off. However, when the correct play is less clear, whether to play our starting hand requires consideration of one other important factor…our poker table position.
