One of the biggest difficulties that I encountered when I first got into Texas hold’em was figuring out what cards to play in what Position. Often I would get burned on a hand that I thought was a excellent starting hand. Come to find out they were excellent hands, just not in the position I was wagering them from. Here is a pretty basic list of what kind of hands to bet on and what placement it’s suitable to play them in. Bear in mind this chart doesn’t factor in raises or suits.

If you are just beginning to play poker, wagering these hands at the suggested positions will aid you always be in a safe location prior to the flop. As your casino game progresses, you’ll be able to add more hands to this list and know how to bet on them in particular situations.

Poker web sites are nice because you have to see a lot of much more hands per hour than you do at household. Some goods websites to bet on for free of charge are UltimateBet and PartyPoker.com.
