Hand Groupings..... David sklansky origionaly invented the hand grouping sytle. Below are what he has put into groups. Best hands going down, the blow hands are all said to be hands that you should feel comfortable playing. I personally would fold some of the hands below group 5 but that is my style of play. Group 0: AA KK
Group 1: QQ JJ AKs
Group 2: TT AK AQs AJs KQs
Group 3: AQ 99 ATs KJs QJs KTs
Group 4: 88 AJ KQ QTs A9s JTs AT A8s
Group 5: KJ 77 QJ KT QT JT A7s K9s Q9s T9s J9s
Group 6: 66 55 44 33 22 A5s A6s A4s A3s A2s
Group 7: A9 K9 98s 87s 76s Kxs(?) T8s(?) 97s(?) 86s(?) 54s(?)
(?) Denotes play depending on weakness/strength of table and players, late/button position, number of limpers. |
