TIP 4 PLAYING TIGHT.

People are constantly talking about hand selection, pre-flop, post-flop, turn and river odds.
I used to be a very aggressive player it found it hard to play tight, i guess iliked the action
a bit too much. Then i started thinking about the number of hands which you can actually get
to start off with, and most of them will lose you money.

Below i have listed all, yes all 92 of them, all the starting hands in Texas Holdem.

87. 4 4
88. 4 3
89. 4 2
90. 3 3
91. 3 2
92. 2 2

This list helps me make decisions whilst playing. Obviously there are more
hands if u include suits, but generally this is imprtant.
for example i can work out quickly
if i recon someone has a king or not. e.g there was 13 hands out of 92
where someone could have a king.

Also helps you play tight knowing this stuff like I know i will get a
premium hand, dpending on what u define as a premium hand 7 or 8 times in 92 hands.

Or a pocket pair 13 times out of 92.

Scroll down the list look how many crap hands there are. there are very few actual good hands, and this can emphasize why u shud play high cards heads up etc.

im sure this will help some people
however (just to be picky here) you need to specify suited and not suited. For example, is so much stronger than

Is that listed in the order of strength or just the combinations youll see?

Bit in bold for Fonz's benefit.

The Ace lower 2345 I like playing less than the higher connectors though,just a preference I guess.

You have 72 as a better hand than 22. 72 is definitely not as good as 22. This list isn't really strength, but just highest to lowest. Obviously 22 is lower than 72, but it is stronger. Nice list though. It is helpful to be able to look at a visual of the hands instead of just thinking about them.
