Pokertips for Texas Holdem

Starting Hands

One of the most important skills in Limit Texas Hold'em is to be very selective about what starting hands you choose to play.

Flop Play

The flop is a defining moment in Texas Hold'em as five out of seven possible cards are seen. The flop is the key to whether you want to continue or dispose of your hand.

Basic Strategy

Limit Texas Hold'em can prove deceptive to less skilled players. A false notion held amongst players is that you can simply sit and call down the hands whenever you have pot odds, without taking much notice of your opponents.

Trapping Hands

A very common mistake for beginner/intermediate players is to play any two big cards or any Ace from an early position and call raises with the same type of hand. This is one of the biggest mistakes a player can make as these hands so easily become trap hands.
