One of the largest complications that I encountered when I first got into Hold’em was figuring out what cards to bet on in what Position. Typically I would obtain burned on a hand that I thought was a great starting hand. Come to find out they were good hands, just not in the position I was wagering them from. Here is really a pretty basic list of what sort of hands to bet on and what position it’s suitable to play them in. Bear in mind this chart doesn’t factor in raises or suits.
Bet on From Any Position
AA King, King QQ JJ Ten, Ten Nine, Nine Eight, Eight Ace, King Ace, Queen AJ AT KQ KJ
Bet on Mid to Late Placement
Six, Six 55 King, Ten QJ QT Jack Ten
Bet on in Late Location Only
Ace, Nine A8 A7 King, Nine King, Eight Q9 J9 Jack, Eight T9 Ten, Eight 98 97
If you are just beginning to play poker, playing these hands at the suggested positions will help you often be in a safe location prior to the flop. As your game progresses, you will be able to add a lot more hands to this list and know how to bet on them in specific situations. For anyone who is just beginning to bet on cards, I would suggest wagering for nickels and dimes at house or for free of charge at a web based poker website. Poker sites are nice because you get to see quite a few more hands per hour than you do at household. Several goods websites to bet on for free of charge are UltimateBet and PartyPoker.com.
