Texas Holdem Tips

In addition to advising a player to fold, bet, raise, or simply stay in the game, a good Texas Holdem strategy should also teach players about picking up on bluffs and knowing when to bluff for themselves. Aside from bluffing, the following information is designed to help guide players make decisions that will ultimately help them beat the rake, play more games, and win pots more often.  Playing smart poker calls for one to take a look at the big picture, rather than just a single day of playing games.  Just like in actual war, which is in essence, what you are doing at the poker table with other players, you need to be prepared to take both wins and losses, and to bounce back at a later time to keep on charging forward.

For more information on bluffing and beating the rake, please visit those independent pages listed on our website (in the left-hand navigation menu).  For a good strategy that will guide you in making decisions whether to fold, memorize the two tips below.  They are fashioned in a way that is accommodating for a generally tight hand - but one that knows when to be aggressive too.  These tips essentially guide players to recognize situations that warrant a fold before the Flop, and staying in the game after the Flop:

  • Fold before the Flop if you are holding anything other than a suited Face Card/Ten, any Pair greater than 7, Face Card/Face Card, Face Card/Ace, or 10/Ace.  As for pairs lower than 7, use discretion depending on you seat position.  If you are last, and all players act non-aggressively, stay in for the Flop.

  • Stay in after the Flop if only if you find yourself holding a High Pair (Tens, Face Cards or Aces), or with at least four cards having the possibility of becoming a Straight or better.
