Brief tips: Texas Hold'em Strategy

Hold'em is a high card game, which means that if you are holding two good high cards you have a good chance at the best hand or a draw to the best hand after the flop.

Only play strong hands, which will stand one or more raises from early betting positions.

Play medium strength and other playable hands from the later positions if you have a good chance of seeing the flop at a reasonable price.

Play strong high hands most of the time, and play them aggressively, taking all the raises you can get.

You need to thin out the competition, or you will reduce your chances of winning and your aggressive play before the flop can add credibility to any strong play you might want to use on the next round if a weak flop occurs and you want to try a steal.

Prepare to fold a high pair if you get a lot of action with a strong flop.
