Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
Pre - Flop Play
Pre - Flop Play As a general rule, one of the weakest plays in poker is limping in. If you have a hand worth playing, it is best to raise with it. By raising, you cut down on the field and more important, you take control of the hand.
Most of the time a player's hand
Most of the time a player's hand will not improve on the flop. A player will make a pair on the flop around 30% of the time.
