To master poker and make it profitable, you must first master
patience and discipline, as a lack of either is a sure
disaster regardless of all other talents, or lucky streaks.)

Starting hand Strategy.
This is one of the most important parts of becoming a
winning texas hold em player. Most people overlook how
important selecting starting hands is, I can assure you that
being selective of the hands you play is VERY important!

Choosing if you play a hand or not is the first decision you
make at the poker table every time a new hand is dealt.
since you don’t have to play every hand you get, this is why
poker is different than blackjack, you decide what you want to
play.Since you have a choice you must choose wisely.

Deciding what starting hands you play can be hard sometimes,
a lot of good players can get board or angry and play hands
that they know they shouldn’t. This is why I like Online
Poker, I can watch TV, Read a book, or play a few games at one
time. This is the way I prevent becoming board and playing bad
hands, you should think about doing this too.

Most playable hands can be placed in groups related to their
value. Every hand in the same group has approximately the
same value as the other hands in that group. Here are the 4
top groups,

Group #1: AA, KK, QQ, AKs*, AQs
Group #2: JJ, 1010, AJs, KQs, AK
Group #3: A10s, KJs, QJs, J10s, AQ
Group #4: 99, 88, K10s, Q10s, J9s, 109s, 98s, AJ, KQ

"s" Represents "suited"

Other hands that may be playable are:
1.Small Pocket Pairs, Usually you just want to see a flop with
these hands. If you don’t make 3 of a kind you fold them.
2. Suited aces, An example would be Ace of spades and 8 of
spades. For the most part you are just playing to hit a
flush.
3. Hands that add up to 20 or 21, This could be hands like A9,
J10, A10. Even if there not suited.
