What are the most basic hands to stay with?
The first challenge you face in a hand, is what to do with these pre-flop cards. Do you stay, fold, call, raise? The answer has many variables. It changes based on where you are in relation to the dealer; that is, are you “early,” “late,” or in the middle? It also varies as you get to know the players at the table. Have the really good players checked, raised or folded?
Let’s start with the best hands to stay with: A pair of 8’s or better, AK, AQ. You can stay with these at any point on the table. Although, if you are in a late position, and several other players have stayed or raised, you might second-think the less valuable of those hands. Also, if you are later in the table, and no one has stayed except the blinds, you can consider staying with even lower pre-flop hands, but be quick to fold if you get a lot of raising.
