One of the techniques: Basic strategies for Texas Hold'em poker are simple in rules but becoming a master isn't easy. As a Texas Hold'em pro, you should combine luck, confidence, patience, and discipline. A successful Texas Hold'em player should not only master basic attack and defense strategies but also be able to recognize various card tricks of opponents. They should adapt different strategies based on different opponents. Winning every battle depends on understanding both yourself and your enemies. As a Texas Hold'em player, regardless of whether the opponents are weak or strong, you should master the following basic strategies:
1. Stone Face: In actual games, whether you have a good hand or a bad hand, you should keep a straight face. This way, your opponents won't be able to guess your hand based on your behavior and expressions. Otherwise, you're giving your opponents an advantage when betting, which can reduce your chances of winning.
2. High Starting Hands: Avoid starting with two bad cards. If your initial two cards aren't good, fold them without any loss. Only play with good hands. Good hands are those with winning probabilities exceeding 15%. If other players' starting hands aren't high enough, you can have a long-term advantage over them, especially when you can occupy 7% of their advantage, considering the 5% dealer's fee. Know your two cards, and whether you bet or fold depends on the number of players at the table. In general, at a 10-player table, beginners can play the following hands:
- Group 1: AA, KK, QQ, AK (suited), AQ (suited)
- Group 2: JJ, TT, AJ (suited), AT (suited), AK, AQ, KQ (suited)
- Group 3: 99, QJs, KJs, KT (suited)
- Group 4: A8 (suited), KQ, 88, QT (suited), A9 (suited), AT, AJ, JJ, TT
- At a 6-player table, you can play even more hands:
- Group 5: 77, Q9 (suited), KJ, QJ, JJ, TT, A7 (suited), A6 (suited), A5 (suited), A4 (suited), A3 (suited), A2 (suited), J9 (suited), T9 (suited), K9 (suited), KT, QT.
3. Position, Patience, and Strong Hands are Key: The button (D) always receives the last card throughout the game, giving them a positional advantage. Players to the left of the button act first, putting them at a disadvantage. So, the later your position, the later you act, which is an advantage. When you are in an early position, you need a very strong hand to bet because players behind you may raise. If your cards are AA, KK, QQ, or AK (suited or offsuit), you should raise from any position.
4. After the Flop: If you don't have the strongest hand or potential to develop one after the flop, you should consider folding.
5. The Turn: If you believe you have a strong hand, don't hesitate to raise. However, if the player in front of you raises, and you have only a high pair, you should consider folding.
6. The River: Players often make two mistakes: calling obvious losing hands and folding too easily. Folding easily usually leads to bigger losses.
7. Aggressive Play: Raise with strong hands, maintain an advantage, and be proactive. Don't be afraid to raise. When the table has fewer players, it's even more important to raise rather than call.
8. Reading the Board: Carefully read the community cards and observe players' reactions because Texas Hold'em uses five shared cards. Many times, you can guess the type of hand other players can form to determine whether you should bet.
9. Assessing Opponents: Pay attention to what cards opponents play, but don't be deceived by their tricks. Always observe and understand what your opponents are thinking. What do they think you have? Understanding your opponents can give you an edge.
10. Vary Your Play: To confuse your opponents, sometimes change your playing style. Even if your hand isn't great, try to bluff. Wealthy, casual players can be easy to exploit if you find their weaknesses, making Texas Hold'em a highly profitable game.
