Poker 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
Pocket Aces will hold up
Pocket Aces will hold up against just one holdem player about 80 to 90% of the time. The odds of being out flopped is even smaller. However, the odds of winning drop about 10% for every additional holdem player that is in the hand. If 4 other online players see the flop, you will have only about a 50 / 50 chance of your pocket Aces of holding up.
I do not like to limp in with Aces
I do not like to limp in with Aces in any seat position. Many online players like to limp in, in early position, in hopes that someone else will raise, so they can either re - raise or try to trap.
