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.

But what one must remember is that there are also many low starting hands that cannot develop into two-way hands and should be folded as quickly as a starting high hand. Starting hands such as 7-3-2-K-5 and 6-6-4-3-Q with no flush possibilities should be folded, since their chances of a scoop both ways are quite remote.
Another important thing to remember is that whenever you catch a "paint" (jack, queen or king) as your fourth card and you are holding an average three-card low starting hand—fold, don't hesitate.
