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.

Once the flop has dropped, there are two things you need to be aware of in every pot in which you're involved. First, how much money is in the pot and do the odds against your winning the pot warrant your bet? Second, who, if anyone, has raised and how many players behind you are still to act?
Probably the most important thing to remember in Hold Em is that it is a seven-card game, and after the flop two cards are still to come. That's where luck takes over.
