Beginners Material
This section is for a review of the basics. How to play, hand rankings, basic beginner strategy for tournament Texas Hold'em. Which starting hands are good, which ones you should throw away. What you're looking for in a starting hand, what you're looking for after the flop.
There are no advanced strategy ideas here. Nothing about pot odds, bluffing, calculating outs, etc. You'll have to go to the Strategury and Tools section for that stuff.
Here it is!
- How to Play - the basics from "what's the button to the river"
- Pointers for New Tournament Players - great for a laugh!
- Top 10 Hands - the top 10 starting hands in Texas Hold'em
- Hand Rankings - from Royal flush to high card
- Definitions - what's a turn and why do I care?
Video Tips from the Pros!
