Here's a quick guide to the ten best Texas Hold'em starting
poker hands. If you start with any of these ten hands during Texas Hold'em, you
are in excellent shape.
| 1. Ace-Ace |
This is the best
Hold'em poker hand you can hope to have. It's the best of the
best, and will win more than any other hand. Also known as
American Airlines, pocket rockets, and bullets. |
|
2. King-King |
This 2nd-best
hold'em hand is still incredibly strong and will win you a
good chunk of change. Two kings, or "cowboys" are only
dominated by aces. |
|
3. Queen-Queen |
Two queens, or
"ladies" are a very good hand. Sure, kings and aces will beat
you, but you've got the upper hand on jacks and below. |
|
4. Ace-King |
Ace-king is a strong but tricky
hand. It is the strongest of the drawing hands, but the flop
needs to work with you to give you a pair of aces or kings
for it to really pay off. Suited it is slightly stronger than
unsuited, as then you can also make the nut flush much more
easily.
|
|
5. Jack-Jack |
A pair of jacks,
ten-handed, will win almost 20% of the time. If the flop
shows a queen, king, or ace, watch out, but otherwise, it's
smooth sailing. |
|
6. Ace-Queen |
Ace-queen is the
second best drawing hand, and when suited, will win about 20%
of the time as well. |
|
7. King-Queen |
King-queen,
especially suited, is a great drawing hand that is only
afraid of an Ace falling on the board. |
|
8. Ace-Jack |
Ace-jack is
another great drawing hand. Suited is always better here, but
unsuited is still playable. |
|
9. King-Jack |
King-jack,
especially in later positions, is a fine hand to play, but
can be beat by any of the hands listed above and should be
folded to big raises. Statistically, suited it will win just
under 19% of the time, but unsuited that drops to just 15%. |
|
10. Ace-Ten |
Ace-ten is still a
good hand -- you've got the ace, and can make a straight if
the miracle J-Q-K falls on the board. But be wary of playing
it too strong, especially unsuited, as if all you end up with
is a pair of aces, you may be out-kicked. |
