Ok folks here is a lesson for all amatuers, starting hands. If your new stick to these six hands: AA, KK, QQ, AK suited, AK off suit, and AQ suited. Odd list for you guys huh? Youre thinking why not JJ or any pairs even for cheap or even AJ, A10, and so on. One word: Domination! Heres a big picture to paint on my hand selection section here. Say your playing at a 9 handed tournament table early on in a tournament and your dealt AA on the button. You raise 4x BB(big blind) and a guy re-raises you. Do you know where you stand? Yes you do because you have the best hand possible pre-flop. Now sub in a hand like A9 suited or off dont matter. You raise and he re-raises where do you stand? Think about all the hands that can re-raise. AA(unlikely but not improbable), KK, QQ even JJ, or something like AK, AQ, or possibly AJ depends on the type of player. Also early on in a tournament small blind levels like to entice players to play sub par hands for a call that can cost them alot of chips if they make a dominated hand like top pair and low kicker or a middle pair with one overcard. Stay with those hands until the fourth or fifth level of blinds open up to smaller pair and and suited connectors higher than 8,9 suited. Later on into higher blinds gotta open up to Ax and smaller suited connectors. Adapt this to your tournament style and you should last longer than the first blind level.
