Here are my top techniques on how I play my hands when playing free poker games, poker tournaments, cash games, heads up and sit and go’s.
If poker is a new game or hobby for you then hopefully the tips I can offer will be of great help.
Pocket pairs: Aces the 10s 4 x the big blind. 7s,8s and 9s 2 times the big blind. 6s and lower I just flat call. 4s and under if a big raise is made I fold.
Ace/King to Ace/10 I raise 3x the big blind. Ace/9 and lower I just flat call and depends on the kicker if a raise is made I may just fold. Lower kickers like 2-5 should be folded with a raise made.
I prefer to play mid suited connectors like 7/6 of hearts I’ll play to see a flop no raise just call and if the bet is too high I fold them.
Some people like to play small suited connectors I most of the time don’t like to, but every once in awhile I will depending on gut feeling and how the people are playing.
I will also play connectors i.e: 8/9 off suite for the big blind price.
Now any cards that are more than 5 apart should be folded unless they are face cards.
Any cards that are 3 cards apart ie:7/4 can be played but only at right price and if they are suited.
Cards that are 2 cards apart i.e: 6/4 can be played suited or not for the right price and I never raise with these or call a big raise.
Now this is just how I play these hands, so you don’t have to take any notice of how I do things. As I always say anyone has the right to play any 2 cards the way they want.
free poker games and pay poker is all about playing a game and having fun, so relax and chill out when playing.
