PRE FLOP HAND RANKINGS IN TEXAS HOLDEM


There are as many opinions on which is the 'best starting hands in Texas Holdem as there are different players. Rankings will change with your position relative to the button and the type of poker game you are playing, loose or tight. The pre flop rankings below are a good starting point to develop your own personal rankings and should be used as a guide and starting point. Your own style of play and that of the others at the table will determine what is best for you.


The top starting hands
   Ace-Ace
   King-King
   Ace-King suited
   Queen-Queen
   Jack-Jack

Very strong starting hands
   Ace-Queen, Ace-Jack, Ace-10 all suited
   Ace-King
   King-Queen suited
   10-10
   Ace-10, King-Jack, Queen-Jack, Jack-10 all suited
   Ace-Queen, Ace-Jack
   9-9
   King-Queen
   King-10, Queen-10 suited

Playable in most positions in a looser game
   8-8
   Jack-9 10-9 both suited
   7-7
   9-8,8-7 both suited
   Ace with any other suited card
   King-Jack, Queen-Jack, Jack-10

Decent hands best played sparingly and in a late position in a loose game if your playing 'personality' will allow it
  Any low pair (e.g. pairs below 7)
  Connected suited cards, ie 8-7,5-4,4-3
  Ace-10, King-10, Queen-10
  King-9, Jack-8 suited

Hands not on the list are should be folded and only played where you have an obvious advantage over the other players.
For example: You are playing in the late position relative to the button with no callers on the blinds or against known weaker players.
