STRATEGY # 5

BASIC

____________________________________

Many players, even professional players, tend to under rate the value of starting hand selection.

Some players do so in the mistaken belief that any hand can improve to win. While this is true, not enough actually do this to make it profitable. Making even a small error in judgement on starting hands is probably the most expensive error in poker as it can hook you into an expensive second best hand.

Sure, we know, sometimes you just get bored, or tired or a little on tilt or whatever. In any event you forget why you play. TO WIN MONEY !!!

So the next time you are tempted to get a little out of line or need a break, take a break, ...it is less expensive.

If you are one of the pros using the Poker-Pro Point System you have probably found it helpful in avoiding this common pitfall and keeping you off tilt.
