Default many hands to play

alright there are many hands to play. i prefer playing suited hands the higher the better and the later the better (table position)(english is not my motherlanguage too -hope you know what i want to tell you)
if iam in late position and the players before dont bet or dont bet to heavy i nearly try to see most of the flops, but if them bet like madand my hand is not to strong i fold it. weak hand in early position i fold most of the time - when i dont bluff !

but the best is to find out your own tactics and read books about poker! -there are some very good!

first of all learn the %.

I highly recommend : Small stakes Hold'em by Miller, Sklansky and Malmuth for limit hold'em. Reasonably in-expensive and they have a series of books if you grow to a more advanced player or play in tournaments.

Otherwise stick to pairs and suited cards in later position until you get the basics down.


Hope this helps.
