Often the suggestion given is to play only premium starting hands as below
http://www.pokerlistings.com/strategy/how-not-to-suck-at-poker-play-fewer-hands
That shows top 15 hands which come to a total of around 100 possible hand combinations.
We have a total of 52*51 = 2652 total hands possible. If we just play these 100, that is 3.7% of the hands. On a 9 people table, that is exactly one hand in 3 full rounds (total 27 hands seen).
- This is a long wait; Is it really practically possible to play this patiently?
- Are we expected to fold every other hand or can we check and see other hands?
