I'm a complete beginner at poker, so I'm learning all the basics right from this website's poker strategy section.
I read the poker notation in the introduction, but the
starting hands ranking chart gives me a little trouble: Where does AJs belong to? A8s+ or AJo+?
aj of spades? would be worth more then ace 8 spades or aj offsuit.... ace 8 of spades cannot connect a str8 so you have wayyyy more options with aj of one suit
most important aspect of poker is to know your
hands worth .... starting hands would be a guide but
more important
knowing your opponents range and play style betting style etc...
action to the point of your move
POSITION is next most important aspect
next you have the players behind your action that can raise reraise or shove etc...
next is the cards themselves and an aj on button suited is a lot better
odds if your on button over being in your big blind especially regarding the previous action...
know your hands play some
freerolls watch and learn take notes .... find your playing style.....freerolls are great allowing you to learn and maybe even get some free money as you learn
knowing an opponents range and if they follow position and playing style is more important with position then the actual cards you play.... if you can get in freerolls and play hands that can get in cheaply no raises etc...? that will help a ton on understanding rankings of starting hands imo
