Poker Riches

No limit hold’em is a tough game for the newcomer. The ability to bet any amount at any time creates incredible strategic depth and complexity which simply cannot be mastered in a short time. Fortunately, even for a total beginner, a simple tight and patient strategy should be enough to beat most no limit hold’em games.

The first tip involves the buy-in when you sit down to the table. As a beginner you would be best served to buy-in for the minimum allowed amount, usually between ten and forty times the big blind (BB). Buying in for the minimum allows you to get more of your stack in before the flop or on the flop, where you can have the biggest advantage by simply playing tightly.

Preflop you should be looking to play the biggest hands, usually ace king, ace queen, and high (AA,KK,QQ) pocket pairs. With ace king, ace queen, and a pair of queens or higher before the flop, raise to four times the big blind if no one has raised before you. The amount you raise should vary, so raise three times the big blind with a Ace King and maybe raise four to five times with it later on. You don’t want to always raise the same amount because good players will catch on to you. If it has been raised before it is your turn, and you hold a high pocket pair I would re raise. How much? It all depends on his bet, pot size, stack size, position, and who’s left to act behind you. If your stack is thirty big blinds or more fold two tens and ace queen. Finally if you can play your hand for the minimum bet preflop you can also call with twos through nines.

On the flop evaluate your hand. If you have top pair, an overpair (pair in your hand is higher than the top card), or a set (pair in your hand matches a card on the board), bet the size of the pot and raise the size of the pot agianst all bets until you are all in. If you have second pair or an overpair to the second highest card, bet all in if your stack is less than twice the pot, otherwise check and fold. Finally if at any point it is your turn to act and you have less than 125% of the pot size remaining, bet all-in regardless of whether you connected with the flop or not.

This is a very simplistic strategy designed only for beginners to no limit hold’em, but it should work well as long as you stick to the hand suggested and don’t let your stack size get too large compared to the blinds. If you double up such that your stack is fifty times the big blind or more you you may want to consider leaving the table for another game. Good luck and win big at the tables
