Before the flop
One of the biggest mistakes beginners make in playing Texas Holdem poker is to try and play too many hands of cards.

The following are some ideas for recommended starting card hands and if you follow these, this will help you as a beginner poker player.

In early position
Raise with Ace-Ace King-King and Ace-King suited from any position. Call with Ace-King, Ace-Queen suited, King-Queen suited and Queen-Queen, Jack-Jack and 10-10 but fold with everything else.

In middle position
Call with nine-nine, eight-eight, Ace-Jack suited, Ace-ten suited, Queen-Jack suited, Ace-Queen, King-Queen.

In late position
Call with Ace-anycard suited, King-ten suited, Queen-ten suited, Jack-ten suited, Ace-Jack, Ace-ten and small pairs. A stronger hand of cards is needed to call a raise than to make one and if there is a raise before it is your turn to play then you should probably fold.
