For my mom

This is for players just starting off in the game or for people who just do not know poker "by the book".
What beats what? Starting from best hand to worst.

Which pockets cards should be played?
any time these cards can be played. A-A, K-K, Q-Q, J-J, 10-10, 9-9, 8-8, 7-7
suited cards played any time. A-K, A-Q, A-J, A-10, K-Q, K-J, K-10, Q-J, Q-10, J-10,
J-9, 10-9
Un-suited cards played at anytime. A-K, A-Q, A-J, K-Q, K-J

Those pocket cards can be played in any position. This does not mean go all in or call an all in just because these cards are in your hand. Raise pre-flop. Bet the flop to test your hand strength. And for goodness sake if you are bluffing and your opponent re rasises you. fold. Now my game differs. Some of those hands I will not play. Depending on the game type. I did not go over playable hands in Middle and Late position. Just any hand, any time. This should help get your game started till you can get your own strategy into play. Remember if they see you playing tight then it might be easier to pull off a bluff.
