Strategy

1. For a 2/5 game you should bring a minimum of $80 and for a 5/10 game bring at least $200.
2. To succeed in Texas Hold'em, you can check-call a bet on the turn with that kind of hand, unless the board looks threatening.
3. Deuces Wild poker - Some players are reluctant to throw away five cards, but that is a most important strategy; you want to make room for additional card(s) that could be a deuce(s), and holding that ace or king is not going to help you if the next hand coming up could be four or five sevens.
4. When participating in tournament poker, the best strategy is to play only solid starting hands.
5. You need to know if the players you try to bluff are tight, loose or like to take risks. Whether they are new to the game of poker or are experienced poker players.
