Texas holdem poker is played with the presence of 2 to 10 players per table. By cons at major tournaments, there is a much larger number of players who wish to participate in the game and they are divided on tables of 10 players maximum. The party may not begin until all players has drawn a map: he who holds the highest card that is known dealer (dealer in French) or button. In online poker, the distribution of cards is automated.

The dealer deals the cards to all players and decide which is the player who will build first, ie the player who is on his left. The word then follows the direction of clockwise.

To facilitate our beginnings in poker, we present various tables below: they facilitate our learning to learn to play our starting hands in different ways: in particular our position, if it occurs first (“first call”) if several players are entered without restarting (limpers) or if a player has raised (raiser).

You will have no trouble finding examples of these paintings in books on poker strategy and those outlined here are taken from Mastering No-Limit Hold’em Rusell Fox and Scott T. Hacker.

In this first picture, it is explained to us by example that we should raise (raise) with AA and KK, which is involved in the first (first speech), there is a limp in the hand (a player participating in the pot by simply follow the “call”, without restarting “raise”) or a player is revived (1 raiser). But we will opt to follow-up (call) with AQ and pairs 99-22 (in some cases, even decide to fold ‘fold’).

In the following four tables, it makes us once will not hurt, to be circumspect, for you will find that you can bet without taking into account the position or the number of players in the pot only if you hold AA and KK. You will be surprised to see that even possession of QQ and AK especially, it will force us to play in equalizing (follow up). Ultimately, poker, he must admit the deficiency of small and medium pairs, as well as those of the hands which are given values often too large as QA.

What is a freeroll?

Freeroll tournaments are a necessary who wants to be prepared on a bankroll of the non-existent. They represent an ideal opportunity to capture the tournament and the most interesting aspect, namely to generate gains particularly remunerative. But there is a significant hazard: these tournaments are ruthless. Follow our advice: work out a strategy unstoppable and keep your self-control when you start a game.
What is a freeroll?

Many players opt for participation in freeroll tournaments, because they know they can collect significant gains even if they have nothing. The freerolls are very popular, resulting in no entry fee. However, every situation has its downside: the participants are extremely numerous, you will need to be persistent if you want to win these tournaments. Still, remember that the bad players will also be present, according to the hypothetical nature of these tournaments, you will probably find it difficult to find your brand from a plethora of bad-beats. These tournaments are very trainers and enrich your knowledge, including learning to collect substantial profits, even if you have nothing to start. To get results and win, take the time to read the basic rules below.
Why play freerolls?

Because freerolls appeal to low-level players, remember that these freerolls do not want competitors to improve their playing technique or those who seek to distract playing. Only the prize pool is noteworthy. Know that in general, you do not receive a freeroll winnings. By cons, it is not uncommon for them to provide opportunities for participation in tournaments where the stakes are much more inspiring.

You will meet the players following categories:

- The player who cares little tournament

- The player who does not know of any poker rules

A freeroll is an opportunity for poker players to free themselves from constraints of the game, so do not expect you to look at the beautiful poker.

Playing in the first phase of a tournament freeroll:

Pre-flop:

During this period, you will have difficulty to put your opponents, with raises standards. It is not clear either that you managed to position yourself with a very good hand against a flop. Therefore, I recommend you do all in with your “monsters” at this stage of the game And this, whatever your position with AA, AK, KK, QQ, even if a recovery was made before you.

In middle and late position, you will have the opportunity of adding AQ and JJ hands selected for the all-in, if one has raised before your turn.

End of speech: you can paste (limp: pay only the big blind) with small pairs, and with connectors (similar color maps that follow).

Flop:

If you have not cashed, lie. Two pair or better, carpet!

If the pot is important and if you hold a straight flush draw or bilaterally (both sides), carpet!

With top pair (the highest card in your hand and the flop), if you have two opponents in front of you only (or one course), carpet! By cons, if more than two, be on your guard and bid with caution.

The late phase:

On this phase (it starts when players own an average of 20-25 blinds) before the flop strategy is easy, namely raise or throw. If an opponent stimulus before or after you and your hand is strong, send the carpet!

Beware of rugs: arrange to have strong cards against them, because otherwise, they might send their stack in turn.

Be careful if you are also facing big stack which you would be able to eliminate from the tournament. Follow our advice and abstain from playing against them, except of course if you are in possession of a very beautiful game

Do not go for a go useless, save your chips.

Pre-flop:

In early position, run by four big blinds, with your strong hands AA, KK, QQ, JJ, and AK. If it is you who are raised, send your rug.

Three times if you hold the big blind with AQ, AJ, in the event that you are able to re-raised or made rug, throw. It will be the same if you consider the amount of carpet is too large or if you notice that among the players, one or several of them have ente set before you.

In middle position, you can add 99 and 10 for the pair if you are able allin reraised.

So remember: in pre-flop, I raise with all his hands and, depending on the position, carpet, if I restarted.

AQ, AJ in cases of su-raise, I fold.

On the flop:

Here on this flop hands s’arbitrent: indeed, the pot is often important, and we can not change your mind, if one has too much invested.

If you raised pre-flop and if you do you confront only one opponent, you can hire half the pot.

If you are able to re-raise, all in with top pair or more, it’s the same with a flush draw.

Repeat the same manner, if you have seen nothing, but if you’re in possession of two cards of a value lying above the board (community cards table) what is often known for overcards.

The long awaited moment has arrived: the final table!

Finals:

Be happy when you reach that stage, as you say that this is not systematic in each party. In this case, calculate the number of freeroll made, not forgetting those who helped you arrive at the final table.

Keep the same behavior when you play in the final phase that you take when you are in late phase.

However, in the final phase, focus on your particular positron table: put every effort to enter pots when no one has done before you recovery. By making the first move (bet), you’ll often get the chance to collect the bet.

Consider with regard to re-launch early and mid-table remember that they are often in possession of a hand while moving.

If this happens with a raise in early position and when you hold AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AK, place mats.

In mid-table, do the same by adding AQ, 99 and pocket 10.

If someone does recovery before you:

In early position and middle position, make a rug from pocket 9, AK, AQ, AJ.

In late position, make a rug from pair 7 and add KQ.

I hope that all the information you have been helpful to participate, and of course, win in a freeroll.

The top three: the three best starting hands

You can play in choosing either one of the existing positions. They fully justify their reputation for invincibility: they n’appréhendent not on-raises and are particularly dangerous facing a single opponent. They correspond respectively to the sweet names of America, Airlines, King Kong and the Hilton sisters.

From the 4th to the 6th best starting hand

The fifth hand is Ace-King of the same color. Only AA can exert power balance on the hand. It is almost inevitable that you’re having difficulties playing this card: it may be right for your vigilance on the flop. Make no mistake: this is a prominent policy tool that can quickly lead you to the all-in (bet all his chip stack).

The pair of Jacks is in fourth position and the pair of Ten is in 6th position. Beware of these two hands: one can often come top card of the flop.

From the 7th to the 9th starting hand

AK, AQ of the same color and Ace-Jack of the same color. These are high cards. However, stay alert, because the hand Ace-Jack can often be enslaved: This occurs especially when an ace is placed on the table and if your second card acts as an arbitrator.

From the tenth to the fifteenth starting hand

The pairs of Nine, Seven and Eight, Ten Have Similar, Ace-Jack and AQ offsuit. Do not hesitate: you can either play all of these hands. But a tip: do not let the auction go too high before the flop. If you see a disproportionate increase, do not hesitate to get rid of those hands that can quickly be exceeded by the above hands.

The suites connected (more connectors)

Suited connectors such as 7 and 8 of the same color are not a bargaining chip before the flop very interesting … However, if it is to you an advantage, the situation could turn much to your advantage vis-à-vis your opponents may be holding high cards. If you manage to realize these hands, at the time of slaughter of cards, your opponents will not feel good at all! Make the investment cheaper, but cons do not hesitate to have many enemies for the sake of efficiency.

The latest mandatory “blind” The forced bets, called “Blind” “give the possibility to start the game the” Small Blind “is considered a mandatory bet made by the first player to the left of the dealer, and the” big blind “that made by the next player. The “big blind”, in principle, a value equivalent to twice the “small blind”, but know that at the start of the game, the small blind can have a value equivalent to that of the big blind. During the course of a poker tournament online or on site at an advanced level of play is used to Ante. This is a mandatory that all players on a table are required to achieve, and before the cards are dealt by the donor. You could call it a kind of right cards. Auctions poker Bids in poker are the equivalent of announcing that the players put their opponents when it is their turn to speak. In his turn, each player can: – Fold or Fold “abandon. – Skip or “Check”: do not bet and continue playing. – Pay or “Call” to match the previous auction of the players to continue playing. – Bid now or “Bet” wager a bid to force players to lie down or follow you. – Raise or Raise or “Raise: Raising a bid higher than that of other participants. In most cases, players with a good combination of cards operate to increase raises the stakes. Those who are indifferent will simply follow the game of their predecessors. Players who assess at the outset that the value of their hand does not allow them to play in good conditions leave the party to limit their financial loss. Then it is up to each player to decide whether or not Bluffing: this is to increase the bet that your opponents think you have a good hand, even if it is false: in this case, we just hope that other players will be scared and prefer to sleep. The goal of a poker game is to win the set of players by forcing them to lie or have the best 5 cards at the end of rounds. A poker hand is going in 5 steps, punctuated by rounds of betting in which each player in turn may say Check (Word), Call (Pay), Raise (Raise) or Fold (to Rest). 1 – Distribution maps Before the cards are dealt, the two players to the left of the dealer (the dealer) must put blinds called “armored”. The first player placing the small blind, equal to half that of the big blind bets the second player. Then each player receives two cards that only he knows the value. 2 – The Flop When all players are in possession of their cards, occurs in the first round of betting. Players who want to continue the game are forced to pay at least the mandatory bet, either the big blind. When a player bets bigger than its predecessor, is said to raise. J. If the next player that his hand is not valid, he can throw: this is called so to bed. When all players have reached the equivalent of the big blind (or tied a Raise) the dealer crame the first card of the deck (the set aside) and return the three cards on the table: this is called the flop. 3 – The Turn Á after a round of betting (not required if everyone “Check” (Word), a fourth card is turned over on the table: it is called the turn. 4 – The River After this round of betting, the dealer crame a map and returns a fifth to complete the table: the River. 5 – Final round of betting poker After the river, comes the final round of betting. This past round, players are still competing to see their cards. Whoever wins is the participant who possesses the best combination formed by the five community cards and his two individual cards. In this case, we may use one of his two hole cards with four cards of the table, or, to use both hole cards with three of the table. You can even decide to call one of the hidden cards and you use only five cards from the board: in this case, all players can have the same game, so the winner takes all bets made during the four betting rounds. Sometimes there is equality between two players: in this case, they divide the pot equally.

We present below the different combinations of cards that you can be holding poker, from lowest to highest. From the start, you must know the value of each of these combinations is the only way to learn to play with the cards you have.
The highest card

During the poker game, if no player manages to establish one of the combinations shown above, not even a pair, the player will be declared the winner who is in possession of the highest card, namely the ‘As that displays the highest value. Furthermore, it serves as arbitrator to differentiate two identical combinations. The ace is considered as an accompanying card or booster called “kicker”. Remember this important concept, because it will often be repeated: in fact, poker five cards are common to all players. For example if the common table shows QQ-8-3-2 and if you hold in your hand QT, you’ll be beaten by a player who has QJ and QK.

A pair

Two cards of equal value associated with any 3 cards. The pair of Aces is the strongest, the pair of two lowest.

Please be aware that your income will not always proportional to the value of your combination in the classification. However, do not necessarily remarks at face value: it can happen to you lose with a square, but also to win with a simple pair. Remember this: there is no distinction between winning 1000 chips with a set and receive 1000 chips with a flush.
Two pairs

CK-K-7-7-2. If two players each have two pairs, they will be distinguished according to the highest pair.
Thus, AA-6-6 stronger than QQJJ.

Three of a Kind (“Three of a Kind”)

3 cards of same value associated with any two cards.

Suite or straight (“Straight”)

This is 5 cards in sequence and not all belong to the same color.
For example: 6-7-8-9-10. The suites are listed together according to the value of the highest card. The ace is the highest card in the combination AKQJ-10, but the lowest in A-2-3-4-5.

Square

4 cards of same value. The Four Aces is the strongest of the square, the square of the two lowest.

Colour (“flush”)

It is five cards of the same suit (spade, heart, diamonds or clubs) that do not follow. To differentiate between two colors, we take as reference value the highest card, and in case of equality of value of the next card.
For example: AJ-8-5-3 of diamonds stronger than A-9-8-5-3 of diamonds. Memorize well as poker, the colors are of equal value without exception. However, beware: the hearts and tiles are not the same color, as well as spears and clubs!
