Play before Flop
The best players of Texas Hold' em grant a primordial importance in
the selection of the hands of departure and do not hesitate to lie down
when they consider it necessary.
In effect, their strategy is to play a minimum of hands but with a maximum
of success!
To arrive at your tower(turn) there, the first quality is to show patience.
1) Patience
Statistically, about 2/3 of the hands that you are going to accept(receive)
are not of big interest, that is that on the long - term, you will more
often be losing than winning with these hands
Example: 4 trefle - 9 pike(spades)
With a hand of this type, it is deeply recommended to lie down.
When this type of hand is repeated, to show patience is therefore the
best guarantee not to lose bets in vain.
When that a hand holds your attention, you must then assess(estimate)
it in the context of the party(part): that is in comparison with your
position around the table. In effect, with your two cards(maps) in hands
before Flop, it is the only element which you have !
2) Position
The more you play in late(belated) position and the more you have information
on other players and therefore more your hand is potentially strong.
So, with a hand of rather medium force.
E xemple: Ram tile - 10 pike(spades)
In late(belated) position: according to the bets of other players,
you are capable of choosing your best action: lie down, follow, or restart
and " steal the pot ".
In hurried position: you have no necessary detachment to make the best
decision. Numerous players will make therefore the decision to lie down
in this situation. Possibly, it is possible to follow to see Flop but
you must hope that the players located after you will not re start you.
Situation is therefore uncomfortable.

3) In summary:
The choice of the hands on which you decide to play before to découvir
Flop is decisive(conclusive) for your chances of success on the long
- term. To make the good choice, will you have both following notions
in mind?
To play all hands systematically is an error. Contrariwise, shown patience
and drop hands without interest.
Take into account your position: the more you play in late(belated)
position and the more the value(stock) of your hands is comparatively
strong in comparison with those of your rivals.
With what hands of departures to restart?
Here is mentioned below a summary picture of the main hands of departure
with which to restart: Pair of Whizz
Kings' pair

These hands of departure are the strongest that they can accept(receive).
To secure a return them at the farthest, restart, whatever is your position,
appears as the best strategy.
With what hands of departure to follow?
Here is mentioned below a summary picture of the main hands of departure
with which it is recommended to follow, whatever is your position:

These hands are less strong than the previous but introduce(present)
advantage that if Flop is favourable to you, you have then very good
chances to have a winning hand.
Otherwise, if no card(map) ameliorates your game or if printing(impressions)
suite and colour seem to you perilous, it is preferable that you drop
your hand.
