After many years of playing poker, I wanted to share my top tips on how I play my hands when playing free poker games online.
If you are new to poker and want to understand what the hands mean then hopefully my guide will really help you.
Pocket pairs: Aces the 10s 4 x the big blind. 7s,8s and 9s 2 times the big blind. 6s and lower I just flat call. 4s and under if a big raise is made I fold.
Ace/King to Ace/10 I raise 3x the big blind. Ace/9 and lower I just flat call and depends on the kicker if a raise is made I may just fold. Lower kickers like 2-5 should be folded with a raise made.
I prefer to play mid suited connectors like 7/6 of hearts I’ll play to see a flop no raise just call and if the bet is too high I fold them.
Many players prefer to play small suited connectors, but I prefer to avoid these. Every now and again I will, but it depends on how the other players are playing and my gut feelings.
I will also play connectors i.e: 8/9 off suite for the big blind price.
Now any cards that are more than 5 apart should be folded unless they are face cards.
Any cards that are 3 cards apart ie:7/4 can be played but only at right price and if they are suited.
Cards that are 2 cards apart i.e: 6/4 can be played suited or not for the right price and I never raise with these or call a big raise.
This is just how I like to play my poker, but of course every player is different. Maybe some of my tips will work for you, and some others wont. My best tip is to go with your gut instinct and hopefully it will be right.
free poker games and pay poker is all about playing a game and having fun, so relax and chill out when playing.
