Start small

Value of the pocketcards

Your two pocketcards are the only difference between you and your opponents. It's very important to know what to do with every combination of your two pocketcards.  A-A is much better than 7-3. Play the good pocketcards and fold the bad ones.

Position of the game

Fold
