There are some basic starting hands that are the “ultimate” hands for in Texas Hold’em. These hands include pocket pairs, which are any pair. The best of which are aces. Getting a starting hand of 2 aces is the best hand in the game. The reason for this is, when the flop and river come, even if nobody on the table gets anything but a pair, you still win. In addition, nobody can have a higher pair than you.

The fact that this hand is the best hand would make everyone think that this hand should be used at all times and you should bet all you’re money in. This is not correct thinking. First of all, when you get this hand, you don’t wan to bet too much money at first because you will cause anyone who knows even a little strategy to fold causing you to lose out on a few more bets. One of the people that you caused to fold might have thought that they had the better hand with a pair of kings and raised for you, which would have meant more money for the pot. You want t o keep that pot as large as possible and you want to cause as many people as possible to lose.
