Blog > TOP 10 – POKER STARTING HANDS
If you’d like to know what are the best hands in Texas Hold ‘Em poker, here’s a quick reference list. When your two hold cards have been dealt, if you hold any of these hands, be sure to stay in the game. You have a very good chance of winning.
Everybody knows this is one of the best poker hands one can hope for. It wins more than any other hand. Other names for the Ace-Ace are American Airlines, bullets or pocket rockets.
After two Aces this is the next strongest hand. Being the second best hand, this is still extremely strong. A pair of kings are also knows as ‘cowboys’.
Holding two queens may not be as strong as holding a pair of kings or a pair of aces, but you can pretty much beat anything below.
Ace-King is generally a strong hand in online poker, but just how strong it is will depend largely on the flop. If the flop is able to provide you with a pair of aces or kings to complete your set, then you have a winning hand. A suited Ace-King is typically stronger than an unsuited Ace-King, because reaching a flush is easier.
5. Jack-Jack
Holding a pair of Jacks gives you a fair chance at winning. Unless the flop reveals an ace, king or queen, you’re definitely a front –runner in the game.
Ace-Queen is also a strong hand. If suited, it should win 20% of the time during the game.
If you are dealt a King-Queen, it will definitely work to your advantage. This hand is only at risk if an Ace is shown in the flop.
An Ace-Jack is another great hand, especially when suited.
If you hold a King-Jack, you do have a fair shot at winning, especially if you are in later positions in the game and also if the King-Jack is suited. Remember though, it can be beat by the other strong hands and if a big raise has been made, your smartest move would be to fold.
Ace-ten is another decent hand to have. If you’re lucky enough that the flop holds a King, Queen and Jack, then you’re on your way to winning poker games.
