Widen Your Starting Hands

In no-limit hold em, you wanna stick to playing the premium hands; AQ, AK, JJ, QQ, KK, AA. These are the hands that are usually rewarded in the no limit arenas. However, when you are playing the lower limit games, you have to change gears a bit, and play a wider range of hands. I have seen many people bust out of the game, frustrated because this new blonde ding bat was playing every hand. Yes, this happens, and they usually hit for a while too when they do this.

Now keep in mind you don't want to play every hand, but you want to play a lot more than you would in no-limit. 7,8 suited might not look like such a good hand in no-limit, but here in the little games, take a shot. See the flop more. If you want to beat the dingy blonde, you gotta be in the pot with her, right!
