1. Introduction

If there are still large chip stacks at the table and you have more than 24 big blinds as well, it is not worth investing any money into marginal situations. You are playing the Dagobert-Duck-style: Lean back, count your chips and wait for a good situation. You are a cheapskate! These are your chips! You'd rather give up a hand than giving away your chips to some random gambler! Let others gamble! You are sitting there waiting for your chance.

You are thinking: Ok that's fine, but I want to know exactly how to play. For this purpose the tournament experts from PokerStrategy have created a chart, which will show you which starting hands you could play in what way, at a glance. This chart offers you a complete strategy in compact form for betting before the flop. However, this article offers much more to you. On the one hand, it describes how to handle the table, and on the other hand how you should continue to play the hand once the community cards have been dealt. Do you remember this article about the possible card combinations on the flop? Now you will learn how to play these combinations.
