1. Introduction

By the time the community cards are dealt, you naturally want to know: What did I hit? Is it good? Is it bad? This article will show you some of the different combinations and possibilities.

In order to simplify things, we'll only mention the cards that you need for your tournament strategy. It would make no sense to show you every hand combination in order to cram your brain with unnecessary information. All unmentioned card combinations are either too poor or too expensive to play, which is against your motto: I protect my chips. Playing in tournaments requires a different strategy to playing poker for cash.
