Weak but still useful hands

At the end of our beginner video series, we'll take a look at several weak hands that can still be played profitably in late position.

Some months ago KTU introduced our innovative new beginner strategy. It consists of individual videos, each focusing on single hole card combinations.

In contrast to previous strategies, you won't just get general rules to follow. Instead you will receive specific strategic tips as well as an explanation as to why this advice is important.

After discussing a whole range of strong hands, we will now round off the series with weak steal hands like Queen-Five suited or Eight-Seven offsuit.

How to play weak steal hands?

In poker, some hands can appear quite weak at first sight, especially to the untrained eye. Still most of these hands can be useful when it comes to attempting a blind steal once you are first to act in late position.

Besides explaining when exactly to play these hands, we will also introduce a c-betting strategy that's particularly profitable against micro stakes opponents, while further discussing your other postflop options in case a steal doesn't work preflop.

How to play weak steal hands

With our new beginner strategy, you will learn how to play individual hands step-by-step, always topped off with the theory on which the strategy is built. This enables you to deviate from an overly static approach at the table whenever you feel it's necessary.

Our overview matrix provides videos to all the hands that we've explained so far. Just click on a hand you want to learn more about to get to the video:
