Whether you’re playing a game with five cards or seven cards, community cards or a game where you’re only dealt your own cards, the aim is still to try and bet or bluff your opponents out of the hand and, ultimately, to make the best possible five card hand possible. A Royal Flush is still the strongest hand you can make and a High Card hand is the lowest. A straight is still a straight and a flush is still a flush.
No matter what game you’re playing, or which limit structure you’ve chosen, you will always get your chance to act and when that time comes it’s up to you to decide whether you want to Raise, Call, Check or Fold. If it’s a No Limit game you’re playing then the ‘All-In’ option will always be available for you to use. You will always be working towards getting a better hand than your opponents, or trying to bluff them out of the betting.
The skills and techniques required for each discipline can be totally different but at the heart of each game the basics of poker hold true. Play with the best possible starting cards whenever you can and try to make the strongest hand.
Always bear in mind that it’s far better to get involved in the action when you have a strong hand, not when you have a marginal hand and it’s clear that your opponent has a strong one. That advise holds true regardless of whichever version of poker you happen to be playing.
Find which game best suits your own skills and abilities, remember those basic poker tenets which hold true through all of the games and, more than anything, enjoy your time at the tables.
