Good Evening. Many people are under the assumption that pocket aces is the best possible starting hand in hold em. I am here today to tell you that it is NOT.

The real best starting hand is Jack Ten suited. It is the nut drawing hand, offering numerous straight, flush and straight flush opportunities, not to mention the fact that you could also catch top pair with this hand with a reasonable kicker too.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Jack Ten suited is surely the ultimate starting hand for hold em.

Go to the calculator put in aa vs j10 suited and then come back here and tell me the odds which should also tell u your wrong lol

bloke 7.

the game is texas hold em tournament.
3 people are left playing. lets say the blinds are 5/10. all 3 people post there blinds, they see the flop. 1 person only has 2 chips left, he goes all in with 2 chips. how many chips do the other 2 players have to put in the pot if they want to carry on?????

I think you are wrong on this one, aces are the best starting hand in my opinion, but of course they do not always win. BTW I did the odds and aces win against J 10 suited. 78.1% to 21.6.%

no you're wrong, j 10 suited is the best hand and i will prove it by sacrificing a goat tonight.

bloke, could you answer my post plzzzzzzzzz

gaz i think it depends on what position the player with only 2 chips left is in. if he/she is in the big blind position, perhaps the other players only need to put 2 chips in to continue? what happened in your case? did you feel that you Had to put too many/ too little chips in? to be honest I'm not sure.


HOPE THIS HELPS

hi. erm, it was the person with only 2 chips left to act 1st after the flop i think. i wasnt playing but after the all in of 2 chips, i said to the next player he only had to put 2 chips in if he wanted to stay in the hand. other people said i was wrong and that they had to put 10 chips in (the amount of the big blind). every1 on this site says im right, tried googleing it but cant seem to find a good enough explanation of the rule.

you're right, im pretty sure of it, unless someone raises his bet of 2 chips

HOPE THIS HELPS

cheers. the more confirmation i get, the surer i am of been right lol

Feel free to ask me any other questions about the game because I am a poker EXPERT.

lol.

Gaz he couldn't even fill the back of a stamp with his knowledge of poker lol

Excuse me, I find that offensive, is there a MOD on hand to deal with this situation? HE'S INSULTING ME FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Actually blade i do have quite a good knowledge of poker and recently played online for real money.

HOPE THIS HELPS

...

HOW MUCH DID YOU WIN? LOL

actually im pretty sure you have to put in the amount of the big blind, unless the person with two chips is the only other person in the hand and all in with just that, if there was a person to act behind that, then the amount of the big blind applies

iv tested it out on this site, and also on FB poker, and both did the same, just call the all in amount.

gaz i think i finished about 2 pounds up after many hours of play. could have been a lot worse as i nearly blew all my money at one point, made a comeback and finished about even.

i dont know if this has been answerd for you, the answer is that everybody else would have to call 2 or raise ovbiously as there is a minimum bet but not a minimum call, if you was to raise the 2 however then it would double up the blind plus the 2 chips.. hope this helps

yea cheers tomboob. every1 saying same, apart from the idiots that i play poker within my local that are saying im wrong lol. i even printed something out from google, showed em it, but nope, im still wrong lol
