3 Thoughts on Selection in Poker By B. Butler 1. Every poker online hand that you are dealt is a hand you can potentially go broke or double up in. Outside of picking what hand you want to play or not play, the realm of action that is offered with each deal is a door. You choose which doors to open or close by picking which hands to proceed with, and which hands to let go. 2. Picking your poker hands and the door is only the beginning. The flop is the central definition of any hand. As much as what cards hit your hand on the flop, the texture of the board is important in how you should continue. If you have a drawing hand versus a hand that is not likely to improve from the flop, this will affect your betting method as to whether you need to protect now or aim for more money coming later. 3. If a board’s texture does not operate well with your hand selection you should realize you have only two ways you can proceed: to win the pot by applying pressure, or giving up the hand. Which is more appropriate depends on your opponent and your position, which has little to nothing to do with your hand itself or Everest Poker.
