Message: [QUOTE="LizzyJ, post: 1062149, member: 49285"] When I first started playing I read Bobby Baldwin's section in Super System on starting hands. He's a very solid player, a WSOP Main Event Winner, a regular at the Big Game and is in the Poker Hall of Fame. Good enough credentials for me!!! Later, I read up on the +EV as per David Sklansky. Playing the +EV hands in the correct position. That was an eye opener. A little bit too loose for my taste, though. I do think if you are really new to the game, those might be a good read. I think it will help develop your style of play. Picking the right starting hands are the basics of Poker, but like our favorite cowboy says.....don't fall in love with them. If you are playing any two suited cards in any position, or playing A-rag in any position on a regular basis I would strongly recommend you read up on Sklansky for some tips. This might help shorten the learn curve on your way to becoming a solid player. [/QUOTE]
