NL No Limit Hold Em Poker - Tricky Hands to Watch Out For

The following NL No limit Hold Em Poker hands are tricky ones that can cause catastrophe. Protect yourself and don't fall victim to these hands.

NL No Limit Hold Em Poker is a great game however there are some dangerous pit falls lurking around the place. Some of which draw new players into a false sense of security. Don't be tricked. Avoid the following hands to ensure you have real, long lasting success in poker.

Face Cards And Low Cards

I reckon that these would have the be the worst cards that dupe so many players into losing so much money. For some reason, when someone sees paint they automatically think they have a great hand. Well I'm sorry, but a Q-2 or J-3 isn't a good hand. Even watch out when its a King or Ace because they aren't that good just by themselves.

These pockets get new players time and time over. Most of all, when the pressures on and the need for a good hand is at it's highest, players will see these and think they've got gold. Sadly, this isn't the case, and playing these cards when in a corner is one of the worst things you can do.

Coin Flip Hands

Coin flip hands are the hands that you get where at the draw you have about a 50-50 chance of winning or losing, based on the draw. These cards are dangerous because you are practically just betting on pure luck to win.

This isn't a good idea. You should be playing poker on skill and probability and be sure (well, almost sure) you are going to win. Just closing your eyes and saying 'flip the coin, I'll take 1 in 2 odds' is like drawing a barrel to your head and playing Russian roulette with your stack.
