THE STRONGEST HANDS IN TEXAS HOLDEM: WHAT SHOULD WE DREAM ABOUT?

.

Texas Hold'em is a magical version of poker. It is a kind of story where the strongest can lose to the weakest. A game where the amateur Chris Moneymaker can beat the best professionals and become a millionaire. Just like in the movies. Likewise, the strongest hand in the game is never immune to defeat against the weakest. Not before all five community cards are turned over on the table. Still, every player dreams of a good hand even before the flop. Have you ever wondered what you should most dream of appearing in your hand? Here are the 10 strongest hands in the game:

1. A pair of aces

The undisputed winner. Whatever your opponent has in his hand, you will be a favorite against him preflop. Unless there are the other two aces in the deck. Then one of you can make a flush, but it will be very difficult to achieve. Statistics show that you will get aces in one out of 221 hands. Watch how many opponents will reach the flop. We know there's no way you'll give up before him.

2. A pair of pops

King Kong, ladies and gentlemen. Or the cowboys. Call this hand what you will. She remains incredibly strong. Watch out for an ace on the flop because it can get you into serious trouble. It is very likely that at least one of your rivals has something else inside of them. Then only a miracle will save you!

3. A pair of ladies

The two ladies are very pleasant company. To put it mildly. The hand easily ranks among the top three strongest in the game. But every more experienced poker player has stories where they brought him a loss. Like any woman, so beware!

4. Ace and King of a suit

There isn't much argument that this hand is stronger than a pair of jacks or a pair of tens. The thing is, it means absolutely nothing if you don't see a high flop, or simply put face cards being turned over. A possible flush will be the strongest, you are also playing for the highest straight. Separately, you wait for high pairs, and why not the strongest possible hand in poker. You know who we're talking about!

5. Ace and queen of the same suit

Here the situation is not very different from the previous strongest hand. Nut flush, royal flush, straight or high pairs. All this will be at your disposal if you are lucky enough with the cards turned over.

6. A pair of Jacks

"Hooks" is a favorite hand of many. Yes, a pair of aces, a pair of kings or a pair of queens will beat you easily if you are not very lucky. But before the flop you will be a favorite against every other pair. So there is a lot to gain from jacks.

7. Pop and lady of the same suit

Yes, in some games it is a white that carries 20 points. In poker, it's more like the best possible married couple between a king and a queen. Be careful if you collect a flush and the ace is not face up on the table. Otherwise, you may lose a serious amount of money.

8. Ace and Jack of the same suit

"Out of a suit" is very important for hand strength at the start of the turn. It's just that the chance of a flush always makes you stronger before the flop. And it can lose meaning as soon as you see it and there's not a single card of your suit there. Still, an ace and jack of a suit is a very strong hand.

9. Ace and king of different suits

In fact, this is how big the difference is if you hold two cards of the same suit in your hand - 5 positions in our ranking. This is the only hand to make the top 10 without being a pair or combination of the same suit. Your chance of a flush is minimal, but it will certainly be very strong.

10. A pair of tens

Two by 10 in the 10th place. Such math seems simple. All you can dream about in this hand is to see another ten and two other numbers on the flop. It will be even better if the flop is of three different suits. This will make you by far the strongest hand before the river. But how will you play it and will the situation not change on the turn and river?
