what are premium hands?Rotty said:be selective with the hands you play , play mainly premium hands but play them agressively ( obviously you need to mix it up a bit but use this as a general strategy )

sorry, what do you mean by 'tight'?Visage said:Play very tight at first - You'll get a lot of players (especially if they're as inexperienced as you) going in with low pairs (and by low i mean anything lower than JJ)
Keep it tight, and be prepared to fold 80%+ of your hands at first.
As the players whittle down, be prepared to be much more aggressive.

the other players have more experience than me. a couple of them play online for money. but i don't think they're really that amazing. as far as money is concerned i think we're each putting in just 10 (or something like that) and then playing with coppers. whoever is the overall winner with coppers at the end of the night takes home the entry fee kitty - £60.
it's just for fun really, not much at stake (thankfully!).
not even beginners luck?divaboy said:Oh and I nearly forgot luck there's no such thing as luck in poker
