If you’ve been playing Texas Hold ‘Em online poker for any period of time, you’ll probably have a decent idea of what a good starting poker online hand is. Your pocket pairs down to 10s if you’re under the gun. Suited Aces down to ATs. And of course you know that hand strength changes as you get position on players and depending on the other online poker player’s actions. But there’s one thing we haven’t covered. Hands that have potential. These potential bearing hands are hands you’d like to see the flop with, but aren’t considered premium hands. Online, these hands are hands that you’d not want to call a raise with, and in position are considered limpable. Hands like suited Aces or KQ suited, and other suited connectors and suited one gappers down to 74 suited. Again, you have to pay attention to the position and the previous action, but these hands have serious potential post flop and if you hit the flop hard, it’s nearly impossible to detect even from the most astute player. Let’s say you’re holding 74 suited and 56x of your suit comes up. You have a greatly disguised super drawing hand and an over to boot if the X is below a 7. You can treat your smaller pocket pairs the same way and play them for set value. And the best time to do this is when you get an AXY flop, the Y being your set card. Anyone playing an ace will be playing this pretty aggressively, and if you choose to smooth call or reraise, you’re going to be putting some doubt and confusion in his mind. To wrap it up, what you’ll be wanting to do is look for opportunities where you can limp these hands and hit the flop hard with them the same time someone else thinks they hit the flop hard. And trust me, when you do, you’ll be getting a pay off in the form of their chips in your pile.
