Previously, we talked about which poker starting hands to play with if you were sitting in an early position and the cards were unsuited. This is a sure way for beginners to learn how tightly they need to play if they want to increase the size of their custom poker chip stack. It also helps those poker players avoid huge hits to their custom poker chip stacks which they often incur due to their loose selection of poker starting hands. Now we are going to look at how to look after those valuable custom poker chip stacks when faced with suited cards when you are in an early position at the poker table.

2. Early Position Suited

We suggest that you read these pages in order because we shall be drawing comparisons between the best way to play each poker starting hand from different positions at the poker table. To increase the size of your custom poker chip stack, you must follow the advice we gave you in the first of these pages. You must raise and limp in (and more importantly fold) whenever we suggested. This will help you to decrease the number of times your custom poker chip stack gets hit due to your poor, loose play.

In addition to the information we gave you previously, you must limp in with the following poker starting hands when they are suited:

• King with a Jack

So not a great deal of change here. Poker players, especially beginners, often over-value their starting poker hands, simply because they are suited. Remember, cards being suited only gives you the extra potential of hitting a flush and bringing in the custom poker chip pot. Sure, this will gives your custom poker chip stack a massive boost but you will rarely hit a flush in Texas Holdem. It is not worth making reckless moves with suited starting poker hands.

Keep your play tight and don’t fall into the trap of thinking, ‘Oh, it’s only a small percentage of my custom poker chip stack to call, I may as well do it…’ This soon mounts up and after a bit of time, you will see the results in a diminished custom poker chip stack. Remember, all other starting poker hands must be folded. Just throw the cards away and save your custom poker chip stack for a more valuable starting poker hand.
