Worst Poker Hands

Let’s take a look at the worst poker hands ~ these hands should never be played! The only acception to that rule is if you’re heads up in a tournament and have barely enough for the next blind or if you’re the big blind and no one raise before you.

Even then you’re going to need a miracle of biblical proportions to win with these hands! If you see these cards at any other time, fold faster than Superman on laundry day!

A common mistake many new poker players make is playing too many hands, caught up in the excitement of the game they over play poor hands. Don’t force weak hands, even for the odd time you’ll get a lucky flop, it won’t pay in the long run to push weak cards. You might see Gus Hansen do it in the WSOP, but that doesn’t mean you can do it online, Gus has a reputation and that allows him to get away with some crazy moves. Online players call more often than players in real world games, remember Chris Ferguson’s tip. “Pump it or Dump it ~ if your hand isn’t strong enough for a raise it’s too weak for a call!”

The Worst Poker Hands

These are the very worst of the worst poker hands, here is a couple of reasons why these hands are considered sooooo bad. With these hands you have no straight draw, no flush draw, and even if you make a pair it’s unlikely you’ll have the best hand at the table because the card values are so low. Just because you might see a rare 7-7-2 flop, that doesn’t make it a good reason to play these hands.

So now you know the worst poker hands, lets look at some of the best hands you can get in texas holdem.
