Several Texas Holdem players have a “favorite hand” in the betting online. It may be a hand that won a competition for them, or some other unforgettable hand. Some have “personal attachments” to others, though definitely everyone’s favorite is pocket aces.

There is nothing wrong with this, as long as you continue to be objective about the hand. The opposite is correct with holdem poker hands sometimes. Occasionally you get a solid hand, perhaps A-K, many times through the course of a session and have failed with it each and every time you make an online bet. This could happen for days at a stretch.

You do not want to even look at A-K fairly soon. You start to feel as it there is no achievable way you might ever succeed with that hand. Something called a “gambler’s fallacy” is a thing statisticians can tell you about. The gambler’s fallacy is to think that only due to the fact a flipped coin comes up heads 4 times consecutively, that it will come up heads again.

Sometimes folks incorrectly trust the opposite: it will have to come up tails this time since it came up heads 4 times. The current flip has nothing to do with the earlier 4 flips, whether it comes up heads again, or if it comes up tails again.

The online poker probabilities of it turning up heads or tails in the next flip are exactly the same: Fifty percent. Texas Holdem applies the same theory. Getting defeat many times consecutively with the same hand should not affect your decision to the play the hand in the long run.

Keep in mind that each hand is a new start in Texas Holdem. The button is in a different place, there could be different competitors in the hand, and the flop will certainly be different. An excellent Texas Holdem player will assess each hand individually, and decide separately of earlier hands if the current hand is worth a call, a raise, or should be folded.

A pocket pair that has been beaten a variety of times may become a victor for you the next time played. If you decide to fold those pocket 10’s before the flop and see a third 10 on the flop, you will almost certainly be discouraged even more. This could have been avoided, and so might an unhappy disposition, if you adhere to the concept in the “gamblers fallacy.” This is applicable only to better than average online texas holdem hands. It will almost certainly continue to be a loser for you if you expect a 7-4 hand to win, which isn’t realistic.

Experience will assist you to understand which hands are a lot better than average, but this should be a very effortless process. In short, play each hand separately, and do not count on past experiences to make your judgment for you.
