What I learned as a poker beginner: Pair of Aces 6.

Avoid traps

Although a pair of Aces is the best starting hand, it is not unbeatable. If many players are involved in the hand, the chances of someone hitting a strong hand on the flop, turn or river increase. Knowing when to slow down the aggression or even fold a hand can be the difference between a big win or a big loss.

Absolutely! I've missed out on big wins by folding really bad cards much more than I've scored by playing really good cards. Those five community cards have a huge impact.

It's true, but it's not just a pair of aces, it's literally all hands. Being able to correctly assess the situation and fold if necessary is probably the most difficult thing for a beginner.

É verdade, mas não é só um par de ases, é literalmente todas as mãos. Ser capaz de avaliar corretamente a situação e desistir se necessário é provavelmente a coisa mais difícil para um iniciante.

Absolutely. I think that separates the beginners, like me, from the good players. they get it, I read and try to practice.
