What is the best no limit texas holdem poker system for friendly games with friends?
September 26th, 2008
We play no limit texas holdem as a group of friends a few times a month, about 8-10 around the table normally. Play is pretty lose, but most people seem to know what they are doing. I'm wondering if anybody has a proven system of play that consistent takes the money home? =) We normally play for $5 each a game, then have 1st/2nd/3rd prizes… it is like a "sit n go" type of game, everybody gets 800 worth of chips for the start of each game.
I recommend reading Phil Hellmuth's poker book called Play Poker Like the Pros. Basic strategy comes down to only playing the top hands (any pair, AK, AQ) preflop and then calculating your odds after the flop comes down. When you have the best hand make sure to bet so that a hand that may be drawing for a flush or straight instead folds.

Texas Hold 'Em is as much, if not more, about the players as it is about the cards. If you know how your friends play you can easily come up with ways to beat them.
