STARTING POKER HANDS - J10
Texas Holdem – How to Play J10
Popularly called Justin Timberlake or John Terry for the initials, JT, this poker hand is surprisingly considered a strong starting combination in Texas Holdem. This hand isn’t capable of making top pair but is credited with having the potential to strike the top straight in the poker game. Jack Ten suited is an even better thing to see and makes decision making fairly simple.
Late position is the best
Position is very important while playing most poker hands but JT defies the rules of poker and makes gameplay very simple. Whichever way you play pre-flop, it is very easy to make choices with JT post flop. If raising in late position, you either hit your monster straight on the flop or you don’t. Now it is easy to decide, if you flopped your straight then the game takes off for you and if you don’t then it is time to muck. JT is straightforward, either you hit the nuts or you don’t hit anything thus eliminating possibilities of getting stuck in a worthless pot. So play JT with confidence from all positions and simply muck if you don’t hit the straight or get a straight draw after the flop is the best poker tip.
