Unlike casino games played against the house, poker is a game of skill played against other human beings.

By adopting a few core strategic concepts, beginners can drastically improve their win rate at the tables.

In reality, you should fold the vast majority of your starting hands before the flop is even dealt.

When you do get a premium starting hand, you should play it aggressively by raising, rather than just calling.
