Hi my name Ernie Crespo with Expert Village and today I'm going to teach you the fundamentals of Texas holdem. This section I'm going to teach you about basic starting hands. Basic starting hands that I would consider playable would be anything from a pair of eights, a pair of nines, a pair of tens, a pair of jacks, a pair of queens, a pair of kings and of course your pair of aces, your highest starting hand in Texas holdem. Other options if you don't get a starting hand of a pair of eights or higher are playing what I consider playing blackjack hands. Blackjack hands would be Ace King which in a blackjack hand would be considered twenty one. Ace queen another blackjack hand. Ace jack another blackjack hand and ace ten. Also great starting hands are any two face cards that have, that can be shown us by king jack, queen ten, or vice versa queen jack, king ten and etc.
