Also, find charts online as far as which hands are better than others, as you may not have thought about it much before. Most normal people might think King 8 offsuit is a decent hand, but it's actually pretty lame when you consider it's offsuit, the cards don't reach each other in a straight, and it's a King not an Ace. Also, people tend to value low pairs a lot higher than they should. If you have a low pair and 5 higher cards are showing in the community, that leaves 15 possibilities out there of someone beating you with just 1 card in their hand, let alone the possibility that they're holding a higher pair, have a straight (or a higher straight if your cards make a straight), or have a flush (or a higher flush if there are 4 of a suit showing and you make a flush). In general, if someone holds a higher pair than you, you're dominated in the hand. Likewise, always consider the possibility that someone could have a hand linked to yours, like Ace King when you have Ace Jack. or Queen 4 when you have two 4s. That always screws up the odds that you might have figured out in your head, and it's dangerous especially if you have an ace and are playing off of your pair of aces, and someone else has an ace with a higher kicker. A lot of times, people just assume they're winning and bet crazy without paying attention.
