By no means do I think I am a great player however, I have won my share of NL tournaments. Reading this post I do see mentiod by Paul Waters the most important aspect to the game of NL hold-em. Position, Position, Position. Learn position betting and you will vastly improve your game.

For example: A-10 in first position on a 9 -10 handed table is actually considered weak. However, the same hand in the big blind can actually be considered moderate or even slighly strong based on how many people stay in.

Using the same example, during head to head or three-handed A-10 would be considered a good call bet or even a raise in 1st position.

To sum up, get a good book on hold-em and study "position betting" I highly recommend Doyle Brunsons' "The Super System" The chapter on NO LIMIT hold-em is a must read.

Good-luck...
