The number one absolute worst hand you can come across in Texas Hold ‘Em is a 7-2, especially if they are not of the same suit where best case scenario you may end up with a low pair or a low flush but you can’t even make a straight with them as there are four cards between. The same goes for an 8-2. Both of these hands are hands you should fold on. 8-3 and 7-3 off suit are probably just as bad also for the same reasons.

 If you’re dealt a 2 and a 6 hopefully they’ll be of the same suit and maybe just maybe you’ll get the miraculous deal of 3, 4 and 5 all in the same suit which could give you a straight however someone with a  straight that goes to 7 could top you. This hand has bad odds. 

If you get handed a face card and a low card (especially if they’re off suit) don’t make the beginners mistake of thinking you have a chance here just because you have a face card. More often than not this is a losing hand and overconfidence will only make you lose more.

 If by chance an Ace should happen into your hands paired with a low card and they’re unsuited this can only lead to trouble. The low card can easily be beat if someone should happen to have an Ace of their own so don’t bet high on hands like these. 

Be careful when learning the ways of Texas Hold ‘Em you should play with friends or don’t play for cash until you’ve had at least a few months practice beforehand. It’s a tricky game and we wouldn’t want to see you get discouraged before you get the hang of it.
