pair of cards to play

[Bruise Pristene]

Hi just started with Texas hold em. can anyone give me combos of pairs of card to play I'm new to it. for example just had a Queen and a 7 dealt to me (of diff suits) so sacked them and didnt bother is this wise? any advice from experience would be appreciated

Re: pair of cards to play Q7 offsuit is my favourite hand. :rollin It depends on many things from chip count to position to the behaviour of the table though, sorry to be of little help. You may find starting hand tables on the net somewhere, but experience and feel are the only real ways of making hand selections. It's another area of no hard fast rules, just try not to get tied to hands that look better than they are, medium pocket pairs, suited cards etc.
