Any two cards can win. The first secret to winning texas hold'em, therefore, is to learn which hands have positive expected valuethi is a skill called hand selection
Poker hands percentages: David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth assigned each hand to a group, and proposed all hands in the group could normally be played similarly. Stronger starting hands are identified by a lower number. Hands without a number are the weakest starting hands. As a general rule, books on Texas hold'em present hand strengths on the assumption of a nine or ten person table. Sklansky's Groups Adjusted:
