Play your marginal hands in hold 'em as you would play marginal hands in the other poker variations-stay in only if the cost is cheap. These hands have possibilities, but they're not worth the price of a stiff bet. To enter the betting with marginal hands, you must take into account your position at the table.
The last position is the best. It permits you to see what prior bets were made before committing your hand. When you're facing heavy bets and raises, you must fold marginal hands. If only a call is necessary, however, give these cards a chance at the flop. A good flop can turn these cards into favorites.
In early or middle position, if you're holding marginal hands, you can call the opening bet. If there's been a raise, though, you must fold. If there is a raise after the initial bet has been called, you can see this raise also, but you must fold in the face of a double raise, or in situations where yet another raise can follow.
WEAK HANDS
All other hands, ones not shown in the above three categories, should be folded. They are heavy underdogs with little chances of winning. If you're playing in a hold 'em game requiring a blind or opening bet, by all means, though, take the flop for free. If it costs you to see the flop, fold immediately. It's much cheaper watching this round as a bystander.
