Poker Strategy: The Basics You Should Know

These poker articles really lay down the basics when it comes to playing the game.  Some are a bit more advanced (like understanding Pot Odds), but you really need to know these fundamentals in poker.

Poker Starting Hands & Hand Rankings:  This article lays out the best to worst starting hands, and offers some tips on what position to play them at.

Poker Hand Rankings:  This area will show you what beats what, for instance, a Flush beats a Straight, or Quads beat a Full House.

Poker Table Position:  Understanding position is very important in poker.  It took me awhile to understand its importance, but it is critical to long term winning poker.

Poker Odds Made Simple:  This article is also included in the Poker Tips & Advice section, because it's a little more advanced, but we feel it is extremely important to learn and understand as well, so we included it here.
