Starting hands: don’t play junk

Starting hands: don’t play junk
Range thinking

Not every hand enters the pot; position shapes range.

Don’t play every hand. Prefer high pairs, AK/AQ, and suited connectors with a clear plan; wait for late position on marginal hands.

Treat “folding most hands” as a skill, not fear. Survival and selection beat the occasional miracle suck-out.
