I play a lot of trash in late position but this is mostly meant to be a guide to get people started winning and avoid hard to play hands that can turn into huge losers. No Limit Starting Hands Only very advanced players should even think about calling a single blind with optional groups six through eight   Premium / Group 1 Raise Always / Reraise Aces   Group 2 Raise Always / Don't reraise take a flop and try to hit your hand. If only 1 or 2 players called your raise preflop it is normal to follow up with a normal 2/3 pot bet on the flop when you miss your hand. A lot of times you will pick the pot up here. If you get action do not bluff again on the turn just check/fold your hand.   Group 3 : Medium Pairs Limp Any Position / Call raise up to 5 big blind more / Flop a set or fold   Group 4 : Low Pairs Limp Any Position / Call normal raises preflop to hit sets and double       Group 5 : AQ Limp Early-Mid / Raise last 2-3 spots / Fold to Raise or Re-raise Don't get broke with AQ :)       Optional Hands Group 6 : Broadway late position only / NEVER call raises Try to flop big to these hands and dont call off money on the flop when it only hits you a little bit   Optional Hands Group 7 : Suited Connectors in position only / only play against big stacks / only play in very aggressive games. Don't play these everytime you get them, they are very situational.   Optional Hands Group 8 : Ax's in position only / only play against big stacks / only play in very aggressive games. Don't Call Raises preflop. Obviously you won't be playing these very often because you can only play them in an aggressive game where you can get paid off and you can only play it in an unraised pot.
