The ultimate set of lessons for beginner players! Hellmuth walks you through both basic game play and winning strategy – you’ll want to start playing right away. Phil’s critical tips:

• Don’t play really low limits. The rakes (money the poker room takes from the pot) will prevent you from winning money in the long run. Start at the $4 - $8 tables.
• Don’t ask to see a losing hand. That’s like shouting during someone’s backswing.
• Only play top-ten hands to start with (and yes, Phil tells you what they are!), and play those hands aggressively.
• Learn how to identify different types of players. Phil gives them cool animal names like eagle, mouse, fish, jackal, elephant, and lion.

The focus here is on how to play premium hands. Phil walks you through sample hands, offers entertaining insights from personal experience, and breaks down how you should play each hand. Critical tips:

• Always raise and re-raise before the flop with top hands.
• Always raise or re-raise after the flop to "see where you are."
• Fold to lions and mice.

Here Phil gets a little more advanced. He discusses hands you play the majority of times, how to play them, and when to fold them. He also notes that this strategy will lead to more swings your in game, but is better in the long run. Among the key tips:

• Either hit it (on the flop), or fold it.
• Protect your hand when you hit (the flop).
• The power of a (small) pair is making trips.
