Always try to play for the hands through which you can win a big pot and keep yourself away form low pot where you can only win less money.
When deciding whether to play a hand or not, you should consider two main points:
You should definitely play the hands in which you have a good chance of winning a large pot. But you should shy away from hands that will only win a small pot or that will lose a big one. Hands like AJ or AT are usually ’win a little, lose a lot' hands. If you hold AJ unsuited, an early position player raised preflop, you called, and the flop is AT5, if you are the only one with the ace you probably won’t get any action. On the other hand, if the bettor has AK or AQ, you are probably going to lose a lot of money by paying all the way to the river. Let’s see what your chances are of winning with AJ against AK: the flop is A85, you have only 12% of winning, and your opponent has 87% and 1% for a tie. Any aces or kings with a low or even medium kicker are potential dominated hands if not played carefully. Therefore, folding a preflop raise is probably the best decision.
Playing too many hands is one of the worst mistake made by beginners, you can find a lot ‘Aces Lovers’ who plays with any Ace they get. This is the fastest way to lose money.
