Another common flop that lends itself to bluffing is when there is a flop with no bet and the highest card on the flop pairs on the turn. Because of the fact that the top pair on the flop will be bet 95% of the time, you can usually be sure that the paired card on the turn did not make someone trips.

For example, the flop is J* 7v 3* and the turn is J*. This is one of those rare times when you can bet knowing you're beat but won't be called. Anyone holding a Seven or a Three will usually fold it, not wanting to risk the possibility that you have a Jack and checked it on the flop. They will consider the possibility that you were going to check-raise if there was no bet on the flop. As funny as it sounds, you can even show your A* Kv to a player holding a Seven and he'll still throw it away, because of the pot odds.

11. Faking a Rush
After you've beat a certain player several times with the nuts, you can consider bluffing him on the river in the near future. You've conditioned him to seeing the nuts from you and he'll give you considerably more respect than he would the other players. All you have to do is act like here we go again and he'll be more likely than usual to throw his hand away. After all, is his mind, you're on a rush against him. If everything's working for you and you're really lucky, he'll throw away much better hands against you than he would against the other players.

When you are in early position, the type of hands that you can play is restricted to high cards, hands that clearly have a high expectation of winning, hands that will win with little or no improvement, or if you have drawing cards like Av Qv, hands that still have a chance to win if you miss your draw. You can miss your v draw and still win with a pair of Aces or Queens. The hands you play up front should be able to stand a raise behind you if it comes.

These are the only hands that you can profitably play from early position in a low limit game:

Early Position Hands
A* Av, K* K*, Q+ Q*, Av Kv, A* Q>, A* K*, Av Q>
As you become a more experienced Hold'em player and gain a deeper insight into the subtleties of the game there are several other hands that you can add to this early position starting hand list. This is also true for the following middle and late position starting hand list and these added hands will be covered later in the book.
Anything else, no matter how pretty it looks, is not profitable played in an early position in a low limit game.

Middle Position
While playing in middle position you will usually have a few callers in front of you already in the pot and you'll have a few more potential callers behind you. Because the chance of a raise is somewhat reduced and there are already several players in the pot, you are getting better odds to play somewhat weaker hands and you will often be getting the correct odds to play drawing hands like J* T*.
