fold preflop

rookie72 - what stakes are you playing?

this is meant to be helpful so please don't be offended. when you are learing, the first thing you need to do is understand starting hand selection in the early levels. from your three posts today it is clear you have no idea about which hands to play L1L2. so probably stop playing and study a bit. please play the micro stakes while you are learning.

search the FAQ and this forum for info on starting hand selection. maybe someone can find you a link.

good luck, and please play micro stakes while you are learning.
