High Hands
1. How do high shaking hands perform in situations where no low card or only one comes on the flop ?
Ans : Well.
2. What if two or three low cards come on the flop ?
Ans : The high hands now do poorly.
3. In what type of games do high hands do well ?
Ans : In games where the pot is not raised before the flop.
4. Why ?
Ans : Because it is more likely than not that low cards will flop, meaning that most flops are going to be unplayable.
5. Suppose you flop top set but two low cards are also on board ?
Ans : Your hand often will be in trouble, because low straights and flushes are fairly easy to make.
6. What does this mean ?
Ans : You want to play more high hands in games where it does not cost much to see the flop.
7. What if the action is not multiway ?
Ans : It doesn’t matter whether you get in cheaply, because high hands play well short-handed.
8. Why do suited high hands do well in tight games ?
Ans : Because three low cards don’t always appear. When they do come, they may not make your opponents’ hands.
9. What do you want to avoid ?
Ans : Playing when it looks as though other people might be counterfeited your hand.
10. Example ?
Ans : A hand like 10 
J 
Q 
K is usually very good. But if a couple of other players also are playing high with similar big cards, your hand is probably somewhat counterfeited by their hands.
11. When do you want to have hands ?
Ans : When you are in a short-handed pot against players who play only the low hands.
12. In what situation do high hands not play well ?
Ans : Against players who play extremely tight and are likely to have a hand like two aces with low cards.
