Of all the skills required to be a good hold 'em player, the ability to read hands is one of the most time-consuming and difficult to master. It requires that you play or watch many, many hands, and that you expend the mental energy necessary to work through each hand, so you arrive at correct conclusions.

It also requires that you pay attention to the game and the players in progress even when you're not in the hand, which is something that the average low limit player doesn't usually do. And all of this assumes that you started with a good, solid, practical and theoretical understanding of all of the other aspects of the game.

If you already play in a regular game, the good news is that you already have some practice reading hands, even if you're not yet an expert at it. You already know about all of the possible combinations of questions you can ask about the play of a hand, and about the many different situations that can arise. Fortunately, many of these situations and questions are so similar that they can be reduced to a manageable number that will give you a satisfactory conclusion most of the time.

Because of the huge number of variables involved in reading hands, the impossibility of covering every feasible combination of events in the play of a hand, and the fact that this is intended to be a beginner's book, I'm going to help you learn how to read hands by asking you to accomplish the following assignment.

There's a principle in teaching that says that if you're going to teach someone something, one of the very first things you have to do is determine what the student already knows about the subject. This ensures that the student and the teacher are "on the same page," and that they begin the lesson in the appropriate place.

In this lesson, you get to decide exactly what your level of competence is, and we will start at that point.
