When you first begin playing poker it is recommended to stick to the top 10 hands, as this makes learning and winning the game easier for a novice. Once you have mastered the basics, though, you should consider moving onto the more advanced hands; otherwise your play will become too predictable. Anyone who wants to become a true poker player has to begin playing other hands besides the top 10 hands.

There are a lot of great hands in poker that are not part of the top 10 hands. In fact, there are some situations where the hands that are not in the top 10 are better then some that are in the top 10 hands.

If you had pocket 7’s and you were up against 4 other people with Ace King then I am pretty sure you would be very happy to be the one with 77. Of course, that is a very unreal example, but you get the point. You just cannot rely on only the top 10 starting hands to be successful.
