Default Chris Moneymaker\'s brilliant pre flop advice.

Check out this nugget:
[ QUOTE ]
First, we need some shorthand to describe hands. KK means a pair of kings as your starting two cards. T9s means a ten and a nine of the same suit. K8o means a king and an eight of different suits. AJs means an ace and a jack of the same suit.

AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AKs, AKo, or AQs - RAISE

Don't worry about how many bets it already costs - just raise. Of course, if the betting is already capped, you can only call.

TT, 99, 88, 77, AQo, AJs, ATs, KQs, KQo, KJs, QJs - CALL or FOLD

If it's just one bet, then call. Once you've called one bet, then call however many more bets you must to see the flop. But if it's already two bets to you before you've put any money in the pot, don't call just fold.


All Other Hands - FOLD

This may seem like incredibly tight play, and it is. But you'll get the money this way. It will also give you time to watch the play of people around you and allow you to get comfortable with the game.
