Yet another newb question....

Just wondering about your starting hand selection ... do you like to play a A-3 and if so how much other help do you want to go along with it? Suited? Paired?

Anyway ... just wondering.

Yes, whether it be limit or pot limit, suited or not. Just be weary of there's a lot of raising going on preflop.

It's common for new players to think in terms of 2 card combinations such as A2 or A3.This is a bad habit to form.Begin right away thinking in terms of all 4 cards.I would much rather have AK43 than A972 myself.

Just to clarify, you prefer the near-naked A2 because of the low possibility and not due to anything the 79 brings to the hand?

7-9 brings something, in that a flop that allows you to continue will often make a str draw w/ the 7-9. I just think the A2 will be more playable postflop.
