Poker Tips #4...the flop defines your quality

4. The first 5/7 cards you receive will be the foundation of your hand. Build your strategy around these. You're not likely to better your opening hand. I believe that the odds of improving your hand on the draw are about even.

So obvious...So often forgotten, ignored and desperate prayers are made that it is not true. If the flop fits...terrific. If the flop makes a nut draw, continue carefully. But, say you have A,2,3, K in RAZZ. The flop comes A,2,3...This is frustrating, but it is not worth squat.

Reminds me of the song, "Hey, Little Goldfish" from an unforgettable (I have tried) movie from my youth, "Hello Down There"...
