King-queen, King-jack, Queen-jack, Ace-ten & some other poker hands are defectively overvalued by learners and beginning players. They are referred to as trap hands as they come out as a best hand but they are in fact simply high suited or unsuited connectors that most players aren’t alert of it.

The learning player will be dealt King-Queen and will possibly believe that it is one of the best hands they can get dealt with. They could not be more mistaken. Star poker players who like to play online poker or offline with tight and smart approach, possibly do not yet hold king-queen on their list of opening hand priorities and if they make it’s only if they are in very late table position after they have learnt the rest of the tells in the table.

These poker hands must indeed be treated like 9-8s, 10-9s and other suited connectors, the solitary dissimilarity is that they are high in poker card ranking; however, they do not commit the error of playing them similar to a best hand as they are not.

Let us explain with an example. You are dealt K-Q suited, which for the most part is the maximum rated “trap” hand, and call one more player’s raise (this player was positioned under the gun, straightly left of the big blind and also the raise was 3x the big blind).

This raise was called by you when placed in 2nd position straightly left of the raiser. The primary fault was calling a raise with this hand in early position, while a player raises in early position they are representing a great amount of strength and poker assumption tells that to call their raise you will have to work with a hand of the same or superior strength.
