You’ve finally decided on which online poker room to play at, funded your account and found a table that suits you. The blinds are posted and your hole cards are dealt to you. When the action comes around to you, two other players have already raised the pot. What do you do now? Do you raise? Call? Fold?

As a beginner there are many things that you will want to consider when deciding to play a hand. First off, as a beginner, do you have one of the best hands? In the scenario above where the pot has already been raised twice before you even get a chance to act you should figure that someone has one of the best starting hands. If you don’t have a pair of Aces or Kings, I would seriously think about folding.
