Video overview.

The third hand history review video by James "SplitSuit" Sweeney. There are 10 hands at $25NL FR with the theme being "premium hands". The starting hands are either AA, KK, AK or any other two broadway or pocket pair.

This isn't designed to be the ultimate guide to playing premium hands in Texas Hold'em, but it will give you a clear insight in to what you should be thinking about when trying to get the most from your premium hands. You're probably already making money with these hands, but SplitSuit will show you where you could be making more.

A lot of the strategy in this video revloves around maximizing value and optimal bet sizing. SplitSuit also covers playing these types of hands both in position and out of position.

As with the first two HH review videos(HH Review 1 and HH Review 2), this vid makes good use of player stats (mostly VPIP/PFR) to help with the decision making process. It would be worth brushing up on those stats or watching HUD Ninja if you're not already familiar with them.
