Learn to play unsuited, unconnecting cards.
10-5 Offsuit, Best Hand in Poker
Have you ever thought, how do professional poker players make so much money playing poker?
Here is how, they all have a secret “weapon” that they keep to there self’s. You won’t find this in any poker theory book that they have wrote. So I’m going to tell you what it is. 10-5 offsuit!
All pro-poker players know this is the best hand in poker, why you may ask?
With this hand you have the ability to hit all straights, A-2-3-4-5 or 3-4-5-6-7 or 6-7-8-9-10 even 10-J-Q-K-A, any straight you can think of contains either a 5 or a 10. So you now you can see some of the reasons Pro’s play this hand, but there’s more. You might not know this, but you can hit 2 pair with 10-5, if a 10 and a 2 comes there you go 2 pair.
Another thing Amatuar poker players don’t know is, with 10-5 you have twice as many chances of hitting trips than you would if you had, say pocket Kings. With Kings you only have the chance of hitting Trip Kings.
Where as 10-5 has twice as many chances of hitting Trips. As you can hit Trip 5’s or Trip 10’s.
So now you see the benifits of playing 10-5. Now imagine all that power you have with 10-5, now unsuited.
You have all the power 10-5 has but now twice as many chances at hitting a flush, making 10-5 unsuited almost unbeatable.
Unless some idiot hits “lucky” with his suited A-K !


This is the worse advise ever!
I lost over 20k playing 10 5 o
You’r all donks!
Oh My Gee…..10-5 Offsuit was my signature hand. If in the big blind and not raised I never lost with this hand until the first Ladies WPO Event. Here is my story: Heads up against Lucy and me sitting there holding 10-5 offsuit in BB. I am thinking this is my pot before I even see the flop.

Report by Don Larrimore
Lucy Rokach, a respected British poker professional and former history teacher, captured the WPO’s Women’s Limit Hold’em Championship, outlasting an almost entirely American field.
“I’m in shock,” said Rokach, “because I do not play limit poker. In Europe I play pot limit.” A pro for 15 years, she won major titles last year in Paris and Birmingham, England and has had two final-table finishes at the World Series.
Her victory came after a key hand in which she limped in from the small blind with 8-6 of clubs. She then made a river flush to cripple chip leader Anita Estep who had flopped three tens. Estep, administrator for the poker room at the Horseshoe next door to the Gold Strike WPO venue, said she felt, “bitter-sweet” about this her biggest tournament win in two years of playing poker. “I’m so happy I got to the final table, even more second place against a champion,” she said. “But I wanted to win so badly – but look who beat me!”
I am still whining about this beat almost ten years later, only because I did not struggle to make second place…..I freakin’ lost first place.
Why I work in a poker room for a living. Sure can’t rely on my poker play for food.
Lucy was a gracious winner and this goes without saying…a good poker player as well.
