The strongest of the Texas Holdem starting hands is what poker enthusiasts refer to as the American Airlines, bullets or pocket rockets and these are pocket Aces or a pair of aces. You can also play tight and aggressively early in the game if you pick up a pair of kings, which are also referred to as cowboys or King Kong.
Other top starting hands that can give you the confidence to make bets in any round of Texas Holdem poker include a pair of queens (also called ladies or bitches), suited ace-king or the big slick, suited ace-queen (also called the little slick and sometimes, the big chick), a pair of jacks (also referred to as fishhooks, hooks or Captain Hook), suited king-queen or the royal couple, suited ace-jack or the blackjack or Ajax, and the ace-king off-suit.
Picking up a pair of tens can also be to your advantage. Pocket tens might not be face cards but they can come out strong on a round of poker, especially if your poker face does not waver and you know how to place your bets well.
Keep in mind that holding the strongest Texas Holdem starting hands is no guarantee that you will ultimately win the pot. You still need to consider another part of the equation, which is your ability to play your cards well. If you play too loosely, you will just waste the opportunity of picking up strong starting hands.
