How to Play King Ten in Poker

Texas Holdem – How to Play K10

Popularly called Katie(King Ten) or KT is a good hand to have as your starting poker hand. But it shouldn’t be overestimated as ten is just the borderline where the tail starts. More often than not, it is a good hand to fold and just observe the action but sometimes it can be playable based on your position and chip stack.

Only play in late position

The best poker tip for Katie is to play it only if in the cutoff or button positions. If you are hijack and are above table average in chips then you can play this hand. But any poker strategy will tell you to fold this hand and not call for trouble if playing it from early or middle position. Especially when discussing with respect to online poker, King Ten can simply be checked also when in big blind and everyone calls. But otherwise, do not call King ten simply because you like the look of the cards.
