Many a poker player has used a poker hands chart to help him or her learn the game.  These charts can be extremely helpful when you are studying the game, playing online or analyzing previous game play.  However, when you're actually playing live face-to-face poker, there's no time to consult a chart and no chart can be 100% accurate as to the present condition of the game you're currently playing.  If you play poker online at UltimateBet.com you can use your hand chart while playing online since there is a set time limit which allows you time to reference a poker hand chart. It's an absolute given that you must first understand the poker hands chart relative to the ranking of poker hands before you even sit down at the table.  Since poker players have to make split second decisions, there can be no question in your mind as to which hand outranks another.

You can also find a poker hands chart that details the best and worst starting hands, especially when it comes to Texas Hold'em, the most popular poker game today.  What the pros know about these charts, however, is that they exist as a guide and not an absolute.  If you merely follow these charts without any thought as to how many opponents there are, the position you are playing and many other variables, you'll likely find that these charts aren't always valuable.

Books and lists of poker hands charts can be a real asset to the novice player when regarded as a guide and not an absolute.  There will always be starting hands that will make you smile and those that make you wince.  Then there are those starting hands that beg for the flop to determine whether or not to play the hand.  Common sense, study, and most of all, experience will be the best teachers when it comes to poker.
