It's easy to find charts and lists online and in books that will lay out for you the best Texas Hold'em hands and of course, the worst. Because the worst thing a poker player can do is to play every hand, players do have to be discriminating as to which hands they will play, and so there is value in knowing which hands are the best Texas Hold'em hands, as opposed to which ones you should immediately fold.

However, there are other variables that must also be taken into consideration, or you may risk playing too few hands. The position you are playing relative to the button or dealer is one of those variables.
If you are in early position; that is, one of the first three players to the left of the big blind, you need a much stronger starting hand than if you are in middle or late position. This is because there are more chances for raises when there are more players playing after you.
Observation is your best friend at the poker table, even when you're not playing the hand. Watch everything that is going on and when you do fold, play the game out in your mind so you'll be aware of the best hand you could've made. By doing this, you'll quickly learn which hands to fold and which ones you should've played.
The best Texas Hold'em hands can be made when a variety of circumstances are present. Nothing beats experience, though, to determine which hands these are.
