Tips & Warnings
Irish Hold Em is a game where you need to make a decision early on about which hole cards you will use in your hand. You must decide on a hand you are trying for and “go for it” after the flop.
When making your bets in Irish Hold Em, bet as if you are playing 7 card stud, and 5 card stud after the flop. Your opportunities for big hands are not nearly the same as in games which give you more options for choosing your hole cards.
