Why did we go through the exercise of writing, "I always fold..' for almost every hand in poker? Two reasons. One, you need you face those hands that you like playing but shouldn't play. Second, when you eliminate ever hand you fold from a poker deck, what are you left with? Only the hands you play.
Why is it important to isolate your game to just the hands you play? Because to be a performance poker player you need to know EXACTLY how you play these hands for every situation. Can you do that for 75 hands? NO! Can you do it for 25 hands? Maybe but it's hard. But you can do it for 19 hands. And if you're following the performance poker plan in this book, then that's how many hands you play preflop. Just 19!! Remember one of the questions in Step 1 was "what hands you do play preflop and how do you play them?" after this section you'll be able to tell anyone, anywhere, for any situation preflop what hands you play and why. By the end of this book you will be able to EXECUTE a performance poker strategy that will earn you money month after month after month in increasing stakes; however you want to make it.
So what are the 19 hands?

Exercise: In your own words write down what you've learned from each of these hands and how they are played. Think about them; imagine playing them if you can. Pick one hand from each group and pretend to play it against a hand in another group. For instance if I have AA and I have AK, what would the preflop betting between me and me look like? QQ vs. AK, KQ vs. AK, 88 vs. JJ. This will help you see why you play hands certain ways. Our next section is about "Conversations" - that is to say how bets and raises and calls TELL you what the other person is saying, and how you can respond appropriately.
