Traffic Lights: Green, Amber and Red are
used to rank and weight 2-card hands based on probabilities of winning games. The system gives each card a score.
Extra points are given for:
Pairs, Suited and Connected cards.
This is justified because it increases the Ways-of-Winning and the number of outs. A pair-in-the-hand often wins the game. Having
Suited Cards increases
the chances of a Flush. Connected Cards increase the chances of a straight. Having two Court Cards
increases the chances of getting a high pair.
Generally any pair with one card <7, except A & K is a poor bet , with Q & J combinations only worthy for 2-3 players.
Number of Ways of winning is an extra consideration which is incorporated into the bonus scores system for pairs connected and suited and all A cards. The scoring system is based on the probabilities of winning with a hand of two cards.
See Resources for analysis of how the hand scores relate to the probabilities.
These Traffic Lights Rules is related to the Thrice is Nice Rule-of-Thumb.
RULE: => Both cards >7 => A6-A2 suited => K6-K2 suited, => Pairs and Adjacent >7 (late 4 or less players ALL Pairs), => A&B with 5 to 2 kicker play with 4 or less players;
=> When 4 or less players becomes shoot-out A-C, ALL pairs, ALL suited combos;
Play weaker cards later if pre-bet prominent. TOP PAIRS + AK, AQ => 2 BB prebet.
NOTE: There are 169 possible two-card combos that can be dealt. Of these about 30 meet the criteria below (>7) => about 1:5 deals.
NOTE: equal >7 key principles: 2 > midrange cards, with kickers for each other, 2 bestpair options double the chances; confidence to bet as beats half of small kickers.
NB Low A,K,Q kickers <7 hard to bet with unless 3 or fewer opponents. equal >7 pairs and connected similar principles => beats lower 50%.

=> Both cards >7 (early & late) - mid A, K, Q10, only ) (Suited a bonus). Late focus on A, K, Q.
=> Get early boost – Str&flush! + Pre-bet to reduce competition or pos – cost are much lower, early!
=> Number of players is critical – natural or via pre-bet – reduce competition, less uncertainty about rags. Early rounds far too much competition => gun hands only +Str&flush. Use natural few players and late play Pre-bet to fold the limpers. Once called limpers will re-call early not go!
=> Early position requires very good cards A, K, Q10, only – tight range with Pre-bet for larger ones, and Pre-bet to steal. Suited cards do better than expected, especially for All-In => flush.
=> Mostly bet from the button or one before with a pre-bet for very good hands – only play 1 in 5 hands. Don’t call re-raise against single pair => there is a set for sure or two pair.
=> Pairs and Adjacent >7 Early (Suited a bonus); all later; 2,3,4,5 adjacent worth playing.
=> A6-A2 suited & K6-K2 suited +All Pairs (late with 4 or less players)
=> When 4 or less players, late in game, becomes shoot-out with
A, K, Q, ALL pairs, ALL suited combos, less straights and flushes;
=> Pre-bet TOP PAIRS AA, KK, QQ, AK, AQ => 2-3 BB – Early Need very large 5 BB to induce folds for AA, BB, etc. BUT Pre-bets builds the stack so you win more. Late in game Pre-bets work better as => induces folds but can be risky. Steal the blinds with Pre-bet from Gun position.
=> Use bet of half stack, rather than ALL-IN if in doubt to get only 1-2 others playing. Suited =>Allin
=> Flush seems to predominate ALL-IN outcomes; First to raise wins generally for the flop!!!
=> To bet with two over-cards look for flop with mixed suits, no pairs, no connected cards, any player betting before you probably has nothing. Mostly bet small, big to kill progress, if winner!
=> Early - straights & flushes less affected by # of players going for doubles, singles and triples.
=> Call more A to J Suited 5, 6, 7, 8 ++ 2, 3, 4, 5 suited connected pairs (early cheap)
=> Play every match-up to formula + Close misses. Also go for it => watch for bluff on ‘might haves’
=> Very seldom call a big raise, they will raise back = > you have no information. Gun hand only.

PokerRoom.com released the profit/loss statistics from 122,031,244 of Limit Texas Hold'em hands played at their online poker room. The table below lists the actual results for all card combinations for those 122 million hands. PokerRoom didn't specify any disclaimers. The numbers represent pocket cards dealt in real money limit ring games regardless of the number of players, and including when players are in the big blind unraised.
The results rank the 2-start cards by "average profit in big bets".
K8s and K7s are the only oddball breakeven hands. Every other winning hand is contains either Broadway cards, pairs, or has a suited Ace or are two suited cards in the J-T-9-8 range. A9s is a very profitable +0.18 while A9o is an unprofitable -0.03. Suited-ness is a big deal for mediocre cards, and the nuts aspect of suited-ness is very helpful to mediocre players. This is also reflected in the superiority of J8s and 87s (smallish losers) to hands like J5s or 84s (much bigger losers).
There is a basic winning approach to the game that can easily be explained to a newbie... play any two cards ten or bigger and raise if they are paired or suited, also play pairs bigger than 55, as well as Ace-suited hands. As shown below for cards that are profitable (shown in dark green) - These simple rules include only two losing hands, QTo and JTo in the stats, while missing out on suited hands including an 9 or 8, extending beyond 10. Advanced Limit Texas Hold'em play includes a lot of other considerations like adjusting hand value for position
The >7 approach extends this approach with weaker hands including 7, 8, 9 being played when there are fewer players. Also focusing on the shoot-out with A and K single cards withe fewer players

JT and other straights become less important - it is a 'Shoot-out'. Flushes still important
