Sequence cards:

    Sequence cards can sometimes be better than pocket pairs as long as they are Eight/Nine or better. I would recommend that you not play any lower straight unless you are a blind and have no choice - or unless you have established yourself early in the game. Which brings me to mention, blinds usually end up winning big pots by playing low straights.
 

    Beware of a big or small blind betting on a possible straight flop. More often that not, they actually have it. A Jack/Ten is one of the best possible straight hands to hold due to the odds of making the straight on a draw, as well as having a no loose straight hand if it hits. I usually play open ended straights with a high probability to win more often than I do pairs. Straights win more times than you would think when playing online Texas Holdem!
