What is a poor starting hand in Poker and what is an example? A poor starting hand means your first two hole cards together make a weak hand.Like if you are dealt the 2♣ 2♦, called "deuce-deuce", it's a terrible starting hand with little chance to win. Having a poor starting hand is frustrating.Even if you play perfectly, you'll likely fold and lose your antes and blinds.But smart players with experience minimize losses with poor initial hands by carefully checking,calling and folding instead of raising too much with weak cards.
