Confused about which hands you should lead out with in a limit ring game? Phil Gordon has a great chart on his Expert Insight: Final Table Poker website that clearly defines which cards he believes you should raise (or fold) with, depending on your position in the hand.

It is important to note though, the chart is based on playing a 6-handed ring game and applies only if you are the first player to enter the pot. If other players have called or raised before you, you may have to adjust your play accordingly. Either way, it is a great reference for those new to the game, or for those that could use a reminder every now and then.

You can access the chart through the 'read' link below.
