  Trash hands are the bane of any player. There's something awful about all your plans being turned to mush because of a single bad hand. Trash hands are not the end of the world, however, sometimes they hide the potential for gold.



  Playing a trash hand is one of those things that everyone will recommend against doing. Indeed, it's not a very wise decision. Trash hands will lose you money way more often than they will win it for you. Unless you're really good at bluffing, playing a trash hand is basically handing everyone else your chips.



  But not always. Sometimes, trash hands hide gold. This comes from how they develop. Even the trashiest hand has a chance to develop into something useful or something good. The trick is to figure out whether or not it will develop into something worth your time and money.



  If you consider your outs, you will often see that this isn't the case. Most trash hands simply don't hold a decent enough chance of developing into something worth spending money on, but every once in a while, a hand that looks like trash actually holds a lot of potential.



  Deciding on whether or not to explore this potential is a matter of deciding whether or not it's worth your chips. Doing so depends on how the other players are betting, and if you can get in on the cheap.



  Sometimes, you can turn around your trash, and you should never just throw it out before checking your possibilities.
