Many people have trouble playing these hands, and I don't see why. All that's required is a bit of careful observation during the preflop betting rounds and these are really quite simple.

-After you look at your cards, pay close attention to the players in early position. If one or more of them folds, make a "mental note" of where they put their cards.
-When the action gets to you, put your cards there.
-If no one has folded by the time it gets to you, just push them toward the center, or ask the dealer where the "muck" is.

That's all.
