Here is the Solution.
The HTML:
<table id="someID">
<tr><td>example text</td></tr>
<tr><td>example text</td><td>example text</td></tr>
<tr><td>example text</td></tr>
<tr><td>example text</td><td>example text</td></tr>
</table>
The CSS:
table tr:nth-child(2) {display : none;}
table tr:nth-child(3) {display : none;}
You have to use :nth-child() to hide the rows that you desire.
As most of the :nth-child() will not work for older browsers, here is the Solution for them.
The HTML:
<table id="someID">
<tr><td>example text</td></tr>
<tr><td>example text</td><td>example text</td></tr>
<tr><td>example text</td></tr>
<tr><td>example text</td><td>example text</td></tr>
</table>
The CSS:
table tr:FIRST-CHILD + tr {
display:none;
}
table tr:FIRST-CHILD + tr + tr {
display:none;
}
Hope this helps now.
