| Calling with pocket pairs after missing the flop In cash games, when the pot is usually 8-10BB's after the flop and maybe some feeler bets out there, how much are you willing to call when you did not make your set? For example you have 44 and the board is 27A rainbow. No straight or flush possibilities. How much are you willing to invest against generally deep stacks to try and make your set on the turn? |

| re: Calling with pocket pairs after missing the flop poker Yeah, I don't think I'd be investing anything to make my set. How much/if I was to call at all would depend on the action before the flop, and whether I put the opponent on an ace, or whether I put them on something that they could be pushed off of, like a similar hand to ours (small pair). If I was to call, it would only really be to take the pot down on the turn.. |

| Depends on position. If in late position, maybe a 2bb bet will scare off others (providing there is a big card on the board so they think you paired) Otherwise, you will likely get called by someone that has big cards in their hand. In early position, your bluff is risky, as someone behind you may have actually hit and now can slow play you |

| re: Calling with pocket pairs after missing the flop poker If you don't hit your set on the flop, give up on hitting a set. You need 25:1 pot odds to chase (12.5:1 if you can see turn/river without there being another bet on the turn), if your opponent bets that small then it's a big sign of weakness and it's probably best to just raise. |

| Seems like a losing hand from the beginning Agree with most of these posts. It really stinks to have a small pocket pair that costs you a ton of chips. Steal the blinds, or take a shot after the flop. After that punt, unless your real adventurous. |
