Let me know if there's any good stuff in the GA or a COTW on 2+2.
Pretty much everyone knows how to play AA/ KK/ QQ. Make overpair-bet.
same for small pocket pairs 22-88-make set-bet.
But in between are 3 pocket pairs that are too valuable too set mine but rarely make an overpair.
from my sample of 130k hands you can see below that there is a substantial difference 88 & 99.
Wondering how you guys play these.
Typically preflop I will 3 bet these pairs against all except nits.
If I am OOP and get 3bet I will generally fold, altough I will 4 bet JJ (sometimes even TT) against villains I suspect are light 3bettors. (When I 4bet I typically bet 25-30bb in a HU pot).
If I am OOP I c-bet almost 100% of all boards.
If I was the original raiser and a loose villain calls from the blinds I will generally flat a donk bet and if they check the turn, I'll check behind. If they check the River, I typically will bet 1/3 of the river for value hoping to get a little value out of all those Ace rag hands that flop a pair with their kicker.
The questions I have are:
What to do when my 3bet gets called and I am IP after the flop? Both on flops that have one over card (Q76) or one 1 high card and 2 low? (A84?)
and
What to do when I am OOP, I c-bet, get called and their are overs to my pocket pair? and what happens when a scare card hits the turn?
any other advice you might have playing these
thanks
