Yesterday I was very confused about playing them on open school premier league, because over there are "tight" players . These can be the trickiest of opponents, because they are the hardest to get anything out of. So, learning how to deal with tight players is an essential poker skill. Please explain me some situations that you are involved in and how to win with such a hand ?

Against tight players you should definitely be setmining with lower pocket pairs (22-66). They should have at least 15-20 times bigger stack than the raise size. Also you could limp in late position (Button or cutoff), if you think you can get to see a flop for cheap, to hit a set. So you should primarily be looking to setmine with low pocket pairs, and if you aren't getting the right odds preflop to call, you should fold.

You're right mate, thank you very much, it's a good advice for all of us ! :)

Spot on nothing to add.

Sometimes i get in with 2 or 3s
When lots of ppl calling at pre flop i call too because i can hit some good hand and my opponents can have some 10+ in hand. Its risky but who not risk dont drink champagne

Don't get into a habit of limping to often in multi way pots as we have to hit a set to get paid as there's to many over cards beating us.

I such pockets of couples prefer to drop if you play against one player the chance to win 50 to 50, if more players then most likely someone will gather the best hand.

a pair like deuces have better odds in flop against any non pair so if pressed to play hand like deuces, it makes sense to be aggressive in preflop and a dry flop to shake others off.

With aggressive players I wouldnt play deuces or threes at all.

Well, i usually will call low pairs 2-7, depending on my opp and action before me and see if i set. Low pairs usually dont scare opp if hit the triplets, so it is a opportunity to take as many chips as you could. I dont see a raise preflop as a good option, cause if you're tribeted you're on a hard decision. Postflop if you managed to see flop cheap, go ahead if seted ot just fold. What i think its most important with low pairs is when we hit the set, we take the chips enough for the times we miss flop...

Playing 2s or 3s against tight players you would want to raise pre-flop, these hands are vulnerable to the flop, if you can get rid of some hands or even win with folding, it is a huge profit maker than just calling but only against tight players.

It is very important to remember that with pair 22 the victory is achieved only in two ways. The first way is to assemble the kit. The second way is bluffing. But before bluffing you need to soberly assess the situation. It is important to remember that the chances for a set with a pocket pair are lower than a player with higher cards for a couple or two pairs.
