How to play small pairs

#1 September 1st, 2016, 8:05 PM

There are two basic strategies to play them before the flop call, or raise.
The advantage of making a climb is that will reduce the number of players who go to the flop. Even if you're alone with an opponent, you have two overcards to your partner, which takes away many options on the flop. If your opponent does not bind on the flop, this strategy works, but are you willing to bet your chips for it?
The bet with small pairs in these positions also has its disadvantages, the most obvious is that you will most likely find with a rise of one of the players left to act. Although it depends on the size of the rise, it is almost always correct her. If climbing is in late position, it may be an attempt to steal the blinds, and you've already invested chips in the pot so unless the increase is greater than 3 times the big blind, it will be worth putting more tabs to link your trio (which happen once in 8).

I'm with small pairs act differently. It depends on the raise put before me. Most of all, I just throw in allyn.

I think it's worth investing some chips in these small pairs, as the villains put us in a higher range ( AK-AQ-AJ,etc ).
And if we could connect our set, get much value from these hands, if we do not simply invest no more. Depending on the flop and players.

Some people just have no clue when they're showing their ass. It's just their way of saying, "Hey! look at me! I'm ignorant, and you probably shouldn't pay me any mind!"

And I'm sure any number of the women here that play poker (including our site admin: dakota-xx) could probably handle their own just fine against this guy at the table. How to play small pairs

Friend I think your comment is beside the topic being discussed and is something racist and talk like women, who are the beings that give us joys and pleasures.
* And above its beauty they are very intelligent but is hard to admit they are more cunning than men. How to play small pairs

There is not a basic concept to play with small pairs, you have to establish a range of hands for a given tournament, players, game pos floop, c bet, everything is determined as the tournament evolves ....

#12 September 5th, 2016, 12:19 PM

I adhere to the strategy described Veronica. I think it works well.In general there are a lot of scenarios, and each requires specific action

Nothing is better than beating an AA or AK with a small pair , getting the third card with the flop How to play small pairs

I agree with call/check option!

#14 September 5th, 2016, 3:23 PM

If everybody fold before the flop, then certainly the cost to enter with a raise in 2, 2.5 big blinds, if there's already a limp or a raise, then press call )

#15 September 5th, 2016, 4:48 PM

I like to open raise and occasionally cbet heads up. Just have to be careful to not continue too far.

SIR this is absolutely NOT racist. Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior to another. This is maybe sexism, but surely is NOT racism.

#17 September 5th, 2016, 5:09 PM

In some cases I get all-in in other call or raise.

#18 September 5th, 2016, 6:19 PM

Check, or call if you are in a late position. How much is in the pot and how much will it cost you to play? The odds of making a set are about 8/1.

Hits him with me shoe.

If I am opening I will raise 2.5x my usual OR size, if I see a 3bet then I will use call 20 against a tight player or call 15 against a loose player. If facing a bet I will just call hoping to hit my set.

Yes! I would do it like you.

#23 September 5th, 2016, 10:56 PM

Questions like this have the same answer, well almost How to play small pairs

but roughly 80% same answer, it all depends on your opponent position, player tendencies, chip stacks, and format of the game u r playing, when u play a table say an hour, u would bring decisions a lot faster coz u already have all that info in your hand, and if u pay enough attention on what going on your table u would know if your small pocket pair is good or not to put your chips all in How to play small pairs

#24 September 5th, 2016, 11:48 PM

Some players push all in. It's very risky.. some players play it care fully. If You don't take the Set on the flop, It's hard to make a strong hand. I usually call or check with small pairs. In case of bigger raise, quick fold. Simple.

#30 September 6th, 2016, 11:27 PM

I open rise preflop, and see the flop, if i dont take a set then CBet to see the turn, if someone else raise to me, i fold.
If i can see the other street pay cheap i gonna go for it, playing carefull.

#31 September 7th, 2016, 12:05 AM

Check is the ideal move for a small pair.If not the BB then I would only call a raise on the button (so I can see how many players are betting and who is raising) if the raise is no more then 2 times the BB.Folding with a small pair is usually best preflop for me,I tend to never flop a set the last few days How to play small pairs

#32 September 7th, 2016, 1:25 AM

Usually i play my small pairs one of two ways... if im deep stacked 30+bb i like to try and have a multi way pot... my theory is if u hit a set 33%of the time and u got 2 or more people in the pot with you then its a win win now when im small stacked say lower than 12bb maybe 15bb depending on the pair im just open shoving for the most part

#33 September 14th, 2016, 6:40 AM

In late game i think you must play them like 90% of the time because if you have like 10 BB you don't know if you will get anything stronger. If you have like 10 BB it's all-in, if you have like 25-50 BB it's raise.

#34 September 14th, 2016, 7:01 AM

Sometimes 3bet is fine option too, especially in position. But as others hands, I dont like set-mining without position, because it is sometimes not easy to get value from your set.

#35 September 14th, 2016, 10:16 AM

Usually call if all players limps... If not, fold

#36 September 14th, 2016, 10:53 AM

Always like to see a cheap flop if possible. It feels good when that 3rd one hits the board. BUT you got to be careful!!

#37 September 14th, 2016, 1:02 PM

I'm so afraid when I am to play pocket pairs . I'ts making a set or overpair on flop or fold most of the times .I really need to learn playing better with them, raising when necessary , not get scared on flop if there is an overcard/paintcard on flop . I really need to study/learn more .
