Playing a Big Pair Early Position

playing a big pair early position

I will always limp in to see what is out there. ok good you believe me right. really 2 or 3 times the blind is my standard play with big pairs.

depending. should mix the game to you harder to read. If a lot of fish at the table and I hold AA or KK sometimes just limp and waiting for someone to make rise. Then begins Showtime

yeahh I always limp in to see the flop then I decide how I want to play my hand

Pretty much always make 3x raises with qq-aa in early positions.

I´dont know how toplay it, but i play it betting six times the BB, i prefer nobody in the hand and win the only the blinds, than weak hands looking the Flop for nothing...

If I have a big pair on my hands and I'm in early position, I usually call and wait

If I have a big pair on my hands and I'm in early position, I usually call and wait for players who are after me to raise, then I re-raise and thus collect the maximum pot. It all depends on what kind of table you play, aggressive or passive. If the table is aggressive, then it is advisable to simply call. And if the table is passive, then you need to raise, no matter what position you are in.
