Small pairs

[sibkaz]

There are so many hopes for them... and so often they fail) But the most disgusting thing is when you chip in front of the river and they come... With 1 BB you get interrupted, and with 2-3 BB, you have to bluff during the promotion... How are you acting?

The small pocket paire pre flop ae just like any pocket pair. I feel that they are only good if you connect. I should follow my own advice, As I am writing this I just got my pocket kk beat by pocket 44 that is simply because they hit, and I did not. Always remember if you pockets someone else has pockets also. Good luck

I don't like to play small pairs unless I'm well placed. The chance of taking a 3-bet is great

Short stack we will have two ways to play, which is fold and jam, playing against short ranges, the most recommended play is folding, against hide ranges the jam will be profitable. Deep stack is better to play flat, to hit trips, however, against villains who open and move a lot, playing 3-bet is profitable. In general, these pairs tend to be resolved in the pre, due to the fact that there is not good post flop playability, the only situations in which it will be good to play the po with these pairs is when we hit our set, or, when the board interacts. Ex: We have (44) flop 2 6 7, A 3 6...
