how to play small pairs

[stormswa]

this is from the other thread, I knew my 22 was no good preflop here but also knew if I hit the 2 I would stack the player.

good work dude, seriously. how did you finish?

 

[Lafaena]

when hees reraise is about 1/10 of your stack its a call given that the dude is not very aggressive/making alot of movers(then hell just fold on the flop with alot of hands making your setvalue less)
wp i proably would have just limped, but with your stacks i guess raising is good too. Would have been diffrent if your stacks wasnt so deep tough, woulda sucked to get raised of the deuces there.

good work dude, seriously. how did you finish?

final tabled as a medium stack, got down to 6 and hadnt gotten a hand yet and was short stack. Pushing in position with K9 got called by AT and I didnt improve. Won about $55 on $5 investment not great but ok.

 

[Chiefer]

nice, can't complain with that.

 

[stormswa]

yep

nice, can't complain with that.

in same tourney right now its fun running every single hand in these, just sucked out with 7s9s against JJ WEEEEEEEEE

 

[Chiefer]

what tourney are you playing?

hey, i want to say sorry about the other day, i was in a bad mood, and shouldn't have acted that way. i looked back at it and i can see you were just messing around. i like this forum and i don't want to make enemies, especially over something stupid.

i was thinking of starting another thread based on dorkus's alien post about who can come up with the most outrageous poker hand ever played. aliens included.
