Hey, I'm hoping to get some advice about playing medium pocket pairs. I would say I've a decent understanding of basic pre and post flop play with them, and I don't get into too much trouble when over cards come, but what I have a hard time with is when I've raised pre, with JJ or 10,10 say, and the board comes with both a draw and an over card. With an over, I'd be trying to get to showdown cheap. With a draw but no over cards, I'd be betting to charge the potential draw.
But I got in trouble today in a micro MTT, still early and very deep, when I had JJ in the SB and raised pre against 1 limper. The other guy limp called pre, but was playing something stupid like 45/10 stats, so any 2 broadways, any 2 suited cards, any Ax basically. So I didnt have a feel for whether high cards or suited connectors were more in his range. Flop came Qh 4h 3s. Do I bet to charge the draw or slow down to get to show down in case of a pair of Q's? Any tips?
Thanks.
