Pocket Pairs:
You'll be dealt
pocket pairs only 5.88%
of the time! Here are pocket pair rules to abide by:
- 88 or less
- u must limp in preferably in late position with 7 callers.
- small pairs in early position must be
folded unless implied odds are correct and it's a very loose passive
table.
- JJ or higher
pairs - u should raise/re-raise in early position. If an overcard
flops; a semi-bluff is worth trying here against tight-weak
players.
- It's
2 to 1 against someone else
(full ring) being dealt pocket holecards at the same time as you.
- It's
9 to 1 against that
same opponent having 99 or higher pocket
pairs while you also have
pocket pairs.
- It's a
22 to 1 against catching a Set
on the Turn - so be prepared to fold to all re-raises!
