I know the main page says to call only small raises of around .50 cents with a low pocket pair such as 2's, 3's, and 4's, but I wanted to get everyone elses oppinion.

I think that this is a major leak in my game, as I will call any raise from any position pre-flop with a pocket pair. The implied odds, with the deception and the power of the hand, are so great that I just have to call. And there's the possibility that I will go on tilt if that three I've been looking for for weeks finally comes and I folded it.

What is everyone oppinion on playing small pocket pairs against a decent raise of 2-3 dollars and up?

yep, i know the feeling. I almost have to see the flop with small pocket pairs.

Of course there are exceptions. I'll drop to large pre-flop raises ( 1 bet over $2) i would call a raise of $.50 to make it $1 to go, and up to a $1 bet after that. (bit of a leak here I know but thats me)

or even a small raise from a rock.

Nothing makes me laugh more than taking down pair'd up big slick with a set of 3's. (ok its more of a laugh to relieve the nervous tension from playing a hand like that)


Hey, first post

I've been reading the info here for a few months and following hte action on the fourms. Just haven't had any decent input yet

 Fold preflop.

Cold calling is bad.

Nice hand history but it doesn't illustrate the point. Above, all the $ went in preflop and opponent had by far the better hand.

I like to call any raise up to 4-5xs BB with any pocket pair preflop.
Send lawyers, guns and money - the sh*t has hit the fan!
