What if you are on the button and everyone checks do you try to take the hand preflop and if anyone trys to be the sheriff you know that youve got a medium pair all ready giving pretty good odds to beat him?
So far pockets have been evil to me. Ive gotten pocket aces and was so excited i tryed slow playing it ending up losing to trips. Next time i had it i didnt raise enough i guess and was forced to fold when to 4 hearts came up on the board.
My pair of 4s too hit the set on the flop and then try to slow play it and lost again to a flush.
I was thinking of just taking the pot pre-flop just to be safe.

Thanks.
