LOW POCKET PAIRS...
so tempting to play... and yet so dangerous.
In a tournament, an all in with one of these babies can result in a 50/50, and a good double up since the blinds are upped so quickly. However, in a cash game, I DONT WANT TO RISK MY MONEY ON 50/50's (unless i am committed in some way).
Now low pocket pairs... how do i play them?
Everything from 22 to TT is so hard for me to play. Do I raise or just call? I usually just call in late position and hope that I hit a set, or btab at the pot when it is checked to me or if my opponents show weakness in some way. If you don't make your set and overcards hit, what do u do?
Again, I'm playing at low stakes NL .05/.10 blinds, so I get many callers and one of them is guarenteed to have me beat! I'm just folding them now. Sometimes when I raise 5x BB (with 1010) , I still get 3 callers, and I'm afraid to bet cuz it has led to nasty situations before.
These pairs just lose me money, someone please help!
