I got a question about pps, since I get the impression people here play them differently than I tend to do.
Generally AA-JJ will be a preflop raise for me, TT is kind of a toss-up, and 99-22 I generally call with (preferably from later position). Only with 99-77 will I consider calling a small raise, the others I will throw away when facing a preflop raise. And for 99-22, if I don't get a set on the flop I'll toss them.
But I'm thinking there might be different ways to play them that I'm not aware of. Because I've been seeing posts where people call bigger raises with them, or raise preflop etc. So I'm a bit confused.
I could think of the following scenario: I raise 4BB with 55. I get one caller. Flop is 248. Now my opp will probably have overcards to the flop, so another 1/2-3/4 pot raise might be a good idea. Is that good play or a long shot and as such bad?
Any input welcome.
