| Re: You raise with what?? I'll raise with any pair (deuces included) regardless of position. It scares away those just trying to limp in. If I get re-raised, it's easy to fold. And if it doesn't hit on the flop, it's easy to get away from.
A LOT of people seem to go all in with any pocket pair. Crazy.
And I have to agree with 63 - I've won a bunch of hands with that. I've saved my tournament life a couple times with it. On BB, short stack, not enough to cover the SB next hand or whatever... so I'm all in with 63.
Hit a wheel once. Hit trip 3s another time.
But in general, I'm with hachkc - it's fold or raise most of the time. Once I decide to play a hand, if it's good enough to play, it's good enough to raise. Gotta try to knock out some crap before the flop. |
