 Problems with high pocket pairs...i kno i sound stupid
High pocket pairs (QQ KK AA) are obviously the best starting hand and it is a great feeling to see these hands. However, It sometimes feels like I end up going out on one of these hands ( usually kings or aces) instead of winning a pot. No, Im not talking about a slowplay, but I'm talking about a standard pre flop raise and it always seems to take you out of a tournament or going broke in a ring game. I make this mistake less often after playing for a while, but I still run into the problem. I typically win bigger pots w/ suited connectors or by making a good read. This is a problem for people who get attached and excited about these hands(I'm obviously guilty too). My advice is to be cautious yet aggressive and make sure you put together proper evidence to find out your opponents hands instead of thinking about your great PRE FLOP hand. |
