well jscrons, i can honestly say i run into very similar problems with these high pocket pairs, but i tend to change the way i play them. First time i see JJ QQ KK or AA in a long tournament, i like to come in for a nice steady raise, approximately 3 to 4 times the big blind. Usually this tends to weed out some people, but especially online you know a 67 suited or 89 suited is still in the hand. So when the flop comes you have to analyze what they could be holding, by paying attention in previous pots theyve been involved. Although its hard to get away from one of these hands like sunnypoker said it might just be Aces after the community cards are out there. its the same as having AJ and the flop comes A 5 9 then K and K, you have to remember youre beat by K2 or any K in this situation so be careful and try to not get married to these high pocket pairs, and i promise you wont lose as many chips. |
