Although a lot of people argue against, it generally increases your chances to be against fewer players rather the more. I like a small pre-flop raise especially in position, but there has to be certain factors for me to enter the pot. My stack size, my table image my position, the style of the other players at the table and how my last few hand were perceived. Are you playing online or live? online players will chase with almost anything making it harder to play a small pair correctly, in general see a cheap flop and let it go if you don't hit or have very poor flop texture. Many other factors could affect this as well I just listed a few of the major ones from my perspective. |
