ACE Queen or low pockets (8's lower)

If I had continued playing, I would have lost to AK. He played it too forcefully, I just didn't want to invest. luckily, someone else played something shitty so I got to see his cards.

With low pockets i will ONLY call it is unraised before the flop. I do this because there is the chance that you are going to hit trips on the flop. IF it is a minumum raise early in the tournament i will consider calling, but if it is a big raie i will lay them down immidieatly. As far as ace queen goes, i will probally raise before the flop trying to steal the blinds or do otherwise.

DONT PLAY SMALL POCKET PAIRS ON FULLTILT!!!!! I guarentee you an ace will hit, and you will go broke, it happens everytime, trust me!

Low pairs can cause you trouble. I usually fold them if I'm in early position and call to a small blind in late position. The problem comes when you don't make a set and you continue to chase a hand. Also, I have seen many people lose to a higher set. Just because you have 3 of a kind doesn't mean someone else doesn't have it too.
