Fold.. plain and simple why would you try to play a hand that you know your drawing to 2 outs. If they don't make a big raise preflop but somehow you put them on aa/kk/qq You could see if you can flop a set but why would you want to pay to see a flop that you have 12%ish change of hitting. The only thing is on ap/ub hitting a set seems to happen more often there atleast for me than most sites so if I can I will see a flop with any pocket pair I will but still try to see it as cheap as I can, I can always get my chips after the flop if I do hit the hidden set.

lol fold is very difficult when you have this hand ... we can not guess what happen ... feeling is good in this moments

? I am happy to fold pocket pairs, if i know the opponent well and have a good read on them - i often just limp in with 2s,3s,4s

Depends on stack sizes.

If I am certain they have KK and not AA, I hope a A hits on the flop unless they are a calling station, as if it does, that pot is mine.

Why I disagree with spowers, there are many flops where over cards or board textures come up, that you can get them off the better hand. So to me I am not drawing to 2 outs...

i would have to say the same thing on this....remember most of the time it isn't the cards in ur hand ...it is what you make other people think the cards in ur hand are

Exactly.

Also, Sometimes people will still call when they cant and you can use it against them, example from last week from a cash game.

I had TT and raised, got 3 bet. I was pretty sure the other guy had QQ+. Called him anyway, flop came Jxx suited. I decided I would get him off the hand and CRIA, as if he did not have a suit on the board, him calling was a mistake. He called, he won, and called me a donk.

But... I instantly thought when I saw he called with KK with no suit on the board, I can value shove this guy. I have stacked him over and over now, and even doubling him up, I am still way up from plays like that. He could not call my CRAI without a high suited card matching the board no matter what he thought I had or what he did have, yet he did. It has, and will continue to cost him until he learns better as anytime I am pretty sure he has a high PP I am playing anything (23+ is my range) against him due to the implied odds knowing he will stack off if I hit hard. That one play put him in a lose/lose position, he is one of the ones I search for now...

Well worth the lose of one hand to me.

Low pairs are tough to play. Obviously if you hit the set your thought process changes, but for the most part you should know that your opponents are most likely holding two overs.

you gotta remember, so many people out there make a school boy error - they simply wont lay down kings or aces!
