RAISE or NOT.

Big slick is a god hand to raise on but i don't think it is the hand you want to go all in on. A pair of 2's will beat big slick. The raise will let you find out if someone else thinks they have a hand, but once the flop comes you will see if your big slick is worth anything or not.

I agree entirely with you Tenpin. Dueces against big slick is the favourite hand, not by much but still more often then not will win you the hand. Raise it and get those dueces out.

If you go to full tilt and look at the weekly post by the pros. I believe it was early october by Chris Fergueson. Take a look!!!!

i raise with pairs under ten and with QK . AA or KK i do all in.

i would significantly raise the blinds. if there is an all in already out there i would consider calling but it would be a big risk. i really prefer to see a flop first because big slick can be slippery.

raise with AK for sure... only if with the call u will only face 1 oponent anyway SB e BB positions... u have to face as low oponents u can with that hand

I play AK differently depending on whos at my table. If it seems to be an aggressive table i wait and play it slow, because i hate when i go all in preflop and lose to garbage, but if im at a tight table, i raise big, so idiots dont outdraw u.
