Secret to winning limit w/ big pairs...???

Postby MVPSPORTS » Sun Aug 07, 2005 4:08 pm

Okay, so I've been playing about 3 hours, am down about $150 (just what I was looking for to boost my BR :oops: ), and almost EVERY single loss is on big pairs... I lost 3 KK to crap... 2 Qs... and 2 Js...

I mean... is this an easy fold...???

I'm in MP w/ [Kd] [Ks] ... 2 limpers... I raise to 6... 1 caller...

Flop [Ac] xx... Is this a one-bet and I'm done if he calls...?? Should I go into check/fold mode...??? The Kings got beat by like A8, A4... Qs got beat by K4...

Am I playing these wrong, getting unlucky...?? Should I just let the hands go if an Ace flops and there's ANYBODYstill left in the pot...?

KK with an ace on the flop is always a bit tricky. I'll almost always fire one bet on the flop; if I'm raised, I'm completely willing to give up. Don't talk yourself into a "well, he might have a flush draw" line of though, because usually, you're up against an ace and drawing to 2 outs.

If I'm called, I won't necessarily give up on the hand, but if I'm called in 2 or more places, I will. If I'm called heads-up, I'll look at the board; is there a reasonable draw or second-pair hand my opponent could be calling with? If so, I'll probably keep betting. If not, I may just give up on the hand.

Examples : I raise KK, get one reasonably solid caller, and the flop comes A-8-3 rainbow. I bet, and he calls; with such an uncoordinated board, I'm willing to accept that he probably has an ace, so I'll give up on the hand. But if the board is A-Q-9, and my opponent calls, it's entirely possible I'm up against a lower pair or a draw...so I'll keep firing. But as I said, if you get more than one caller, you're probably best off just letting it go on the turn.
