Default Becareful with Pairs...

Hello...

For pairs...

the most good pair is King and aces...

If got below then than consider it is not good enough to win right??

because someone might get better if King or Ace on the table...

Then one pair is also not good enough because maybe the other might got two pairs..

Any comment??

Dont be fooled into thinkinh any pair will win, but any picture pair is often worth playing. Just watching the others betting patterns

Ouch, nothing about king or aces there... The thing to check is "are you having the top pair or not?" + "is my kicker good or not"

Top pair + good kicker => must bet to protect your hand!

Sorry if that's a short answer, but I know people never read when writing huge texts

I have lost to many chips to count on the pockets!! They give a false sence of security!! If I dont get one to go with it on the flop I will not spend much on it unless it is As unless there isnt a higher card on the board!! Pockets are my least favorite hand to get!!

Starting with pairs is OK, but if a different pair comes out in the flop, although you will have two pair and a chance of full house someone could have three of a kind

bluffing also irritates me but i do it from time to time, it is part of the game so a good player must be able to bluff occasionally.

pairs can be really tuff, especially aces. false sense of security. unless you hit the trips, the possiblity of anyone else beating you is very actual, especially with another pair on the board.

Pairs are very good cards to start with but it is very tricky. High pairs are good the and the object is to get as many people to call a decent bet preflop and then raise huge postflop (as long as no card/s are higher than yours in flop). Low pairs raise huge preflop get as many folds as you can. Those who call HAVE GOOD CARDS so read the table and bets.

im usually happy with a pair of 7s. depends on the flop tho. if most of the cards on the table are below my pair than i have a good chance.
