How to play average pairs on preflop - this question is very often asked by novice online poker players. The middle pairs are a strong enough hand if you manage to apply the right strategy. However, medium pairs can lead to both a loss and the loss of a large stack. In order to effectively play the average pairs, which are popularly called "chameleon pairs", you need to use the right tactics. The middle pair can easily become the youngest if the flop does not fit.
Also, the pair can become the highest if the cards on the flop were lower in rank. When you receive a pocket pair on the preflop, you should understand very well that depending on the face value of your cards, the chances of your drawing for success fall or increase. The lower the face value of your pair, the less chance the sun has that it will become an over-pair with the arrival of the flop. Thus, all the middle pairs need to be played very carefully and carefully. You can play a pair of 5-5, the same as 4-4, but do it more freely. Pairs of tenth and jacks play in the same way.
The youngest middle pair is considered to be 7-7. We can play this pair in the same way as the 6-6 pair, but only in a freer style. Despite this, there are quite a lot of differences between the pair 6-6 and 7-7 and their drawing can also be different. The most important difference between 7-7 is the possibility of getting weaker cards on the flop. Thus, if we buy a set, then even a 5-5-5 set does not have the opportunity to beat us. If we got a 7-7 pocket pair in an early position, then in all cases we will throw off this hand. In the middle position, we will also pass, except in cases when no opponent made a raise move before the ns, and there were at least three calls. You can enter the game with a call, hoping that a set or a stronger hand will come to us on the flop. Poker is a very emotional game, so all the decisions that we will make need to be chosen correctly. Some solutions have the same mathematical expectation, which means that we will decide what to do in this or that situation. The difference between the solutions will be very small, so we need to know the basic strategy very well.
When making decisions, we should always pay attention to the actions of our rivals. In some cases, it is better to be safe than to lose most or even all of your stack. If we have 7-7 on our hands in the middle position with three calls, then our call or pass will not bring us significant losses. If there are quite aggressive opponents at the gaming table with us, who are still waiting for their turn, it is better not to risk and go into the pass. In a late position, our 7-7 pair can bring us a set on the flop. If there are three calls without a raise, we can call. If there were two callers, we also call. This way we can win on the flop even without gain. The more rivals there are, the greater the risk of being in an unfortunate situation. If only one opponent has entered the game with a stake, we go for a raise. After that, we look at how events will develop.
In the case of two eights, we will play much bolder than with a pair of 6-6 or 7-7. With this pair, we can try to start the draw at an early position. If there were one or two calls before us, we also go into the call game. If we start the game, but there has not been a call before us yet, we need to be extremely careful. It would be best to throw off the cards and go into the pass, since the position is not very successful. If you are playing at a loose-passive table, you can call. Most likely, our call will also be followed by rival calls, but there will be no raises. So we have a good opportunity to buy a set. This decision is considered to be borderline, because depending on our rivals, we could fold. If there was at least one call, but we are in the middle position, we also call. If there are no callers before us, we also find ourselves in a borderline situation. Play JETX at BOOI and Win big!
