Poker How to play Pocket Couples. Planning small and medium pocket couples

Pocket couples play not so simple. In this article, we will consider the optimal draw of such hands in 8 different situations. In each situation, we will throw out external factors and consider ICM in vacuo. For example, if you are on the final table, or on Babble out of 9 people, then the correct game can differ significantly. We will also imagine that there is a standard ante, approximately 10-12.5% \u200b\u200bof the Big Blind.

An important warning to the Council below lies in the fact that the "optimal game" will not always be optimal. (It sounds confused, I know!). The correct game always depends on many factors. But these are good drawing lines for these situations. Let's start with the 1st Example.

Situation №1

So, your move. The size of an effective stack - 10bb or less.

Optimal option: put over

With an effective stack of 10BB or less you can usually set an all-in any pocket pair from any position.

The younger pocket pairs are a nearby solution from an early position with a stack of 10bb, and this is not so bad when your only alternative is to gradually lose the blinds. When you have less than 20BB on your Batton or small blind, then, often, the best solution will become all-in with low pocket pairs with a short stack.

Situation number 2.

The player opened at late position and your size of an effective stack - 25bb or less.

Optimal option: 3-Beth Oll-in

When your effective stack is 25bb or less, you can put 3-bet Oll in small pocket pairs from the late position.

This advice definitely depends on who opens first. For example, if the well player opens with the cat-off, then the extra-in to 25bb with a battle from 22 will be too failed solution. We must attack the players who are opening with a wide range, then you will have a good Fold Equity.

But, in general, this advice is suitable for 3-Bet Push, when you are on the blinds with a low pocket, and the aggressor is Button.

Situation number 3.

You are in an early position with an effective stack of 15-40BB.

Optimal option: Fold

With an effective stack of 15-40BB, you often need to folute with small pockets from an early or middle position.

Younger pocket pairs are good with a short stack, because You can simply post them all-in in the hope that opponents will die, or play a coin. They are also good with a deep stack, where you have good alleged odds to enter the set. But the average stacks, approximately 25bb, are not suitable for opening with low pocket pairs. You have no blunters against the 3-bet of the ranges of your opponents, and, as a rule, when a collision with a 3-bet has to do Fold. Call with these hands looks pretty bad at postfolpe.

Also, you have bad alleged odes to get to the set.

Situation number 4.

The opponent opens and you get the alleged odds 20: 1 or better.

Optimal option: flat Collapse

In order for profitable Flat-cast low pocket couples, facing the raise, ideally you need to have alleged chances of 20: 1 or better.

Estimated odds are the chances of a bank that can be supposedly obtained on the basis of future opponents rates. For example, if your alleged ODDS is equal to 20: 1 or better, then, facing a min-raise with the size of an effective stack of 40BB, you can profitably flare-cast with low pocket pairs.

If the alleged odds are worse, you can still call you sometimes. For example, in cases with tormentipotes, closing the action, you can make a profitable call with the estimated chances of 10: 1 (although in this case the extra-in can be even a more profitable solution).

But be careful with raise calls with small pockets, if your alleged odds are not so good.

Situation number 5.

The player opens and you think about the version of the Light 3-beta with the size of an effective stack of more than 25bb.

Optimal option: Fold, or Call

Despite the fact that there are certain exceptions, as a rule, you can find for your light 3-betting hand range better than younger pocket pairs.

You do not have blotters for playing against the opponent's range, with which you can continue to fight for the bank against 3-beta. Faced with a 4-bet, you usually have to folute. When you make a call, in the postflop these hands are not played well. Hands such as QTO (dying) or 76s (suited) respond to at least one of the above criteria and will look better for Light 3-beta.

So, in such situations you need Flat ring, if you allow your alleged chances, otherwise you are forced to make Fold.

Situation number 6.

You are on the big blind, and the player exhibits all-in 10bb or less from the middle or late position.

Optimal option: call

Faced with an all-in-in 10bb from an average or late position, you can vouch on a big blind with younger pocket pairs.

Using nash bands, Coll All-Ina in 10bb with low pockets is a profitable effect. But there is an exception: if your opponent puts all-in to 10 bb from an early position, then the range of your call must begin from 44 and older.

Situation number 7.

You will learn on the preflop, and your opponent comes on your flop.

Optimal option : Contribute on dry flops and a response check on coordinated flops.

It is unlikely that on a coordinated flop your opponent will smoothly, besides you have a Schowedown Wiel. On the dry flop, your Fold Equity at the rate is more and this is a good indicator to force the opponent to split overcards, which have 25% of Equity, or more.

Of course there are many exceptions, but it is still a good empirical rule, if you doubt your line on the flop with a younger pocket pair.

Situation number 8.

Active player on the cat-off MIN-Razit with a stack of 30bb, and you have 55.

Optimal option: call

You can easily consider such hands as 22 and 44 almost the same, but each increase in pocket rank increases the equity of your hand. For example, if your opponent goes all-in on a small blind, and you put it in the top range of 75%, then 22 is Anderdog with 49% of Equity. At the same time, 44 claim 53% of Equity.

Based on this, in this situation, facing the opening of Katt-Off with the size of an effective stack of 30BB, you must be ready to play your hand with each increase in your pair's rank. Fold 55 will not be madness, as well as Flat call from 22. But in 55 equity above against its range (which, for example, should include all A-X hands) and is a stronger candidate for the bank in position against a wide range.

Translation: Dubova Diana

Small pocket pairs have one special highlight that literally reduces some players crazy and makes playing such hands with loss of benefit. In trying to collect a set with a small couple, players often spit on discipline and show the absurd lines of the draw. With this serious face you need to fight, what we will do today and.

For example, a very common mistake is the FLET call from the late position with a shallow couple against the bay-raise from an early or middle position. This line of the game is absolutely unprofitable, and I sincerely do not understand the players who adhere to such a shoulder. Why we are unprofitable, by the way, consider in this article.

We also discuss how to determine the sides for a drawing of small pocket pairs with two different in the number of chips stacks: less than 30bb and more than 30bb. Among other things, we will look at the game with small pocket pairs in postflop. In general, we turn right to business.

Raffle of small pocket pairs with stack 30bb +

As I said, there is one controversial trend in the tournament poker, which is traced at the players with deep stacks. We are talking about FLET collars with small pocket couples against the open-raisers from the early positions. Of course, everyone loves to catch a set with a shallow pocket pair, but the excavating number of FLET collov is not the most plus line of the draw.

Let's consider a practical example. Suppose that we are sitting in the UTG + 1 position, the opponent on UTG makes an oppen-raise. That's what pocket couples are included in the range with which we can continue the game.

Note, there is no shallow pocket pair. When it comes to confrontation in early positions, you need to try to stick to the top of your range. Since, firstly, opponents rarely open with marginal hands, and secondly, after us, a whole table of players who will have to act.

Yes, Flat call with or looks very tempting, because to catch the network is always good, but this is a very serious mistake.

There is one favorable use of FLE collov with small pocket pairs. When your stack costs more than 50bb, and you play the tournament with a weak field, the FLET Call can become an operational adjast. Especially when rivals are opened in small betahs. Why exactly in tournaments with a weak field? These compositions rarely encounter substitutions from opponents from the later positions.

The later you sit at the table, the more pocket pairs will enter your range of the draw. For example, if you encountered the same oupen-raise from the UTG player sitting on UTG + 2 (in the middle position), then here would be your range.

For example, if you are sitting on Katoboff, and the Open River is also on UTG, and all the players have dropped their cards to you, then you can safely make a flash call even with a pair of twos, since you will be talked only 3 players. Also, the flaret can be cast on a small blind. But in both cases you need to pay attention to opponents that are valid for you. If players after you play in an aggressive style and play squishes, the FLET call against them will be not the best option.

Open-Ramp with small pocket couples

The catalyst of the open-raise with small pocket pairs is Ante:

  • when Ante is present in the game, you can comfortably, and most importantly beneficial, open with any pocket pairs from any positions (with the exception of MB);
  • before entering Ante, the game to open any pairs should only be with the position of HJ and higher.

But, obviously, if you play in a serious participant in the tournament, then wide open-raises with any couples from almost every position will be not the best idea. In such a case, it is worth Folding small pocket pairs (-) from the early and middle positions even after entering ante in the game.

Raffle of small pocket pairs in postflop

In this article, we will not consider situations in postflop when you caught a set with a small pair. The draw in such sobs is quite simple and straightforward. It is much harder to come when you do not catch the set on the flop. Let's consider the following example.

Blinds 500/1000, Ante 100, an effective stack - 75,000. Hiro distributed on Batton. Opponent from the middle position makes an open-raise 2,200, Hiro Call, the remaining players dropped the cards.

Okrew flop. What is the best way to play if the opponent does the touch bet? And if he check?

In both cases, the pocket couple of the fourth will not be the best way to stand for such a flop, as there are only 2 outs for amplification. On any check, I would answer Check Bihaint. On a balanced accompaniment from the opponent, I would advise you to folute with a similar hand.

It makes no sense to bluff the raise here, as in our range there are quite more favorable bluffs.

For example, with a type of type in this space, bluffing is much more profitable. There are as many as 6 outs that will give you the second strength of a couple, plus this hand has a backtore potential.

Raffle of small pocket pairs with a stack of less than 30bb

With a stack of less than 30bb, pocket pairs are played drastically in the opposite way. In general, in the game with a short stack in the tournament poker there are many nuances that you can learn about. Today we will consider only the drawing of small pocket pairs.

The whole essence of the game with a short stack in the tournament poker rolls to the skill competently fuse and relays. Here is an example of a good range of the Open-Push from the late position with a stack of less than 20BB, when ante is present in the game.

As you can see, all small pocket pairs belong to this range. Therefore, when playing with a short stack, they are very profitable to open-pointed. Again, it is worth clarifying that such a play with small pocket couples is relevant only at the moment when Ante was introduced into the game. Until now, the tournaments are conducted a more truate game.

Conclusion

The ability to correctly play minor pocket couples can be safely attributed to the basic concepts of tournament poker. Thanks to this skill at the key moment of the game, i.e. After entering Ante, you can secure a good increment of chips in the stack. To remember the basic rules of drawing pocket pairs:

  • never make a flash call with small pocket pairs, especially in early and medium-sized positions (an exception may be a weak composition of the tournament);
  • with a small stack, it is important to be able to properly open-poke and relays, small pairs are included in the Paste Range from the late position.

Small pocket couples - These are couples in the range from 22 to 66, and all the pair above are considered as medium and high pocket pairs. These small pairs are deceptive strong and very often bring big trouble with novice players, as they are very overestimated.

Like small pocket pairs usually consider pocket pairs between 22 and 66.

Small pocket pairs will be stronger than most other hands on the preflop, but it is only until the enemy get a higher pair. For this reason, the flop game may be incredibly difficult if you fail to improve your hand.

So let's find out how to play with small pocket couples ...

The biggest problem of small pocket steam

When drawing a small pocket pair, there is a very high probability that higher cards will come on the flop. This will mean that the Ander Paul and in this situation will be very difficult to find out whether we have the best hand.

If we bet and get a call, it will give us little information about whether our hand is ahead or not. Our opponent can have a higher couple, a dar-hand, a small couple or any other possible hand. A simple bet and call do not give us a lot of information about the hand of the opponent, and such an attempt will be expensive, as to get more information, we will need to bet on the cooler and on the river.

Small pocket couples and sets

The power of a shallow pocket pair is that there is a chance that we will be able to assemble the set on the flop. Seth is a top three, which is formed with a pocket pair, and it differs from the triple, to compile one pocket card and two common table cards. Seth represents a very hidden and strong hand, and with this combination we can win a lot of money if our opponents will not suspect of our hand.

Thus, instead of finding out the power of your small pocket pair on the flop, we just have to hope for the set or discount cards. With a low pocket pair, play very difficult and unprofitable in postflop, if it is not possible to improve it, so try to avoid such a game.

The best strategy of games with small pocket couples is to strive to assemble the Seth on the flop and Fold, if you did not hit the set.

Sweat odds and chances of getting into the set

Chances to collect a set with a pocket pair on the flop make up 7 to 1, and this means that we will receive 1 set from every 8 flops that we see. It's not too big chances, so in accordance with the sweat odds we will rare enough to get good odds to a call on the preflop, in order to see the flop and try to collect our set.

Sweat ODDSI is assumed that we will pay too much for what will happen too often so that we will try to collect a combination. But there is something very important, which allows us to take a little freer to the sweat of Oddas, and this is an Imprete odds on Seth.

Imprete Oddas make a standing game with small pocket couples.

Imprete Oddas is how much we expect to win after we gather our hand, and you can even say now that Imprete Odda on the set we are just huge. It is not at all a rarity when players lose their money when they get a decent hand on the flop and are not suspected that the opponent can have a set.

Strategy game with Seth and how to play small pocket pairs

There are two basic requirements for a drawing of small pocket pairs:

  1. Entities should have relatively deep stacks. That is, stacks 70VV +.
  2. You should avoid colliding 7VV + raises in order to see the flop.

1) Play small pocket couples against opponents with deep stacks

The deeper stack of our opponent, the better. This is because we will not collect a set too often, but when we manage, we must be able to get paid by storm. If our opponent has a small stack, then the award for the stack and the size of a possible Ol-Ina will not justify a raise call, since we will receive a set only in one of the eight cases.

The deeper the stack, the more Imprete odds, the greater the potential profits and the more + EV becomes a call to the set.

2) Collide the raises up to 7VV in the preflop

The more preflop raise, the worse the sweat odds and less profitably becomes a call on the set in the long run. However, the standard preflop raise is a raise about 3 or 4VV, and this is the optimal size for a call in an attempt to collect a set.

Nevertheless, our Imprete Oddas with a successful attempt to collect the set is huge, so we can afford to pay a little more to see the flop.

Do not be afraid to call rates up to 7VB (or, perhaps a little more depending on the situation) with a shallow pocket pair. It may seem too much a call, but it is possible to huge returns when you will collect a set.

Advanced drawing strategy small pocket pairs

If you are strong in postflop game, then your interest will raise with pocket couples on the preflop. This will give you the initiative in the distribution and will help you pick up a few additional small banks along with the larger when you get to the set.

However, if you are a beginner player, then the drawing of small pocket pairs should be spent more passive, just making a call on the preflop, and do not raises. Both of these methods are profitable, so play as you will be most comfortable. Raise on preflop with small pocket couples will be more + EV, but only if you know what you are doing.

Imprete Oddas and Sets

We have already considered this question, but it is worth it to emphasize the importance of the size of the stack.

If our opponent has a short stack, then our Imprete odds will decrease significantly, so our potential winnings in the network becomes smaller. Similarly occurs in situations when our opponents have large stacks, then the Imprete odds become huge for trying to collect our stack.

The less the stack of our opponent, the less our Imprete odds. The more stack of our opponent, the more our Imprete odds.

This means that we can give yourself a little more space when calling the raises on the preflop. If our opponents have short stacks, then we must avoid colliding the raises, and try to see the flop as cheaper as possible or even abandon this venture, while if our opponent has a big stack, then we can afford to call big raise, To try to collect our stack, because we will have very good Impretes odds.

Conclusion

As you probably noticed, the strategy of the drawing of small pocket pairs is primarily built around the concept of Implamide Oddov. Imprete Oddas justify the drawing of small pocket pairs, so you must familiarize yourself with this concept.

Basically, the entire strategy is based on viewing cheap flops with small pocket pairs, and the continuation of the game only in cases where you fall into the set. If this is the only thing you learned from this article, do not worry, as you only helped yourself to save / earn a lot of money in the future.

Do not be afraid to make collings of big raises on preflop with small pocket couples, but be prepared to reset them if you did not hit the set. This is a simple, but effective game strategy with any pocket pair of 22 to 66.

Small pocket pairs are a hand range, including pairs from 22 to 66, the remaining pocket pairs will already be considered medium or high. These low pairs deceptively seem to be strong hands and often bring in inexperienced players a lot of problems due to the fact that they are strongly overestimated.

Evaluation of the poker school:

Quality level 2/5

You need to know 7/10

Under small pocket pairs, there are usually a pair of 22 to 66.

A small pocket couple on the preflop will be ahead of most of all starting hands, with the exception of older pocket pairs. However, at the same time, the post-thief game with them will be very difficult if you do not intensify in any way.

Well, let's find out how to correctly play small pocket couples ...

Main problem of small pocket steam

When you hold a small pocket pair on your hands, the likelihood is great that the flop will appear on the flop. This means that it is often on the flop you will have under-pairs in relation to the bud, and they are very hard to try to figure out where you are - ahead or behind.

If we deliver and get a call, it will give us quite a little information about the relative strength of our hand. Our opponent may have a pair of older, dar-hands, pairs below or in general any other hand. A simple bet and call on the flop will not tell us too much about the hand of the opponent, but continue to put on the Turn and River in order to find out how we stand will be expensive.

Small pocket couples and sets

The true power of small pocket pairs lies in the fact that they can intensify to the village on the flop. Seth is a combination when you collect three cards of one rank to your pocket pair, unlike the TRIPS, in which you will have the same three cards, but two of them will lie on the board, and only one will be your pocket card. Sets are very strong and hidden hands.With them you can potentially do a lot of money, as opponents will not often expect to see them.

Thus, instead of trying to find out in the postflop with a small pocket, we need to be ahead or behind, most often we will only need to determine: either we fall into the set, or we are Foldim. Trying to play a shallow pocket in postflop without improvements - this is not a very plus and quite complex game, so try to avoid it.

With minor pocket couples, the main goal for you will either catch the set on the flop, or fall in case of misses.

Chances of the bank and mathematics

The probability of catching the set on the flop with a pocket pair is 7: 1, which means that we will receive it only on one of the eight seen flops. And this probability will not be too good compared to the chances of the bank provided to us. At Preflop, we rarely get enough good direct chances of a bank for a call to Set Minning.

Thus, mostly the chances of the bank will mean that we will pay too much for what it will not happen often to recoup our costs. But there is one important component that we have not yet taken into account in our equation is potential chances of the bankwhich we will receive when hitting the set.

It is the potential chances of the bank make a drawing of small pocket pairs profitable.

The potential chances of the bank are how much we expect to win, after we gather our hand. And I want to immediately say that potential chances for set are huge. For most players, there is no uncommon to play huge banks of sets with a fairly good hit in the flop, as they will not often expect to see the set at the opponent.

Set-Strategy and Draw Minor Pocket Couples

There are two basic requirements for a drawing of small pocket pairs:

1. Opponents should have a relatively deep stack. At least about 70bb +.

2. I avoided the colliding of the raises over 7bb on the preflop.

1) Draw minor pocket couples against opponents with deep stacks.

The deeper our opponent stack, the better. All because we do not expect to get to the set very often, but if we still fall into it, then we want to receive decent registration for it. If our opponent has a short stack, then the remuneration that we will get for the collected set by us at the exhibition of all-in, will not cover all our raises on the collars not preflop, since the set we will receive only 1 time and 8.

The deeper stack, the better our potential chances of the bank, and the higher our potential remuneration, and, accordingly, the more becomes + EV of our call to the set.

2) Collide the raises on the preflop to 7bb.

The greater the raise on the preflop, the worse, our chances of the bank, and the less advantage becomes calling on the set at the distance. The standard osopen-raise on the preflop is 2.5-4bb, which is quite enough to call to the set.

Our potential chances of the bank are very high when entering the set, so we can afford to call and slightly larger than the size of the raises.

Do not boil the raises to the size of 7BB (or perhaps a little more - depending on the situation) with small pocket pairs. It may seem to you too expensive, but your remuneration when you get into the set should cover these costs.

Advanced strategy drawing small pocket couples

If you have a strong enough postflop game, Rail pocket pairs on the preflop for you can be even more profitable. This will give you the initiative in the distribution, which will allow you to sometimes pick up an additional no one who needs not necessary sweats, as well as win huge - when you get to the set.

However, if you are just a novice, only trying to figure out small pockets, then it will be much better for you and easier to choose a more passive path of their draw - through call, not raise. Both ways will be plus, so choose the one with which you will feel more comfortable. Rhinds on preflop with pocket couples will be more advantage, but it is only if you understand what you are doing.

Potential chances of the bank and set

I have already affected this topic, but I would like to fix it again to secure the importance of stack sizes.

If our opponent has a short stack, then our potential chances of the bank will fall significantly, since our potential winnings in this case will be much lower in the network. Conversely, if our opponents have deep stacks, then we will receive a huge potential chance of set.

The shorter of the stack of our opponent, the lower our potential chances. The deeper the stack of our opponent, the better our potential chances.

This means that we must create a favorable conditions on the preflop themselves. If our opponent has a short stack, we must avoid colliding the big raises and try to go to the sweat as cheaper as possible, or do not enter it at all. While deep effective stacks allow us to call a little larger than the preflop rage.

Output

As you might notice, the strategy of drawing small pocket pairs is mainly tied to the concept of potential chances of the bank. The potential chances of the bank explain the reasons behind the strategy of the drawing of small pockets, so try to explore this topic as much as possible.

The whole article, in fact, is based on the basic idea, see as a cheap flop as possible with small pocket pairs and continue only when inserted into the set. If this is the only thing that you have brought for yourself from this article, do not worry, because it will already be preserved (bring you a lot of money in the future.

Do not be afraid to call a large-sized ramp on the preflop with small pocket pairs, but be prepared to burrow them if you do not get into the set. It is simple, but at the same time a very effective strategy with pairs from 22 to 66.

Most beginners of poker players are perfectly familiar with how it is necessary to play strong pocket couples. The main problems, in most novice poker players, cause situations with the drawing of small and even medium pocket pairs. Some beginner poker players, overestimate the strength and capabilities of small and medium pocket pairs and lose large banks with such hands, while other novice poker players are missing good opportunities to win a good bank with such hands, strictly adhering to ABS Poker strategy.

In this article, I want to disassemble the situations suitable for a successful drawing of small and medium pocket pairs. I will focus in detail on explaining the situation of set mining and some other situations when the inclusion in its range of played starting hands of small and medium pairs will bring you a tangible profit.

Set-Maining

When drawing small and medium pocket pairs, your main task is to enter the set. It is this strategy of drawing pocket pairs that is called - Set-mining. Fitting to low or medium set, has a very high potential wave and quite difficult to readable, therefore, it is usually well paid by your opponents having an over-pair.

However, do not forget that the chances of getting into the network is already flop, we constitute only 12%. It is because of this low percentage of the likelihood of entering the set, you should be very careful with the frequency of use of set mining, when drawing small and medium pocket pairs. If you apply a set mining strategy every time you come to small and medium pocket pairs, then no large banks won with these sets will not pay off your investments in banks in which you tried to catch this set. Annette Obrestad (Annette Obrestad) for example, a few years ago admitted that it rarely risks more than 10% of his stack, in any attempt to set mining. I think you should take as a basis, it is this strategy of set-mining Annett Obrestad. At least as long as you do not master the successful techniques for the application of set mining or do not develop your successful strategy for the game of Male and medium pocket pairs.



Now that we have dealt with the main features of set mining, let's stay in more detail at the options when you should apply set-mining tactics and situations when it is worthwhile in the draw with small and medium pocket pairs.

Hyper-aggressive players

Tactics of set mining, when drawing small and medium pocket couples - the most successful poker tactic, which will allow you to win large banks from your hyper-aggressive opponents behind a poker table. Hyper-aggressive players love to make large bets, trying to scare you the name of your bet and pick up the bank without reaching the opening. So you need to learn to use this aggression against themselves.

Against hyper-aggressive players, network mining tactics work perfectly in situations when you stay with such an opponent one on one and are in position. Even if you still were not in position, setting mining tactics can still work perfectly, provided that you stayed in a draw against a hyper-active opponent one on one.

The key to winning large banks from your hyper-active opponents is of course entering the set with your small or medium pocket pair. As soon as you hit the set with your small or medium pocket pair, you immediately should be gluing your game and allow your hyper-aggressive enemy to continue to try to intimidate you with the size of its rates, thereby letting him dispersed the bank for you. However, there is one exception here - flops with potential straight or flush DRO. If you hit the set with your small or medium pocket pair, on the flop with potential straight or flash DRO, then in this situation, you should make a big bet first to put your hyper-aggressive enemy in a situation - to pay to continue the game or Reset cards.

Imagine the situation that your hyper-aggressive opponent, in a situation where you hit the set with your small or medium pocket pair, on the flop with potential straight or flash draw, collided your large bid. Then on the cooler, you will fall into a situation when you have to decide how to play - raise / check-raise or just call and watch River. It should be focused on a specific situation at the table in this draw. If you are in position, then you can try to play a raise on the cooler, and then make a bet if your hyper-aggressive enemy will play a check on the river. If you are not in position and think that your hyper-aggressive enemy will not call your bet on the river, then you better play a check-raise on the turn and hope that your opponent will catch the second pair or ace on the river For, for example.

Family Banks (Family Pots)

Family banks - banks in which four or more players entered, in order to see the flop. Family banks are an excellent opportunity to apply network mining tactics when drawing small and medium pocket pairs. In most situations, when drawing family banks, the entrance to their draw is not more than the size of the Big Bank + one raise. A large number of drawing family banks is characteristic of tables, with a lot of not very experienced poker players. Most players participating in the drawing of family banks enter the draw with rather weak starting hands. That is why, when applying tactics of set mining, when drawing family banks, you will win a large bank, almost every time you get to the set.


If you get to the set, with a drawing of family banks, do not be afraid to quickly and aggressively play your hand. Do not be afraid to make a big bet first. From a large number of opponents participating in the family bank draw, there are at least one player who will minimize your bid. Even if all your opponents, in response to your bid, will relieve your maps to pass, you still win a large preflop-bank.

Six-Max and Four-Max Tables

The dynamics of the games behind the tables of six-max and four-max, significantly different from the dynamics of the game for ordinary poker tables. Compared to conventional poker tables, behind the poker tables is six-max and four-max, medium pocket couples become strong hands and have more chances to win on the autopsy even without a set. With small pocket couples, behind the tables six-max and four-max, you can count not only on Set-mining, but also on a clean win with such a couple.

When drawing small and medium-sized pocket pairs, behind the tables of six-max and four-max, you should more often go to the bank by raise from the middle and later positions than in the game behind the standard poker tables. If during the drawing of small and medium pocket pairs, behind the tables of six-max and four-max, you fall on the flop to set, you unambiguously have to do a quick and large bet, in this situation. Since most players behind the tables six-Max and four-Max are included in the draw with a significantly wider range of starting hands, the danger of tables with potential straight or flash drive is significantly higher.
