limit players.... how do you play pocket pairs?

[PShabi]

Just wanted to see if anyone uses the same strategy. If you don't, you may want to give it a a try. I got it from Hellmuth's book.

In LIMIT HE, I will raise and reraise with any pair regardless of position. If the flop is checked to me, which it is most of the time, I'll bet out again. usually win right there.

When you hit a set, you've got a nice pot built and if there are overcards, you'll get action.

You're also able to represent a big hand when you don't improve and get overcards to fold.

You're going to have to deal with swings using theis strategy but if you're bankroll can handle it, it's profittable.

You'll be surprised at how many times you win a pot with 33 or 22. I used to just call the flop and had to fold to a bet everytime.
