I've begun to really hate being in this situation. I guess we can talk about 3 cases, and for now let's say nobody raised preflop (10 handed)
case 1)
Flop is something like 55K, you hold a K. I always find this one to be tricky because you never think a 5 is out there. But then they have 56s, or A5s, or even just A5. How do you play this ? I bet out to thin the field, and the raise usually always comes on the turn or river. So what's the idea here. Raise the turn and fold to a 3 bet ?
case 2)flop is something like JJ4, you have the 4. I barely even make plays at a flop like this now. I find a lot of people call that first bet, you almost always get outdrawn (assuming the J isn't in someone's hand), and a mid sized pocket pair is coming with you to the river often. How do you get away from this hand ?
case 3) AXX, you have the A. At least here you're not getting outdrawn by a bigger pair, and it's even harder to let this go. What's the line ?
