I seem to lose an awful lot of money when my big pocket pairs don't hit. Or do hit, but not for long. I'm sure this is a significant leak, so I thought I'd post a couple of examples and see what other people think.
Both hands below are online $1/$2
Hand 1:
I'm dealt K /forums/images/icons/diamond.gif K /forums/images/icons/heart.gif in middle position. First three fold, I raise, guy to my left and the button call two cold, small blind calls, big blind folds.
The flop comes 5 /forums/images/icons/club.gif T /forums/images/icons/spade.gif A /forums/images/icons/diamond.gif . Small blind checks, I bet out and lose the button. The other two call.
The turn comes 7 /forums/images/icons/spade.gif . Small blind checks, I bet out, guy to my left folds, small blind raises. Now what?
Hand 2:
I'm dealt Q /forums/images/icons/heart.gif Q /forums/images/icons/spade.gif in middle position. First two fold, next two limp, I raise, the big blind and the two limpers call.
The flop comes J /forums/images/icons/heart.gif 3 /forums/images/icons/heart.gif 7 /forums/images/icons/spade.gif . Big blind and first early limper check, second limper bets, I raise, BB and first guy fold, second limper reraises, I cap. I don't think this is a mistake.
The turn comes A /forums/images/icons/heart.gif . The other guy checks. Now what?
