Re: How Do You Play Middle/Big Pairs Facing a Re-raise?

I probably don't make the push.

Dont assume that push is a neccesary knee-jerk for any hand you like, where a pot is building. I mention in my response, he might have a PP (bigger/smaller whatever), or he might not. YOu get dealt 2 big cards alot more than big PPs. IF you have TT and he has AK/AQ/(hey its 10+1) AJ/KQ, you DONT WANT TO GET HIM ALLIN. You want to let him see 3 board cards, and then be faced with a decision if he wants to draw with his overs. TT vs Ak ~50/50 if you stack off , but on the flop, its more like 2-1 against him having paired up. Give him the chance to fold if he airballs.
