Default Re: Small Pair, Small Blind



In other words he's a normally aggressive player on the button, firing with the vast majority of his hands? 3-bet 55, 66 and fold the others.


I can't suggest much postflop because it's largely a question of board texture and your opponent's temperament. With 9-12 bets in the pot you don't want to admit that you're afraid of the flop, but if he's inclined to give you credit for something and isn't particularly aggressive, don't go to war with him over a scary board and second pair.


For example, if he makes it 4-bets and an ace flops, or maybe an ace and another card above a nine, probably bet-fold or even check-fold unless he always likes to wait for the turn to reveal strength.


If the button doesn't reraise before the flop, fire at the flop no matter what. If he raises on the flop, call him down to the end (maybe not the river) if a draw is likely or you have at least second pair.
