Default Re: How to Play Small Two Pair...



Hi CJ,


Frankly, you got very, very lucky on this hand.


First, you were very lucky that nobody else made a bigger two pair or trips on fourth. Then you were very lucky that the fourth-street raiser was on your immediate right so you could reraise everyone else out before they made a bigger two pair or trips on a later street. Then you got lucky again when you bagged a winning out on the river. That's a helluva parlay sequence.


If you keep playing 662o in multiway pots it's going to cost you a lot of money in the long run. You're not going to get many hands where absolutely everything goes right like it did on this one. If the 2 is suited that's a little better but even that's only marginally playable.


So your play was okay from 4th street on, but you really shouldn't have played the hand at all to begin with. I know it's a tough fold, but you have to make these or you're giving up a lot of your edge over the fish who play these types of hands.
