middle pocket pairs facing a raise
How do you play pocket pairs 5s-9s in the middle of a SNG, blinds 25-50 or 50-100, when you have a middle stack and another average stack raises.
Like this situation: Player 1 (2000) Player 2 (1500) Player 3 (900) Player 4 (2200)SB Hero (1400)BB blinds 50/100 Player 2 raises to 400 and everyone folds to Hero. |

Re: middle pocket pairs facing a raise
I'd fold them. With 3 people left to call, odds are he has a hand. If he has 99-AA, you are screwed. A9/KT/QJ, you have a coinflip.
Best time to have medium pairs on the BB is when you have multiple limpers calling to you. Then you call and hope for a set, or get out. When you flop the set, you stand to make a LOT of money. In that case, just don't give any straight/flush draws the right pot odds to call. |
