Re: Making a stand with your low pocket pair
I guess my point in posting this is that, for me at least, it challenged a false assumption that any pair was better than 2 unpaired cards. "The trouble with 22 is that you are either a small favorite or a big dog." I think we have all heard this, but in fact, this is probably giving 22 more credit than it deserves. My new impression is that 22 is a big dog sometimes, a small dog many times, and a small favorite against only a few hands that will play with you. How does this change my strategy when I find myself short (a frequent problem for me BTW)? Well, maybe a medium or high suited connector is a better choice with which to make a stand than a low pocket pair.
