Default Re: A couple more Newb Questions

1) 2 pair hands are auto plays not automucks, I will play any 2 pair hand from any position, usually opening for a raise, they are also a good reraise hand against a loose raiser. They are my favorite hands to play against AAxx. You don't need very large stacks to make it worthwhile to break him as you are twice as likely to flop a set.

I have a favorite hand from a while ago where I took a 2 pair hand against KK. We flopped 3 sets between the 2 of us and the large stacks and his slowplay let to a beautiful 2 outer.

As bugstud has stated, the 2244 debate was an interesting one, and I still stand by what I said then.

2) I fold all trips except AAA and ususally I fold that one too.

3) As has been stated here before the best hands to break aces (which are the most common preflop aggression hands) are 4 in a row type hands or two pair type hands. The worst are any hand containing an ace. If you are positive your opponent has aces, and will go broke with them, and the stacks are decent size, there is no hand outside of trips I would throw away.
