One pair hands played post flop usually don't win big pots but they sure lose them.

This is soooooo not true in sng poker. Ring games, you're bang on, but this is really untrue here.

Go into PT and see how you do on each type of shown down hands. I'm not at my PT computer right now, but last time I checked one pair hands were red. (Of course some of the time you will improve on the river and not show down a one pair hand here). In the 30's, I would be more apt to bet against a little known player, but not a whole lot. (Again, I am talking deeper stack levels).

1) i'm not by my pokertracker at the moment, but last i checked i was massively up on all hands in all stakes games except high card hands.

2) the vast majority of the players in this forum have no idea how to play post flop, let alone play post flop well. you clearly do know how to play some poker, but this needs to be pointed out. it is at the root of my response to this post and the origin of this thread.

3) the idea is to get more money in when you're ahead than when you're behind.

4) everyone wants to get better at that. everyone needs to get better at that.

5) getting someone to pour off piles of stack when you have one pair and it's good is an artform. it is the artform that this thread is a tiny fraction of.
