Losing $1.1k on One Pair Hands
I win with all other final hands according to PT except one pair hands over 15k hands, which I have lost $1109. It is obvious I am overplaying/misplaying these hands terribly. I have a hard time differentiating between value betting these hands agianst a lower kicker and getting screwed over by a bigger hand. How do you guys deal with these hands? Play em strong then drop them to any resistance? Please help me plug this horrible leak. I will try to post some hands but any general or sitiuational advice would be greatly appreciated. Some PT stats on One pair. total times: 5617, saw flop: 1736, folded flop 554, folded turn: 256, folded river: 147, went to SD:289, won $ hands: 609, won money at SD: 40%, % of total hands 43. I know 15k is a small sample but I need to stop the bleeding now.

Re: Losing $1.1k on One Pair Hands
what levels?
in 100 and 200nl through 15000 hands i am losing 1500 with one pair hands. When compared to just my high card hands i've lost 1600. Thats only a difference of 100, which is pretty piss poor. and i've only won $36 with 2 pair-they always seem to get busted. my 1 pair stats are (in same order) total-4403 saw flop-1104 fold flop-91 fold turn-49 fold river-31 showdown-169 winning %- 52 total %-14.6 |

Re: Losing $1.1k on One Pair Hands
shouldn't you be losing with one pair? it would seem to me that would include all the times you call a pfr with a small pair and miss your set and fold, or semi-bluff a pair and a flush draw and miss etc. i just think its a misleading stat. please correct me if i misunderstood something.

Fold one pair to a raise. Always. Problem solved. You don't tell us what games you play in, though, which would be very helpful for giving you some more in-depth comments.

No, I don't still do this. But I don't still play NL25 either. At NL200 it is not correct strategy (although it is still very close to correct, IMO) but at NL25-NL100 I think it is actually correct or VERY close to correct. People ARE NOT AGGRESSIVE with worse than one pair. Unless you have a specfic read to the contrary. |

Re: Losing $1.1k on One Pair Hands
My general rule is this: If my pair is lower then the highest card on the flop its a fold. Unless I have reason to believe a bet here will take down the pot. Or I flopped trips.
22-TT (and JJ often) is a 'no set, no bet' type hand most of the time. |
