Raising pre-flop with pocket pairs
Whats the lowest pocket pair you suggest raising with? I always raise with jacks and up and sometimes with tens if the table seems tight and I have position. Should I do something differently?

Re: Raising pre-flop with pocket pairs
This depends on a lot of factors such as position, previous limpers or the lack of, how the table is, in some cases your table image as well as other factors.

[/ QUOTE ] jacks and up if it's limped to me. re-raise AA/KK and sometimes QQ depending on stacks/position/etc. i'll raise 99/TT if it's limped to me and i'm in good position and the table is tight. i'll also raise these from MP occassionally if it's folded to me to mix it up every now and then. i'll raise 77/88 from the button if it's been folded to me, but then again i'll raise just about any playable hand if it's folded to me on the button. |

Re: Raising pre-flop with pocket pairs
The greatest problem is knowing how to play TT and under. The correct moment to raise with these hands and to limp with. In a multiway pot, limping with this hands is a good choice to try to hit a set, but what if someone after you raises the pot... this is to me the biggest question... throw away your PP under JJ or call the raise. I tend to normally still call a medium raise if the pot is still multiway. On the other side going heads-up is a tough choice, unless the person goping all-in is short stacked.

Re: Raising pre-flop with pocket pairs
definite raise w/ hooks or better, TT on button or one off if a bunch of limpers.

Re: Raising pre-flop with pocket pairs
anyone like a min-raise with 99-77 in late position? I find that when it hits and overcards come as well its a huge payday.

Re: Raising pre-flop with pocket pairs
99-77: min raise.
TT-JJ: raise a little more. QQ: more KK/AA: big raise. If you think I'm kidding I'm gonna shoot u. |

It depends on position, I'll usually raise tens a little bigger than most people on the button. People think wired jacks and tens are dangerous, but usually after the flop it's not hard to see where you stand when you're in position. |
