Quiz of the Week: Playing Big Pocket Pairs (FL)

Playing big pocket pairs pre-flop is straight forward: you want to get as much action as you can.

If you are ahead most of the time, you should aim to get the maximum amount into the pot in these situations. The chances that your hand will still be the best hand at the showdown are rather high.

Giving your pair this much action isn't always as easy after the flop. On an ugly board, your monster will often quickly turn into a marginal hand. Calling, folding and raising in the right spots will help you boost your win rate significantly.

If you want to gauge how well you perform with premium hands in difficult spots, take our quiz:
