[Closed] Pockets on the flop!

There is no universal answer for this, it really depends how many people are in pot, what is the board like, which overcards are there , what is the action before/after you so just post hands u are uncertain about for evaluation and u will get a better idea how to play them.

one overcard isn't all that bad. Then you need to just figure out if you think the other guy is betting with top pair. And if you're even a little scared of it, fold. But especially with low pairs try to see a flop as cheaply as possible and hope for a set. Those are easy to play

Four main questions you need to answer.

1. What was the preflop action?
2. How many players saw the flop?
3. What type of opponents are they?
4. What is the flop texture?

You need to combine these four questions on the flop.

As an example, you open raise 77 from the CO and the BB calls. The BB is an 18/10/2 TAG. The flop is K63r.

1. I raised preflop so if he checks I bet. (standard)
2. It's HU so my hand is much stronger than if the pot was 3 or 4 ways.
3. He's a TAG so his range won't be as wide as a loose player (although still fairly wide defending against a CO open raise).
4. It's a dry flop, so despite the overcard it's pretty good for my hand.

Obviously that was just one of a million examples.

It would great if there was a standard answer to your question but each hand is so different. In the end it just comes down to experience, and reads.

Also, posting hands that you're not sure of and getting the opinion of others will help in these spots.

Edit: I just read Gape's post. He basically said what I said, I just like to use more words! ♦
