Hello fellow PokerStrategists!

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

Being ahead most of the time, you want to get the maximum into the pot while you are ahead. Chances are also rather high that your hand will remain the best hand until the showdown.

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

If you want to know how you perform with your premium hands in difficult spots, take the test now:

Nice quiz again!

The only answer I was marginally opposed to was for question 2. In the last month, every time I'm out of position and get raised on the flop HU it's either top pair or two pair. :f_mad:

I'm gonna go with the "sample size" explanation on this one and believe it. :f_p:
