Quizzes, articles and other updates
Pocket pairs are amongst the strangest hands of poker. Being a favourite even with 22 against AK, you are usually holding the best hand before the flop, but things can turn around in the blink of an eye.
There are a lot of concepts applicable to pocket pairs in post-flop play and the hardest aspect of these situations is to correctly assess them and to subsequently put the correct approach to use.
Do you need to protect? Do you have the odds to call? Do you need fold
equity? How do you perform against the opponent's range? It's only
after these considerations that you are finally able to pick the
correct line of action with the most profitable expectations. Have you
grasped the thought process involved with basic post-flop play yet?
Test your knowledge in our quiz of the week
Quizzes are a fun way to test your knowledge, but it's also important to enhance your skills. Our strategy articles will help you improve your strategy as well as many more aspects of poker and this week, we prepared a No-Limit Silver article about "Advanced Open-raising".
This article by norenore tells you which starting hands can be played from which position, and under which circumstances you should act tighter or looser when playing full ring. The article also provides you with a detailed Starting Hand Chart. With this chart, you can develop your pre-flop play beyond the status of a beginner, without having to only rely on yourself.
