Pocket Pairs

Post da Annette sobre como jogar pares de mão nas diversas situações e dependendo da stack em nº de BB:

Ok, so there has been a lot of posts about this lately, and i made a reply to one of em that i think lotta ppl missed, so ill copy it here again. Its a big leak in ppl's game to over value pp's when they have a short stack, and i often see terrible overshoves because ppl just dunno what to with them. Here's a chart for what I do in these spots.... now, im not saying this is the correct way to play em, but at least it will keep u out of trouble most of the time and the mistakes wont be too big.



Assuming utg at 9 handed table: (Very small or no ante)

Edit- This of course depends on the table and their callingranges as mentioned in the thread, but this is just some pointers if ur at a random table with no reads on the players


50x+
limp or raise

25x+:
raise all pps

20x-25x:
22-55 fold
66+ raise

15x-20x:
22-66 fold
77+ raise

12x-14x:
22-88 fold
88+ raise and call shove

10x-11x:
22-77 fold
88+ shove

9x:
22-44 fold
55+ shove

8x or less:
shove any pp




With antes later in tourneys:

14x-15x:
22-55 fold
66-88 raise and fold to shove
99+ raise and call shove

13x:
22-77 fold
88+ raise and call shove

11x-12x:
22-77 fold
88+ shove

10x:
22-33 (cant decide what to do with 44 lol) fold
55+ shove

9x or less:
shove any pp


Just felt like taking some responsibility and get some poker back up on the board after all this drama :)
