Topic: Another beginner question - low/mid pocket pairs Forum: Card Chat

I've been keeping logs of each of my hands this past month.

In doing so I realize that over 50% of my losses (when it gets to the showdown) are when I have a pocket pair. Considering that the chances of getting a pocket pair are much lower than getting drawing cards, I realize that I must be playing my pairs way too deep into the hand.

Obviously, the high pocket pairs are great and, aside from the occasional bad beat, have been ery profitable for me. Doesn't take a genius to play them.

It's the medium to low pocket pairs that kill me. Strategies to play them tend to ary - some suggest big raises to push out as many callers as possible and others just to play conservativly in hopes of hitting trips. I can't get confident with any one way to play them, regardless of the board.

So how do you play low / mid pairs and how often do they end up winning the hand? In both tournies and cash games.
