Small Pairs = Big Profit I play 1/2 no limit on FTP and small pairs are by far my most profitable starting hands. Normally when I play I will call any raise preflop up to 1/8th of somebody's stack. In cash games every time you flop a set SOMEBODY will pay you off with top pair even with a week kicker (even a better reason to keep the preflop bet cheap). As the stakes get higher people will lay down hands like AK more often, but the large majority of internet players at stakes up to 3/6 will stack off to you. I advise anybody who plays low stakes no limit to play every small pair at a cheap price and be patient. Sets are always the hardest hands to put people on and have a lot of disguised value. If you combine this with an agressive table image you can build a bankroll quickly. Plus, if you miss your set on the flop, muck it and move on. Hope this can help. Good luck at the tables, if anybody has a contrasting style I would love to hear it. |
