1.Playing Medium Pairs
99-88-77: These hands are very situationally
dependent. In tight games, in early position, with
good aggressive players behind you, folding is a
valid option. In average texture games you can call
with these hands from early through middle position
if you feel that players behind you will call and
the game is not highly aggressive. Calling a raise
from early or middle position is only correct if
the pot is going to be played with significant volume.
Raising from middle position can often be correct
in games in which your value of aggression is high,
and you have a good chance to win the pot without
a call or play shorthanded against a player(s) that
you have good reads and control over. In late position,
with many callers, even if it is two bets to you,
calling is correct, for the most part in the hopes
of flopping a set. If it is one bet to you and your
opponents are likely to check to the raiser on the
flop, raising with the thought of taking a free
card if you miss your set on the flop is a valid
option. If you are calling three-bets cold with
these hands, there need to be at least 5 (preferably
more) opponents to make calling correct, and you
are calling only because you're getting the right
price to draw to a set.
