limit players.... how do you play pocket pairs?

[PShabi]

I guess I'll just have to disagree. I like to reraise in LP. Let's say, you have someone in early position making it 2 bets to go with AK. Everyone folds to you and you're in 9th position. Make it 3 bets. You buy the button, the blinds get out (hopefully) and you're heads up.

Now when the flop is 10-8-4 and he checks I bet out again and either take the hand right there or get him chasing with overcards. If he calls the flop, then checks the turn, I have a decision to make. Do I bet out or check and give him one more draw?

Well, this is where my instincts kick in and the reads I've made on their play in the past is helpful.

Not saying I don't have some tough decisions to make, but I trust myself in those spots.

FINAL IMPORTANT NOTE:

With this strategy, you will win a lot of pots without a showdown. People who called to draw on the flop, will not want to call a bigger bet on the turn. You win a lot of hands right there.

When you've got the set and you show that you reraised with 55, people are calling your raises with j10 and crap like that. And you know what, sometimes I'm holding KK or AA as well. Great for image
